EDIT Tuesday, June 9th: Final panels added. Thank you so much for reading! I'll be working on the next comic as soon as I can. It should be more on the light-hearted side this time. EDIT

EDIT Tuesday, June 9th: Panels 193- 216 added EDIT

EDIT Monday, June 8th: Panels 175-192 added EDIT

After the events of "Truth or Dare", Pomni and the crew respond to Jax's recent close call with abstraction. Though they show their support, will it be enough to convince Jax to change his ways and begin following a new path?

As I've mentioned before, absolutely no comments about the episode nine leaks please!

And We’re back to the amazing depressing digital circus Comic

rjln109

Love to see this continued!

Ms-Sharazar

He looks soo tired😢, also i was just thinking of making fanart of your fanart of pomni removing the glass today!🤣 can't wait for more!!!

Samantha Jay

Your facial expressions are my favorite, they’re so perfect. Jax resting his head on her shoulder just says everything

Mg0Mg0

This is awesome! Another part! Honestly, starting from this chapter, I can no longer predict how Jax will behave in your AU. But I love it! I'm even more excited for the next part than usual! Thank you!

princetfae

waauugh 😭 theyre so sad... glad to see this continued!!

Kazoo

Sweet babies 😭💕

ThankedAura

I’m glad to see the Truth or Dare story continued. Jax looks so tired tho.

Luckyrabbit 1927

Oh my heart, he looks so rough. Get this boy a long nap and a hot chocolate.

MindSlave

I’m really happy to see there is another comic to look forward to in these trying times!

red

What an intimate conversation

Blizzard

One of my favorite things about your comics is that you can’t predict where the story will go, great work!!

NekoMinSeo

This is so cute. I love how you made Jax look so vulnerable and small. ;w;

JCuzia CoStars

Never have I been this excited to wanna see this comic in my life by the way

Karen Dishaw

I love how you draw the characters. I can't wait to see more.

Dr. Jam

Life is so good

Mari

we're so back. i wonder how the rest of the cast will act when they see him

Nelda

I’m so excited oh my god

Blaer

jax forgot to mention her strangling him as part of the list in how shes hurt him.

Butterbuns

I love how Jax has a need to like...both call her out for having attacked him, but also acknowledge it was his fault in the first place.

AbsoluteDream

Aww I'm so glad you're looking forward to it! I hope you enjoy it ^^

jabari jones

I’m gonna Assume that Caine gonna pop in to say time for the Spray Paint Adventure

Tiger Risk

Is Caine gonna appear?

Ms-Sharazar

Well, this is awkward 😬 also the headbutt was the sweetest thing I’ve seen all day 🥰

Butterbuns

At least he got brushed before dinner 8'D ...actually though it's fun, because like. He's been feeling like this a while, but now there's no point in trying to pretend he's "fine"

Ms-Sharazar

it BREAKS MY HEART😭😭😭

Ratz

Poor Jax, so much inner turmoil and pain :( I can't predict how he's going to act now

Nelda

I DIDNT DVEN NOTICE NOOOO

red

I really love how Pomni rubs Jax's palm.

red

The dining table looks different from usual. Is that Caine's design, or is it just a plot thing?

UnagiWolf

Never stop creating!!

XannaCannot

They're not finished yet

Dr. Jam

Uff hope today we get an update 💕

Yoyolink

I am so looking forward to it. You're adding a whole parallel character arc to Jax that still feels in character. That and Pomni being her best self :p They so need better times

Stefan Woad

I really like the idea of Gangle taking off the comedy mask when sitting down to eat. Such a cute detail.

AbsoluteDream

Thank you so much! They do indeed deserve some better times

AbsoluteDream

I'll be updating it every day or two until it's complete ^^

AbsoluteDream

We can say it's both. Caine decided it's better if they can face each other, and also it makes it easier to frame certain panels haha

AbsoluteDream

Luckily for them, it's still the same day as the "Truth or Dare" adventure they had, so Caine won't be interrupting them for now.

Mg0Mg0

Gangle is just like an angel.🥰

lyxlova

DOUBLE PANEL RELEASE 😭 I screeched

MentallyIncorrect

This feels so... real. You really have a great grasp on showing human emotion and struggles through these comics, if this makes sense? Great job, can't wait to see how this one ends.

Mari

another one? on the same day? we're eating good. jokes aside, thanks man for the amazing comic, take all the time you need to make it

Dabi Is Bae

Ouuu, I wonder what ragatha knows, she looks like she wants to say something 👀

Lapiztopolis

Wow this is so emotional~ and we are close to the premiere, I avoided spoilers so far but I still want to enjoy fan cómics like this~~ thanks!!

Evie Daniels

OOO ragatha knows what happened, she’s got that look on her face! Maybe she’ll tell them what he was like before, flashback maybe 🤔

IttaBaby's sanitized shithole

Surprising spike of potential Ribbun out of nowhere! Here's hoping for the full circus polycule I ship. :V

Ms-Sharazar

Ragatha’s face, I can’t imagine how guilt she especially feels not being able to help him 😣

Ellie

I got a Patreon just so I can read this. I absolutely love your comics. Your style is amazing and I adore how you portray Pomni's and Jax's relationship.

AbsoluteDream

Aww wow, thank you so much for your support and kind comments!

Butterbuns

Oh you're straight up spoiling us with these updates <3

Lu kii

why this lamppost, therefore this lamppost

Ms-Sharazar

She's not gonna make a pic of him, is she???🤣

princetfae

is that the playground that's on one of the glitch store shirts? :0

Nelda

HER LITTLE FACE AHHHH

Dr. Jam

Why am I sobbing Waaa

red

So persevering......Pomni

red

Jax just sat there with his hands on his knees like a well-behaved elementary school sudent.

red

By the way I think anyone sitting on a swing would look like a cute elementary school student, lol.

red

I think Jax chose this place partly because there are two seats, and partly because there is a certain distance between the two swings, which makes him feel safe. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, since Jax is in such a bad mood right now that he probably doesn't have the mental energy to think about things like that.

MTheWho

I love this so much, it’s beautiful! I especially really love how you portray Pomni and Jax and their relationship and keep them in character, I’m treating this as canon >:3 Hopefully Jax will get better from here <333🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 I can’t wait to see more of this, I love your TADC comics❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜💜💙💙💙💙💙

Razor_Bladez_7

Is she going to make what I think she is?👀

Dr. Jam

awww she is gonna paint him isn´t she? :,)

Sawyer

Hi there, I absolutely love your comics, especially this current 2 parter so far. I was wondering if in the future would you possibly do a comic where Ribbit comes back & her Jax & Pomni do something? Not sure if in that technical sense. But seeing a comic that focuses on those 3 characters has so much potential & I personally would love to see that. Especially since you’re very good at not only the artwork, but also telling a compelling story & it would mean a lot. 🥺🙏 thanks for reading & keep up the amazing work.

Ray Rauner

Fantastic work, I can’t wait for the next chapter in your lovely universe. I love how you’re tackling what comes after, which so many artists gloss over, or just ignore. As someone with a similar kind of depression as Jax(though I never hurt others like he did obviously, more of the mental side of things) your work has been…… comforting to say the least. I finally am starting to feel like I can move on, and actually try to piece myself back together, so I just wanted to leave a comment and say thank you. I know this probably seems a bit much, especially since this is about a fictional character lol, but healing can come from the most surprising of sources. Thank you, I hope you have a fabulous summer, and eat many tasty things.

ThePomniSuitJax

How many panels will make up one this comic?

Ms-Sharazar

He laughed! Yay! 🤭🤭🤭

Sunfi

Reading this on my way to see the finale. Thanks for all the hard work! You're an amaizing artist!

Kazoo

My son 😭😭💕

Spreggs

Awwww oh my god 🥺 this is so heart-wrenchingly sweet 😭

lyxlova

they said around 228 for this one

lyxlova

[NO SPOILERS] Just came back from watching ep 9 and new panels being posted made my day even better 😭😭

Raiya Sanora9867

I love the detail of expressing Jax emotions through his eyes.

Crystal Colden

I missed seeing Jax smile and Pomni did a good job with the spray paint.

Austin Lynch

How many pages is there gonna be in total?

Ellie

He laughed! 🥹

Sam Van Buren

Well. I saw the movie. I think I like this comic better.

Lapiztopolis

Thank You... I just came back from the theaters, so... Thank You for ❤️‍🩹

Dre-co-E

Thank you for this. Honestly, for possibly related reasons, I've been in a very dour mood the past few hours and this comic actully helped a lot.

AbsoluteDream

This means a lot to hear this, I'm so glad this could help even a little bit in making others feel better. Thank you so much for being here, and I also wish the absolute best for you!

swttbnny

Today is my bday tysmmmm hehehehe

AbsoluteDream

I've been waiting until the end of the series to finally brainstorm some ideas with Ribbit, so I will be doing comics involving her in the future in some way. ^^ Thank you so much for your kind words!

Nelda

GOD I love Pomni’s little grin. Also come on guys, talking vaguely about the finale doesn’t make it any better 😐 just don’t talk about it it’s not that hard. Especially in places you’ve been specifically asked not to.

MrMiguel211

Do you have plans to expand the story based on Episode 9? Or are you sticking with your story from the start?

Kakkarott24

The characterization is still on point idk how you do it ! Imo I consider this Canon 😭💙❤️

Kazoo

Oh, his face.. the way you're drawing his face, I can FEEL his jaw trembling omfg

AZ

Tmw these comics feel more complete and satisfying than the series it’s based on. After watching the finale yesterday, I can say with confidence that this is worthy of being part of the series proper. Moreso than the finale in my opinion. No Spoilers from me, just my honest opinion and observation. You have a gift in bringing out emotions, feelings and depth into the page than most modern animated films/serials do. It harkens back to when traditional storyboards weren’t just a background reference, but was the store entire. I’m reminded of old school Fletcher Brothers, HannaBarbara and Walt Disney cartoons back in the 30s-70s in how every frame, every line and every dialogue isn’t wasted fluff. You indeed have a unique gift to evoke such things from an old head like me. Keep it up my friend.

Ms-Sharazar

I LOVE the expression on them so much!!!! I wanna be at your level when it comes to comics SOOOO MUCH!!!!

Sawyer

Means a lot 🥺🙏 thank you again for the comics, I’m always looking forward to more from you. They are definitely gonna help since I am still kinda sad 😢

Ray Rauner

With every panel you add, it makes me marvel at how good you understand Jax’s character, more so than most other artists. The dialogue is splendid, and the art itself is wonderful.

AbsoluteDream

I'm very happy it could help lift your mood a bit ^^

AbsoluteDream

There's a chance I might try to do both, but I'm unsure just yet.

AbsoluteDream

I greatly appreciate your kind comments, thank you so much. I'm so glad people enjoy the writing I do and my take on the series. I do still love the original writing of TADC. It's what brought me here in the first place, haha.

Tiger Risk

Is there going to be a comic that takes place after Episode 7 next?

Bug Kirby

This is awesome I really like the story and focus on the story of jax🥰👍

AZ

Of course, we all have inspiration from something. But taking that inspiration and making it your own way is what drew us to you. Nothing against TADC, but I find your short stories and fun filled adventures very entertaining that are worth making into a actualised animated series. That’s just my opinion. Nevertheless, keep up the amazing work. To have such passion to make one comic after another after another consistently speaks volumes of your abilities.

pickle

This is so peak (as usual)

randaroo32

(No spoilers) man, reading this after watching the finale just adds so much more depth to the characters and to their relationship 😭🔥

Ms-Sharazar

Aww thats so nice, he appreciates it, i know it🤭

AbsoluteDream

I'm unsure where exactly my comics will go, but I'm probably going to do some more light-hearted ones first.

ikpjosh4848

I’ll pay u $1 a month for a WHILE, like 2 to 3 years even if u stop making comics. Love ur work

jabari jones

Is Jax regressing back to his “mask” cause it seemed he does want help he just doesn’t want to admit it ?

Butterbuns

Ouuuugh I love them so much

Nelda

PUNCHES THE WALL. SHES SO GODDAMN CUTE AND LITTLE

red

It cracks me up that Pomni's head is so huge, she can just lie down and read without a pillow.

Razor_Bladez_7

*squealing* Pomni's so cute and tiny ❤️✨️

Kazoo

Aww she should read to him ❤️

Stefan Woad

I have been so excited to check in on the updates to this one. Every next batch, even more my heart wants to burst.

A

I'm more of a silent reader, but I do just want to say that these updates really make my day & I always look forward to them. Thank you for feeding us & keep up the amazing work <3

jabari jones

Awww he got her breakfast 🥰

AbsoluteDream

Aw I greatly appreciate that, thank you so much!

Ms-Sharazar

That food looks really good 🥞

AbsoluteDream

He'll probably go back and forth a lot as he actively tries to fight these intrusive thoughts about trusting people.

Ray Rauner

This. This right here is perfect. Just, existing with each other. What a perfect way to help someone who would otherwise refuse help. Thank you.

Kazoo

I bet he'd be a secret fan of pride and prejudice 🤭

Sam Van Buren

He brought her a plate. We are so back.

Razor_Bladez_7

Aww he got her a plate too. That's so sweet!💖

red

Yo this time Jax chooses to sit right beside Pomni

red

I suddenly realize that when Jax woke up, he must have seen Pomni sleeping in a complete mess. I bet he would laughed out loud at that moment.

red

I can't believe this comic is coming to an end, too. Which means I'll have to get into a hibernation pod until your next update.

Mari

omg yesss new panel release. quick question, do have a problem with people suscribed to your patreon posting dubs of comics when you haven't finsihed posting all the panels? because earlier i saw a video on youtube of a (credited) dub of this unfinished comic

Canadian WildKat

As someone who has punched through a glass door in anger, the glass on/in the fist is generally less deep and painful in comparison to the glass that gets stuck in the wrist/arm. So you did a great job in showing that! I love your expressions on the characters. You do great work in portraying emotions/thoughts when there is no dialogue.

AbsoluteDream

Yes, I do have a problem with that. Can you let me know where I can find it?

Ryuunosuke

Hey. I've never subbed to anyone on Patreon before. I'd seen your comics dubbed on YouTube, and always enjoyed their unbelievably high quality. I'm especially hoping to see more of this story! (and I love your art style)

Nyla Smokeyface

This is such a treat so far!!! I love the detail that Gangle's mask didn't break, she chose to take it off

Mari

i saw it yesterday and saved it just i case i needed to find it again, but i think it's been deleted now because I can't find it on my watch later playlist or on my watch history. i dont remeber the name of the channel either

AbsoluteDream

Aww wow thank you so much for being here! I'm so glad you enjoy the comics ^^

Mg0Mg0

WTF Caine XD

princetfae

ough jax's expressions throughout the whole time theyre pinky-swearing are so good

AbsoluteDream

lol unfortunately. XD Hopefully I'll get the next comic going as soon as possible.

Cryptid Amygdala

I hope he tries! Once a pinky swear is made one must never disrespect the sanctity of the pinky swear! 😝

Ms-Sharazar

Awwww that is soo swee- - Oh God, Caine!😂

ThePomniSuitJax

How many panels will there be? I CANT UNDERSTAND

MrMiguel211

caine be like: *the deep walking into room gif*

Samantha Jay

Absolutely loved this one (I love all of them, but this one especially so). I hope at some point you continue on from this narrative point! Definitely want to see him actually coming to her for help in the future.

DuckDuckMoose

After seeing the final act, your comic brought me so much peace and relief that I didn’t realize I needed. Thank you 😭❤️

subaroons

I loved reading this so much ahhh 🥹❤️ Thanks so much for posting!!

jabari jones

And that’s the end of The Amazing Depressing Digital Circus Comic. Now onto The Final Act

Kazoo

How am I smiling so hard rn, this was a WILD ride, I think I felt every emotion?? AD, you killed it, thank you sm ❤️

Stefan Woad

Loved every moment of this one.

Roman Lettuce

"Today's adventure is...The Mystery of the Dancing Plague!" Caine. Caine 1518 is over. There were so many deaths Caine. Caine no 🥲 Congratulations on finishing another wonderful comic! I was obsessed the whole way through.

KatiesTopHat

This was such a nice comic to read (especially after episode 9 even if I overall liked how that episode wrapped things up. That episode was still a punch to the gut.) One thing I love about your comics is how you've expanded the show in your own way that feels very natural to what would happen in the actual show if it had more time to show what these characters get up to in their day to day lives in the circus. The show is great in its own right but I love seeing fanworks that push things even further due to their love for the source material.

Ray Rauner

Now that this comic is finished, or at least this chapter of it: I once again want to congratulate you. You’ve taken an established series, with already well written characters, and given them the means to be fleshed out in a way that I find almost identical to if the original author was writing it herself. Truly splendid work right here, and I can’t wait to see what you cook up for us next my dear. Until then, farewell, and remember: even when it seems bleak, when it seems like you are all alone, someone somewhere cares about you.

Ellie

I love these two so much

randaroo32

Great comic!! I really enjoyed it 🤩 I was dying at the part where Pomni asked Jax to promise 😂 it reminded me of that Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs scene that’s like: “Can you keep a secret?” “No 😐 . . . but— but this time: sure!”

Sawyer

Thank you so much for this comic!!! Will your next one be a continuation of this & the last one? I’ve been so invested so thank you 🥺 looking forward to the next one you do.

pickle

Delightful!!

Miguel Aguilar

This was extremely good!! You have such a good understanding of the characters, and your artstyle is such eye candy (esp pomni and her facial expressions haha) it's been my comforting wish fulfillment of if jax was just that *little bit* more receptive of pomni's friendship

Anju Hope

Hi! I just subscribed but I follow you on Tumblr. Thank you for sharing your art with us. Your comics warms my heart and right now all of them helps me to cope with the final episode. I love how you make the characters personality, they feel very canon.

Lapiztopolis

Thanks for this comic~~ it's a cure for the heart, and I'm glad You get the support of many people. Take your time, and stay healthy in mind and body. Lot's of love to you ❤️❤️❤️

AbsoluteDream

Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed the comic ^^

AbsoluteDream

Thank you so much for your support and the kind words! I greatly appreciate it!

AbsoluteDream

Yeah, I talked about it already. I hope it doesn't happen again. Thanks for letting me know

AbsoluteDream

Awww wow, thank you so much!! I greatly appreciate this

AbsoluteDream

Thank you so so much!! I'm really glad people seem to enjoy how I write the characters ^^

Ray Rauner

Btw, look up a fanfic called ‘waiting for open eyes’ it’s the only one I have found at the same tier, or better than your comic. However, only read it if you have seen episode 9. Hope you have a fabulous week and weekend.

AbsoluteDream

Thank you! I do plan to go a bit more linear with the story from here so we can see how Jax grows as a person

AbsoluteDream

Thank you! Yes I think my comics might be a bit more linear now so we see more character development haha

Sawyer

Nice 👍

Diamond

When episode 9 officially comes out, I hope you still continue making long length comics like this one! This is amazing! I can’t wait to see/read how you progress the relationship between Pomni and Jax. I got a Patreon just to read your comics! You are literally the best comic artist, you characterize the characters soooo well! Feels canon!

AbsoluteDream

Aww wow, you are so kind, thank you so much! I will be continuing after the final episode ^^

Brienna Vajko

This comic means so much to me I seriously wish I knew how to put it into words <3

RandomBrit

Easily the best fan comics around, fantastic stuff!
