GS 348—aside from everything obviously well done here, can I just say how goddang gorgeous that painted landscape is?? Beautiful work, Ratt 👏

Many people have let me know they really liked that background, while it's the one I disliked so much I had to add the big bullfinch on it at the last minute because it looked so dull! We have entirely different eyeballs.

I also really really really want you people to remember that I use stock images these days (usually for the establishing shot) and just paint over them.

The calico with green eyes in the latest Jet & Harley has stolen my heart. The way you drew them in the last panel is just *chef's kiss*

Heart stealer! She'll put it in a jar.

“You care, but do it cruelly” ... That line of dialogue hit hard.

Doesn't it! Boneslav has been keeping a list.

Pinging off of Anon’s ask (would absolutely take a Runi plushie)—I would hope to see -all- of the MCs, but especially Boneslav. I want so much to hug him, he is so good. A plushie would make that possible. For now, I send enclosed in this ask my hugs to everyone (who will accept them) ♡

Page 304 as a whole is visually and lingually gorgeous but I absolutely love that last image of Iralee. She looks like the sweet and cool aunt that I’d want to spend deep into nights having philosophical conversations... or just talking, really. A lot can be gleaned from your art and the expressions.

Thank you! I'm very happy people have been enjoying these last few pages. It's often a worry of mine that readers get bored when we're not following the main cast, mostly because the comic updates so slow so it feels like a long time.

Here's a brighter Iralee from that panel. I like it too!

I think that I just connected with Runi on a spiritual level in the latest page. Them: “We can talk about your stuff too? What do you want to talk about?” Also them: “???”

They're good boys. I like to think they get a little dumb when they're in each others' orbit.

There is something very haunting about the expressions on Gitta and Prue’s faces as Loss comes for them. They don’t look afraid; they look almost in awe. I wonder what were their last thoughts.

For the heartbeat they saw it, they had no idea what they were looking at. But to be fair couple of readers thought it was a pinecone so who can blame them.

The latest J&H page has such raw emotional expression to it that is so well done. The dialogue, the interactions, how Jet dexterously handles the delicate situation, that I so feel for poor Harley's loss without even wholly knowing it, this is just *chef's kiss* ♡

Thank you so much. ♥
