Yes, this page is just so Dabbler can debut a dumb shirt. But I hadn’t drawn Dabbler at the construction of the dungeon, which she would definitely be involved in, so I guess she was off doing something, be it going over engineering plans or just “charging up” for a day of heavy magic use, but this amused me more than her just arriving by stepping in from off panel.
Max is going to get suspicious when she notices Dabbler backing away from her and strafing side to side like she’s the little staple thing from Tempest and Max is the source of all the sparks and lines. A tortured simile, admittedly. I just mean Max is likely to notice Dabbler conspicuously taking pains to remain facing her. Not that it’s a big deal for her to change her shirt. Dabbler is probably wearing a generic tank-top or a basic baby-doll-Tee and has a glamor over it. Easier to do glamors over a similar thing. It’s why Dabbler can only make herself look like beautiful women. She never learned the advanced stuff to make herself look like an old witch selling poison apples or whatever. Despite the obvious utility of more flexible glamors, she had a choice between “Glamors 401” and “Particle Weaponry 401” and wound up becoming a TA in that class before even finishing it. And then annoyed the professor by incorporating 601 level concepts into her mid-term and accidentally turned an overflow parking lot into a seething cauldron of exotic particles gifted the school a new pool. A heated pool. Heated by exotic particles. But that’s okay, the next 75 years of students in the advanced magic healing courses got a good education.
I’m going to try something with this new vote incentive.
This month, I’m closing on a new house, selling my Mom’s house, finishing packing Mom’s house, moving city to city to the new house, forwarding mail, canceling utilities, all that. And after that’s done, I get to start the process of selling my old house, which needs a little work before it can realistically go on the market.
SO. I’m going to try and do this vote incentive in stages. Currently it’s just pencils. The TopWebcomics one will update with colors and detail until we get to the no clothes versions, then that will continue over at Patreon. Also there will be a comic or two in between each version to fill out the story.
I know it’s hard to tell from just the pencils, but this is Heatwave and Jiggawatt. The comics will explain why they’re doing what they’re doing. Although I feel like even saying that much makes it easy to guess, but hopefully the journey will still amuse.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
