You know it's real sad boy hours when the sun starts to set.

But all jokes aside i think this page really sets the direction of the story and I love what Io did with the dialogue <3 So much that I might have procrastinated on some freelance stuff to get this scene done.

I kinda wanted to do this scene as a double page, but, well, only finished one of them in the end :') Might still stitch them together for the website update. Io wrote some great dialogue based on whatever WORD SCRAPS i provided and i really can't wait to put the next page up!

Also how did i end up working on a scifi co...

4 More Obscure D&W Easter Eggs

My roundup of the stealthy sci-fi namedrops tucked into the far recesses of the comic seemed to go over well, so here's another four for good measure.

The Black Rot - a flesh-eating pandemic that spurred the rise of modern cyberware - only recen...

I hope you're as excited for Lin's campaign antics as I am.

I don't love drawing that car or crowdshots, but this is gonna be worth it :v I hope.

Finally, we get to the Lin Does Politics scene I wrote a while ago (and Io rewrote properly as it usually happens with all my scripts/thumbnails :v) I planned it out of context and I was worried about the tone switch being a bit jarring after the club scene ending, but hey, that's D&W. Gotta move forward. There's always a...

The $666 Vlad Pinup Noone Asked For

drugsandwires post The $666 Vlad Pinup Noone Asked For from patreon

I've been threatening a Vlad pinup calendar for year if we reached $666, and we finally got there, so...here's a drawing

...I'd be ok with drawing non-ironic pinups every month if we stay here. Maybe even of..not Vlad?? 

I can also be financially enticed to never draw any of this again

Good news: Dan's not dead. Bad news: he's still a character in our comic and Consequences Are Coming.

But hey, at least The Icebox takes care of their own and isn't as bad a place as Dan would have you think. As I've told Io the other week, if this happened at the Abyss Cafe, they'd probably frame his corpse as an art i...

Well, I guess no one's too surprised to see where it all was going.  

I've been pretty eager to get to the Sad Page in the comic, but i feel positively drained now. And we're not even done. We're never done.

..Also known as a "maybe18" in my chapter file, since it was kind of unplanned. While Troy and Mira encounter was supposed in this scene, we decided to bump it up and basically allow Troy to have one more page where she doesn't suffer horribly. We're kind souls like that :D

I was surprised to find out that Mira hasn't a...

5 Obscure D&W Easter Eggs

We tuck a lot of little winks and nods into D&W, some more well-hidden than others. In fact, some are so discreet - or downright cryptic - that they've flown under the radar for years now. So to extend our 150 backer party, here's just five of D&W's deeper cuts:

To celebrate cracking 150 patrons and finally getting our buffer back, here's a little peek at what could have been...

ANOTHER PAGE. Really didn't think I'd finish this one before going away for the weekend. 

I enjoy drawing non-sulky Dan. It's a rare sight :v Maybe i'm just trying to fill the void BPA left when I finished drawing it.

I've been waiting to draw this moment for SO LONG. The original version of this scene is about 5 years old at this point and I'm sure Io's gonna put it up at some point, but I do love what we ended up with.

Could it be....two pages in the buffer??

When i wanna draw something, i REALLY wanna draw it, i guess. Unfortunately the opposite is also true. But let's enjoy the moment while we can and torture Troy some more while we're at it.

It's happening! After a few weeks of in-comic time and like 4 years of IRL time we're finally back at the Icebox.

Wait, we're finally a full week ahead of the website? I thought this day would never come. Here's hoping we can keep this up. It helps that this page is pretty decompressed by D&W standards though (i sure wish we had more like it, readers might disagree with the sentiment :v)

Welp, this page took forever, but it's hopefully worth it :v As Io said, I wrote it myself (other than Io's usual dialogue punch ups) so I've got no one to blame but myself. I'm just impressed I managed to squeeze all of it in tbh :v

Look, I can only draw so many perfectly scripted pages of Normal Events occuring before needing some weird fever dream to make things fun again

So here's some premium patreon-only content

I kinda feel like it might make more sense down the line, so maybe we'll revisit it in a couple of years :v
