The quest to finish a short story without getting sidetracked or blocked is ongoing! Thank you for the enthusiastic response to the prose version of "Dating", it's very, very encouraging. The drawn version will comprise give or take 8 posts. Showing you all the written story has kind of locked it in my mind as finished, so drawing it has been smooth sailing so far – no neurotic backtracking or second-guessing the narrative, which is a big part of what hindered my comics for the past couple of years. Also, for the sake of expediency, I've gone back to the much simpler kind of colouring I used to do – the nicer, newer colouring I'll probably reserve for pinups and one-off illustrations. Hope you enjoy this! (Some tweaks to colours or details should be happening over the next day or so.)
