Comic #971: Squatter (Patreon)

I almost called this one "RPG Cribs" as a play on MTV Cribs, but I just didn't know if anyone would get that reference anymore.

I thought I was done with the housing comics, but being that pre-release content started this week it seems like it's all anyone is talking about. Initially I thought I would make a comic where someone was struggling with decorating their home due to in-game mechanics, however, I'm not actually playing at the moment and haven't bought the expansion, so I have no way of testing it out myself.

I tried watching some videos but nothing was really coming to me that didn't feel forced. I then thought, what if I do a comic about a player who can't engage with the new content? What would they do? The rest of the comic came out of that idea. The first iteration of that idea was Donald going to various different shops and locations in the game and claiming them as his home, but it was just too long and busy.

I haven't used him in a while, but I used the same innkeeper design as the one from all the way back to comics like #459.
