23.25 - 23.26 (Patreon)

Dialogue is SO HARD sometimes. It's hard with comics because you don't want to write paragraphs but there so many things you wish you could say to get a character's thoughts across clearly, but you just can't include it all. I spent way too long on this page I'm disgusted. Might tweak eventually.

The 2nd tier reward will be posted today. After spending literal hours sweating over this dialogue I just had to put the computer down.

Also, sometimes the comments you guys leave are insightful. Of course Sooch knows they've been sexually active. Of course he knows they just had oral sex. However, in my circles when I was young, in a hetero context, touching and oral were just "sex acts" and were considered "lesser" than penetrative sex. And the word "sex" on its own always explicitly meant penetrative sex. Sooch's thoughts reflect this. Not sure if the discourse I saw in the comments in the last page was reflective of different social/regional cultures or a cultural shift that I wasn't aware of. Many of you were left with the impression that Sooch didn't realize that they were having sex or that he thought penetration was the only form of sex 😵

And the discourse is why I stress so much about dialogue to try to make my character's thoughts crystal clear 😭

I'm tired of typing I'm checking out for the night KO
