page 31 of part 3 of the comic strip.
I planned this with a blow gun without really thinking about it. When I came back to it two weeks ago that seemed bland. I couldn’t think of anything to change it to except a sling shot, but then remembered i already used a slingshot on a page that i suppose realistically was not all that long ago. I also considered but did not draw a tiny bow-and-arrow but justified reverting to the blow gun on the grounds that kumquat looks funny opening its mouth like that. But then I had to tilt its angle more toward the viewer to seem less like it was deliberately aiming away from elpse, and consequently made it look less funny!
I also had to mirror the layouts over flow of information concerns and hopefully this will not screw up the page after this which I already laid out with the expectation that kumquat was attacking from the right instead of left!

I am getting a vague impression that Kumquat is a villain, and I wish the heroes, such as Nemitz, to be okay.
Frimpinheap sez:
This is consistent with past kumquat behaviour apart from it having left its house. Notice that lope is exaggerating the amount of torment that it is in.
Frimpinheap sez:
oh nuts I forgot to turn one of the dialog layers back on! This is a relatively new problem since for most of the production I [needed to] put everything on single layer flat images, but I often suffered for that in other ways, which is one reason that retrofitting old pages for printing takes so long.
Alright there it goes.
And nemitz is no hero!
Charmlatan sez:
Wasn’t expecting another update so timely. Really made my Wednesday!
With Lope and Elpse tranquilized, the question remains: will Nemitz feel left out.
Frimpinheap sez:
Nemitz will get what is coming to it on the next page
I had to post the previous page late because I wanted to get my prior complaints gone as soon as they come to me, lest I still be dwelling on them!
Purplespace sez:
Kumquat has been found out again! He’s being very bad at remaining in the shadows this time!
Frimpinheap sez:
sometimes it is necessary to reveal yourself in order to make sure your target stops moving out of the way!
