What a cute chapter!! (we don't talk about the last few pages). I know it's not about her, but I love you, Jojie Guinto

Nah you're fine, she'd agree that this all should've been about her

I'm crying in the club about these babieeees I'm so glad they have each other even with all the hardships life throws at them <3

they do in fact have each other despite everything

I wonder who's the easiest character to draw for you? And who are you struggling the most with? Your style makes the difficult look almost effortless, but I'm sure that's not true 😅 Love the comic, keep up the good work!

Thank you, that's probably one of the nicest things I've heard about my work 😭😭😭

I definitely struggle the most (if not only) with Kyereh! He's supposed to convey that almost uncanny, doll-like appearance akin to Greek marble statues, so I always spend the most time drawing him and adding all sorts of details to his face. I also often have to redraw him a few times when I'm not satisfied with the vibe :')

The rest are relatively easy to draw! I think one of the most pleasant and easiest characters for me to draw is Juno. He always turns out perfect on the first attempt.

Another one of my favorites is Bahati. I was actually just drawing him right now! I'm always excited when I open the script and see that he'll be in the future chapter and that I'll get to draw him more lol

The more I read your comic, the more I think it’s probably not such a good idea for Wen to go looking for her creepy missing mother lmao

I really like the choice of how this comic is formatted! the one at a time panel uploads and the way they sometimes overlap with each other really adds to the vibe in a way I wish more webcomics utilized! the ones that break the "barrier" of a static print comic are always my favourites. really loving the story so far, too!

Thank you so much!!! That's actually the main reason I needed my own site to publish the comic: no other platform allowed this seamless change of frames without taking a few seconds to load the next page, and I REALLY wanted to use this format. So I'm super happy it works!

I also love doing pages like these because you can turn them into a gif hehe

I was wondering how exactly Wen's ears work, anatomically speaking. Are both pairs of ears functional? How do the animal ears connect to her head? Feel free to ignore me if it's something you're going to explain in the comic I'm just a biology nerd lmao. Keep up the good work!

Hello, and thanks for the question!

Anatomically speaking, they don’t work. To put it simply, they’re just fleshy floppy appendages growing out of her head. They don’t replace her human ears and have no ear canals or nerve endings. You can think of them as a weird cosmetic mutation with no clear explanation (yet). The only reason Bahati didn’t remove them surgically (as he initially wanted to) was because Wen strongly refused, insisting they looked super cool and that she wanted to keep them.

when they get to the main lab, Agatha's gonna sue Lin Wen for ruining her perfectly fine emotionless and hobby-less automaton 😭

Ngl right now Wen's more worried about Agatha suing her for breaking in and stealing hghfhgh Hopefully she won't notice her machine now acts weird too

i NEED to hug Illirik, i don't care about the consequences, she's just a BABY 😭 also that panel of her, Wen and Juno just Sitting there in the forest in silence is so funny for no reason at all
