This is the end of comic #500. There will be one more comic in April. (And here's the monthly reminder: you can cap your monthly pledge amount....)

Kyleen Valleaux Woah. The horse being vaporized. Nice work. ::shudder::

klio Poor horse. Only just got a featured role and a name before getting zapped and having her soft parts replaced by superheated ash. Other than tiny skellington man in the previous comic, I couldn't bear to show a person dissolving, much less someone we've come to know. Though the temptation to show Talicus was growing.

Well, that took unexpectedly long. I like shouty guy. I think he's going to get a recurring role. Next up: a Sunday colour comic.

Back in the saddle again. Wobbly, but back, anyway.


I'm working on the next comic (technically Monday's), to post it here tomorrow along with a Sunday comic. It's...hmm...90% pencilled :)

SPQR Blues Chapter IV: CCLIX

Here's Monday's comic early, since I'm still working on the long-promised Sunday comics. (And the art requests! For those who haven't had a chance to request art yet, please stand by, I'll be in touch during the week!)

In about 3 seconds Iusta was going to see if showing him what an actual hysterical woman looks like would have been any help in getting what she wants.

One of the folks on LJ made an interesting comment about the previous comic:

"Nine days and still in refugee accommodations? I have a suspicion that Justa isn't used to being an adult on her own. Calatoria Themis would have sent messengers here there and everywhere to all kinds of people for help and assistance and probably would have been invited to some villa by now. Justa is waiting for someone to deal with things, because despite her father's 'businessman's wife' line, she isn't ready to use what clout she has (and she certainly has some as her rich husband's wife/widow)."

I have to agree that's true--she's only using her clout to try to find someone who will take care of things for her. That might be about to change.

Friday's comic, early.

Damon has named the kitten, but, in an uncharacteristic display of tact, doesn't feel that now is the time for an introduction.

Monday's comic.


I think the story loses its urgency when the updates run late. I'm going to spend this afternoon working on next week's comics so they can post regularly, on time, and keep that pacing going.

klio

September 13, 2015 16:01:03

Jaren Provo Hey, that's great news! I think you're right -- a bit more regularity would probably help, from a reader's perspective. But at the same time, don't let it tire you out! I think most of us would rather that you take a bit more time than have rushed art and rigid storylines. Deadlines and structure can be helpful to promote focus and to justify creative "indulgences" ("I _have_ to work on my novel today because I have a benchmark to meet!"), but too much of it and the work becomes mechanical. It's a tough balance to strike -- at least it has been for me. I'm all for more predictability in access and more of your work! And if a pace focused on regular updates helps you creatively, go for it! But don't let a sense of obligation kill your spirit or the spirit of your work. Also, we really like you, and would prefer that you stay healthy and sort of sane. :)

klio Hi - Thank you for the supportive and encouraging comment! A little occasional cheerleading really helps me stay sort-of-sane :D

September 14, 2015 20:02:39 · Reply

Jaren Provo I really marvel at the quality of your work, and wonder how you manage to do it so well every week, on top of your "real job" (in quotation marks here not to devalue your freelance work, but to avoid devaluing your work here on SPQR Blues). You have a lot to be proud of. I guess I consider this more pointing out the truth than cheerleading -- but maybe you don't hear that as much as you deserve to. I find a lot of value in what you do, and I know I'm not the only one. So hang in there! I always look forward to seeing your work. (Even if you _did_ shave off our hero's manly stubble. :) )

Iagoba Ferreira People form Madrid (city, not province) still have the nickname "gatos" (cats, or felix) as a legend says that when the city was besieged by the christians, a boy climbed the wall like a cat to change a muslim flag for a christian one. Damon has earned that nickname by itself...
