Comic #921: The Great Vault (Patreon)

I can't believe I've never made a comic about the vault. I feel like this has been a long time coming. I feel like I've tried to start this comic dozens of times over the years and could never come up with a punchline I was happy with.

I always had a similar start. One of the characters would be looking at their vault, and it would be completely full with the same slot. It was similar in concept to #570. This time I tried to imagine that the character in question silently picked up the vault panel, and took it outside to throw it away. But it still didn't feel like enough.

I wanted to see if I could connect it more to this expansion, and then the idea of the press inside the Dornogal forge came to me. It's also the perfect frame to animate because it repeats very easily.

It also gave me a good opportunity to make some jokes with the cloak names in the first panel.
