Understanding
I wasn't sure what to put here to promote the comic, and had a thought: I have NO idea why we call "understanding" understanding.
We're under a stand? Standing under something? Under... Comprehension???
Rhoda FINALLY getting some dinner
There's presumably more to this, but that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.
A brief history
An abridged telling of an abridged version of a shortened summary of a recap of a wiki article of a... Um... Where was this sentence going?
"And that's when I became Batman."

To clarify, by "minor", I mean it's not huge changes to the story or its direction, but in how exactly the next few comics go. I wasn't satisfied with what I had planned, and am currently sorting it out.

Oh hey! THOSE guys!
Awkward moments? This comic has had a few. It will probably have more, if I'm being honest. Unless this is the last one? Maybe it is! A new era, free of awkward moments?!
Nah, that would be awkward.
Rhoda not found
Also Catalina, but putting both their names there would be a lot of syllables, and "Rhoda" is only two, so there.

Who fears a strong woman
Next EGSNP (after this) will be next Thursday (13th) due to a shoulder issue.
It's not super bad (as evidenced by story pages continuing), but still an issue. I elaborate in the commentary.
Super scary Lucy
As opposed to just scary Lucy, or Lucy-Lucy.
I do hope Catalina remembers my strict "no cults" policy.
Granted, Rhoda is one of several characters I could imagine one forming around. 2024-06-04 03:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Carry capacity
I mean, they SAY it exists for game balance, and maybe it does, but with some games, it's just a speed bump, y'know? I sorta liked it in Fallout 3 and NV, though. Gluing broken items together felt productive.
