Caine takes his medicine

I drew this piece simply because I wanted to properly say goodbye to TADC, a show that has been with me for the past 3 years.

Thank you all so much! I'm honestly overwhelmed to see this comic reach 1000+ interactions! Reading everyone's thoughts and feedback makes all the sleep deprivation over the past two weeks completely worth it.

When I first thought of the idea, the comic was only 34 panels. But as I kept adding details during the drawing process, it just kept growing—and it ended up being 45 panels when it was finally finished.

Here are a few progress shots showing the evolution from initial concept to sketch to finished piece. Every single page here took about 4 to 8 hours to complete from scratch. Looking back, that's just crazy… haha.

Thank you all once again!

A rough post-finale Pomni and Caine comic.

When you’re an urban explorer making videos of abandoned buildings that you expect no one will watch— but then it turns out one of the buildings is inhabited by the Creature and that building has actually been his desperate lifetime hyperfixation & acted as his stand-in for the Entire World. Also: the weird dynamic you have with the freak who liked your 3am flop post.

I started writing this comic before episode 9, with the premise that Pomni might start reaching out to Caine for similar reasons she’d post videos she believes nobody will watch: not because you think anyone will listen, but because someone might. [and then revised it all after episode 9 came out and delved more into these ideas than I was expecting!]

The Amazing Digital Circus Episode 9 : “Remember” End Credits

[secretmellowart]

[see below the cut for the binary code, if you'd like to translate it!] I love the bit in the end of Ep 9 where Zooble fixes Caine a drink and he acts surprised/touched that they're offering it to him, so I drew: this comic of extended bar adventures. I’m riffing off the headcanon that Caine would get back to being a little more Goofy/insecure when he's no longer in full apologetic mode. I like the episode 9 moment a lot because it feels like a cute ending coda for both of their character arcs: Zooble learning to be at peace with their body, and also to embrace the idea that they can find meaning through building community for a few people who need it even if they can't change the world; Caine learning to sincerely care about the humans and their ideas, even as he's still early on the path to internalizing that he is also a person. The ep 9 moment is also a cute ending to the running Thing throughout the show where Caine's been desperate to be accepted by the humans, and his belief that Zooble in particular resists him for not being "mature" enough. I Just Think Their Friendship is Cute. {Check below the cut for the binary code + some extended thoughts.]

For some other bonus extended thoughts: I think Caine had two main things he needed to learn. The first was "you need to make an effort to understand/care about other people," and the second was "you are also a person, who exists outside of your programming and function." I think Ep 9 Caine has figured out how to empathize with others, but is still early on the path to recognizing his own personhood and his own capacity to love/be loved [see his scene with the moon, and her advice that "all good things take time."] He's still treating himself as a tool for the humans to use-- but will slowly learn to see himself as a person as he spends more time genuinely befriending kind & empathetic people. I like that Ep 9 Zooble is both more at peace playing with their digital body,  and also at peace with the idea that their life can be meaningful through the impact they have on a few lost & lonely people [even if they can never do anything that "changes the entire world."] Their IRL counterpart running an alternative clearly queer bar feels like a piece they were missing; they're someone who may not be changing the entire world, but is changing the world for the people who get to find the community they build. I also have a lot of thoughts on Caine & Zooble's dynamic throughout the show: Mainly that the circus has trapped Caine in a state of forced eternal infantilization, and he's resented Zooble because they've made him confront his own immaturity. I think that Zooble's bar in the real world really highlights how Zooble manages to do what Caine wishes he could--  build a place that people want to be a part of, serve people in a way that actually makes them happy, and become a sort of "pillar" in a community.
