Templar: CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!

When he passes out, they're gonna stick his hand in a bowl of warm water.

Or maybe not.

You'd think this page would have gone quicker, since there's no lettering on it. Yup. You'd certainly think that.

Of course, it didn't help that my monitor crapped out on me halfway through clean-up. Sorry, guys. Unforeseen this-n-that, I'm sure you dig me.

That same this-n-that has prevented me from updating the pre-order goal meter for a full day. It's so late now that I'm just gonna leave it until midnight tonight. Why not, right? Don't let that discourage you from grabbing a book, though. We're already more than a quarter of the way to goal! HOLY CRAP. Let's get this book paid for before June!

And hey, while you're here... why not subscribe to Toy Division's new RSS feed? Toy Division is Mimo's comic, a horrible, horrible comedy about the country of Vulgaria and the terrible people who live there. I recommend it completely.

Bye!

You sure know how to get a guy wondering what the fuck is going on, while silently entertaining his own theories (and assuming that his theories will be proven wrong).

MORE computer problems. Not a good year for that, eh.

I absolutely love the layout of this page. The image of the panels around him making that kind of image of a saint halo like on stained glass windows...really brilliant. I'll say it, you're the shit :P

By the way... I love Zora here. I've always loved her, but it's just so endearing to see her worry so much about her father.

drink for the jar of visions?
maybe being a part time guzzler of unknown hallucinogenic beverages is contributing to what makes him so....unique.

You beat me to it, Brandon, I was just coming to gush about the layout on this page - the last three panels convey an intensely psychedelic vibe while containing no mystical/fantastical imagery - it's just the kinetic dynamism of the drawing. Potent stuff (pun intended).

But that's not all: consider the thematic juxtaposition: Gene is upstairs, swilling down his presumed psychoactive hellbroth surrounded by his raucous family: meanwhile, Ben is downstairs, silent and solitary, considering flushing his scientifically sanctioned psychoactives down the drain, potentially initiating a dramatic, fundamentally chemical transformation of his own mind. I'm stoked, personally.

Nanojath, you make a really great point. The simultaneous experience of Ben and Gene is a fascinating juxtaposition. It's going to be interesting to see the change in both of them afterwards.
