The MYSTERY TRIO in “Not, In Fact, a Ghost Story”!

WHEW.

This comic has been a long time coming, as folks who have followed this blog and seen the various teasers over the past year will know. Actually I’ve been working on it even longer than that!

This was done as a trade for @pirably, in exchange for the wonderful Portal Ford plush he made! (Seen here.) The characters of Aru (big skull-faced monster) and Marun (the cat with the interdimensional-projection abilities) are two of his OCs who are friends of Portal Ford (see links to his tags for more of them!). This story took shape between us, and all through the process, he gave me invaluable feedback and really made this better. (I’ll say right now: the brilliant Bill-eye layout of page 8 was his idea; my original sketch was much more boring.)

While I’m terribly overdue in finishing my half of the trade, it’s probably fortunate I took so long, as this would have been 10x harder to do without being able to work digitally in CSP, and probably wouldn’t have come out as well either..

I realized at the end that the theme and atmosphere of the story was just spooky enough to make for a good Halloween post. So, also:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

what’s this? yet another variant on gravity falls cipher fonts? why yes it is!

included are 3 symbol substitution ciphers: the author’s, bill’s, and the one introduced in journal 3. download here

i edited & occasionally pieced together the symbols from this, then eyeballed the scale and spacing using journal 3 as a reference. these fonts cover the basic alphabet, a comma, and a period, so as long as you type all your numbers as words & avoid punctuation you’ll be golden.
