I far more amused with “tall, bark, and fluffy” than I should be.

Sydney is only just barely on board with attempting polyamorous relationships, and even then, it does seem it’s mostly because the two guys she’s shown the most interest in were already taken. Well, except for Olivia’s half-brother cousin. (Back when I could get away with drawing half-backgrounds in half the panels.)

Okay, we don’t actually know if Tony was attached to anyone at the time, but Sydney never mustered the courage to ask him out, and she hasn’t seen him in the store lately, as she’s only there one and a half days a week now. Still, Sydney’s giving it the ‘ol college try. Just barely.

Digit is your typical scatterbrain inventor, which is a fun trope to play with, but if I had really given it a lot of thought before introducing in inventor into the comic, I think it would have been just as amusing to have an inventor that was super organized and buttoned-up. Like a sexy lady Jamie Hyneman. Which is not a sentence I thought I would ever type again. (I typed it once already in a (non-Grrl Power) Discord I occasionally idle in.) There isn’t a Grrl Power Discord in case anyone was wondering. My attention is already pulled in too many directions for me to manage something like that.

I guess that’s not to say Arc-SPARQ doesn’t have someone like that, but if they ever bumped into Digit, they might mutually annihilate.

We’ve got a brief cameo in the form of Frosty’s Prinrin, a goblin inventor. I’m not sure she’s normally this forward, but that’s how it worked out on this page. :) The Twilight Council has its own engineers, of course, but they work with magical stuff and enchanted things as much as they restore old pumpkin carriages and DeLoreans and whatnot.

If Prinrin does get Frix in bed, she might be the first cameo character that dies in the comic, because there is some evidence that Frix is… unaccommodatable to someone of her stature.


The new vote incentive is up! Some of you got sort of invested in Lapha and Garamm, so here she is testing out her new duds. I don’t know if or when they’ll show up in the comic again, (probably more a question of ‘when’) but we’ll have to see if she got any other options besides the tail. Personally I’d go for retractable, venomous fangs, but presumably if you get those, you also have to get a special upgraded pancreas or liver or something, in case you accidentally bite the inside of your own cheek with your fang.

As usual, there are a few variants over at Patreon, and as is becoming more common, a little follow-on comic.
