I finally managed to pull off the page I've been practically dreaming of since the start of the comic. I don't know why, but it makes me feel like I've reached my first major milestone.  More than chapter breaks, which are more convieniece than anything else, reaching the major scenes and 'Ah Ha' moments have a great sense of acomplishment.

Beyond that, the doublepage spread is something I don't think I will be attempting again anytime soon. I really, really wanted to get it out for the week it was due, but of course the production timing of it happened to coincide with my trip to Birmingham, UK for the 100th international Rotary Convevtion (Amazing, by the way, just absolutely straight up amazing.) As it was it was down to the wire. 

I'm really greatful for the fans I have - so far they've been pretty straight up amazing. But the reception of milestones always makes me a little nervous. I'm especially nervous about this page, since there are alot of subtle (and not subtle) details in it that are kind of critical to the story - there are so many hints in it from which you can infer the construction of the world that this comic inhabits. I'm not sure if revealing them here is enough, or if I should do some more obvious re-enforcing of some things later. Either way, the groundwork has been laid, and I can do what I can.  I expect quite a bit more world building to be revealed in this chapter.
