Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.

This morning (7 pm but we don't talk about that) when I awoke from my fever dream, I realized somthing... Baby animals shit.

For some reason it never occurred to me that a puppy or a kitten...would SHIT. Like????

Why have I never seen baby animal shit? It's so weird.

To all people whose birfdabs are in June...

Congratulations, you were born, have a happy celebration :)

Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed yesterday with a misfire from a prop gun by Alec Baldwin (who, yes, is dealing with the unbearable weight of having accidentally taken a life). I don't understand why real guns are still used as props. Brandon Lee, perhaps the most infamous death from a prop gun misfire, died in 1993. It should only take one time to make drastic changes.

No, I don't know anything about filmmaking and what the technicalities are but if the gun can shoot real bullets, it's not a prop. If the bullets can cause death, they're not props.

My minimal understanding is that the guns are real but the bullets are supposed to be blanks.

The director of the film, Joel Souza, was also injured but I believe he is expected to recover.

DUDE I-

Anyway yeah that was a crazy ass dream

THIS. TOOK. FOREVER. Part of it was that this was a side project while I finished out the term (my last college term ever, yahoo!), another part of it was that I really tried not to cut too many corners while making this. Some corners still were cut, but you can tell I was more careful & methodical here than I can sometimes get while making comics.

Surprisingly, the stage I struggled the most with was deciding on a color palette. I blame half of that on my decision to save time by not doing color comps for the characters/setting beforehand (HUGE mistake), and the other half on the fact that I just... didn't really conceptualize this thing as having colors at all. Maybe at some later date I'll clean up the lineart and post a black & white version.

Overall though, I'm very glad this is complete. I hope you all like it.
