New page up today! I'm speeding up the plot arc in the next few pages, I hope that doesn't bug anyone.

Transcript:
And that's all I really remember.... after that it's just a blur...
That's such a sad last memory...
The only thing that cuts through the blur at the end is those tear stained eyes. I don't remember what it means, though... I'm sure it was important...
Telling the human how things work around here, Miss D1t-chan?
I'm sure He wouldn't approve of that sort of exposition.
I'm sure He wouldn't. And we all know how highly you think of Him, Mason. What re you doing here?

Chapter 2: Page 6 11/23/12

New page style, again. After some critical overview I changed it up. I will, probably, include this artstyle across the board in the next compilation. I like the black backgrounds better, but some were saying it got hard to read. Hence the change. Anyway, back to regularly scheduled programming. I'm not entirely fond of changing artstyle in mid chapter, but I decided to throw caution to the wind this time.

 

Transcript:

Girl: I was... I was trying to escape when it... it happened. I needed to escape once in awhile, find a nice place, crash for a drink.

Often the guys would be so sweet there. Not all of them, but compared to... compared to...

My father was a great example of a terrible human being. He did try, he really did, but he would drink, and then.... we would all... wish he didn't....

That's why I would hide in the pubs... I could pretend I was... I was wanted. None of us were, but he still tried to "do his duty", I guess.

I was on one of my escapes. I didn't want to go back, that would have made it so much worse. I had to wait at least until I was sure he had drank himself to sleep.

Not a Page, again.

Okay, I have the first chapter, published on lulu, my spotlight is http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/sydself
Sorry, it's on sale for the massively overpriced amount of $11.00, at least once the volumes get bigger the unit price will go down. Publishing's expensive. And it's still cheaper than doing it myself. I wanted, as I said, a price of $2.00, but that didn't happen. In the volumized version you get a few omake pages at the end, this time it's even worse by me not having much relevant to this project to mock, so I'm mocking projects I haven't even started yet. Oh, and skyborn, I can't avoid a shot at that. But if you wanna support this comic, picking up a copy would be helpful. I won't blame you for waiting until it's cheaper, though.

The text in the volumized is also all redone, because I read something about font copyright in the meantime, and until I pay my dues to the people who's fonts I used, I'm going to use the generic typefaces instead. Sorry about that. Once I buy a license I'll bring them back. I probably should fix them in the archive too. And I added a cosmetic change to page 12, I figured it had more effect.

Chapter 2: Page 5 11/14/19

 New page, I like the art a bit better, but I was having a good art day, got some omake for the first issue done. In this case, this means that I found some sketches for unrelated projects and added a bunch of chibis in, but what can I say? It still's passable, and I wound up making fun of my own art alot. I almost have the purchasable issue system finished, I'm not entirely sure though. I think I will be using lulu, which will make it available on amazon. Not going to worry about a true volumized collection until later, though. This will be the first chapter with a large quantity of omake in the end. Also, any requests, which I am now taking. You will get a separate signed copy of the request, and it will be included in the volume, They will not be in the issue format for various reasons. Unfortunately, I think that issues are going to be running around eight dollars apiece, which is far more than I wanted. In this case, I don't really have a choice, printing costs are much more ridiculous than I had expected when I earlier intended to sell them for a fourth of that cost.
