Introduction to this weeks page


When i began making the pages for this comic, 93 pages ago, I just let the story develop freely and wildly without any thought of tomorrow. Now things has to be done slightly different even though I haven't given up on throwing in whatever idiosyncratic, whimsical idea I please. But the process has changed, so even though I have let stories within stories come to life and invented new characters in an already crowded story, I still have to get after them like a border collie reigning in a flock of brainless sheep. Things have to develop and stories has to be completed.

This page consist of some of the CIA progress in trying to catch our friends, but then it breaks off and let Eileen tell a story that was never really completed: the story about Eleanor Knight. On this page we get to follow Eleanor to her grave, and we also get to understand the dominant and slightly crazy High priestess, Gwendolyn, a little better. I am very pleased with the last frame, and I also learned something new while drawing it: If you want to draw a teenage girl, give her very thin legs.

Happy reading.

That's very touching. There have been a lot of threads in this story and it must be hard to keep track of them.

It is pretty scary how we can be tracked now. Facial recognition will only get better. Technology is catching up with science fiction. You used to have some technical tips from Phill in early strips. Any chance of that coming back?

For some reason the main comic image appears smaller when I click it in peakd and loses resolution when I enlarge it.

I actually have a "Phill's security advice" planned and it is actully facial recognition that's the topic. I tend to throw them in when I see it in the story and I think that it has been a while since the last one. They are often hard to fit in, as you have to be very careful to make it both short, funny and factual, but I think they are a fun little detail inspired by the "Crimestoppers" in the old law and order comic, Dick Tracy.

Thanks for sharing the comic on Twitter. I have had a hard time doing all the SoMe chores so it is very much appreciated.

@slobberchops should take note of that tip as he explores abandoned houses.

Sharing stuff around is part of giving back to those who entertain us. I'd love to see you gain lots more readers.
