That’s right, Ten. You left some of your stuff in the other room. Good job.
This page is a little short because we’re transitioning into a new bit of the story … one that has humor and smiles in it again! I’m stoked. I miss drawing happy Ten.
This week’s vote incentive is courtesy of my fiance, Luke. Jael came up in conversation and I was explaining the trifecta of why he’s so screwed up, but zoned out and trailed off after “drugs.” Luke of course finished the thought with “sex and rock & roll?” And thus…
If you haven’t cast your vote for which short story you’d like (and possibly your second choice in case two stories end up happening), go back a page and let me know what you want! I’m going to give it another week and then tally things up and get to drawing.
Oh, and check it out. I added a button over to the left to make it easier to get to the bonus pages. Convenience for all!

Ya know… I like how waaaay off in space, far far far away from Earth, there are aliens who have the exact same looking prescription bottles as we do! ;D I want that to be true in real life. Maybe it is…!
That would be pretty awesome if it were the case. XD
*hears Jael singing* “Is all my mind and body need.”
This page is “very good indeed”
Smiles upcoming?! Yay!
On a side note, haven’t talked much of late, due to the fact I quit Caffeine about 10 days ago.
So I’ve been very, very irritable, much headaches, and sleep/hunger issues.
Sleep for 12 hours one day? 3 the next. Eat nothing one day? Eat half a dozen of donuts, 2 chicken legs, and mashed potatoes by 10 am the next.
… Grumpy zan is grumpy.
Sorry to hear it… but hold tough, it WILL get better.
Yeah, been there, done (suffered) that. I’m *really* glad I got off the caffeine train, you will be too.
And reading Shades of Gray helps lots too, I’m sure
Having had much experience with mass childhood pill consumption myself I can speak from experience trying to gulp down dry just 1 is a chore, a whole handful like that and your tongue is jumping out of your head in revolt
Oddly enough, I’ve never had enough issue with swallowing pills.
pills aren’t them selves the problem, I’ve taken pills that are the size of my pinky, the issue stems from not having a swig of liquids to chase it and keep it from sticking to your tongue on the way down
Amen, Jael. That is a great song <3
He's still one of my favorite characters, and seeing him rock out isn't going to change anything. ESPECIALLY when he's being so badass he can play without sensation in his chord hand!
Uhn, I missed the part where his hand is injured? Where a bouts did that happen? Please?
Jael got that scar when he was a kid, and tells Ten a story about it on page 29.
If you look closely, he actually has a lot of scars on him (right hand, left ear, and all over his torso.) They’re old and faded and a little hard to see at a distance, but they’re there.
I knew about the ear. Somehow didn’t remember the hand. Issues with parents, or fellow students for the rest? Or just rough life?
Well now, that would be telling.
Er, … isn’t that what you do, here? Tell us the characters stories? Is it a planned arc or unplanned arc, or just left unknown? Your answer implies the latter. Inquiring minds, and all that. Makes me think of that old Muppet movie, where the Uru mystic says, “So. My hand!”
At the moment the chunk of years that Jael is absent from Ten’s life is going to be one of the few backstories I don’t plan on elaborating on in great detail. I plan on dropping hints and minor details here and there, but the vast majority of what happened to Jael during his childhood is going to be left to the reader’s imagination.
Whatever it was must’ve really -hurt-. So we won’t be getting a /Jael’s/ story after Ten’s run is complete, eh? ;3
It’s more that once enough hints get dropped about it, I don’t think anyone will really *want* to know the exact details of his past.
Ominous… o.o
For some reason, I find it easier to dry swallow pills, most of the time.
All that “missing cup” panel needs now is shine lines with the word “gone” above it.
