I have a knee pain issue, and I can't find a way to sit and work on the comic without feeling like I'm making it worse.
This is an issue I woke up with on Saturday, and my hope is with rest, it will go away, but I can't know for sure.

Penultimate Epic Character Creation
Penultimate being the last comic before the last comic, so the second-to-last comic of the storyline. Which most of you will know, but hey, something to write here.
I was acting perfectly naturally in panel one and claims to the contrary accusing me of trying to look a particular way for attention are ludicrous.

I didn't go with "the device" for the first two panels just to build suspense. I also knew I'd spend approximately ten thousand years sketching and resketching the outfit, and experimenting with the shading.
This proved wise.

Or engineering or something. Look, if you want this sort of thing to be taken seriously, you call the character a scientist. I don't make the rules.
It's all incredibly scientific.

Caught off-guard by the invitation to the magic tea shop, Ashley shook her head, and claimed she'd never been there before. She soon regretted this lie, for Grace and Sarah immediately insisted on introducing her to it.
Once there, Ashley did everything in her power to distract Grace and Sarah from seeing the plaque celebrating her as a regular, and exceptionally enthusiastic, customer.
As tends to happen with sitcom-style hijinks, these attempts at distraction escalated, inevitab...

I'm not feeling well, and I'm suspicious it might be stress. It could also be a stomach bug or something. I should probably stop trying to self-diagnose.

Attack of the mean girl tomatoes?
The genuine answer is “of course not”.

(I deserve to be criticized for this, I know. I even had a magic wand call out Tedd on not getting enough rest).
Also, please let me know if you'd prefer I not post schedule announcements like this here. I'm not sure if I'm being considerate, or if I'm just unnecessarily taking up space in people's inboxes 😥

The character creation kind, not the travel between dimensions kind. Someone will get that reference in 2024, right? No? Not even me? I do feel a little confused by it somehow.

Double Date - The End
From our perspective, I mean. The date's still going for them. They've got way more frames to finish and stuff.
This is the end of the storyline, but this plot will be continued in the main section someday!
EGSNP will return Tuesday, October 8th.
I'm also plotting a sketchbook next Thursday on the third.
