The origin of the Ace of Hearts, page 3. (Patreon)

Like I said, simplified and condensed, but all the main details are here.

It's weird being a writer, sometimes. This guy basically wandered into my head via a semi-daydream - and stayed. I had no plans to spend any drawing time on him, and now he's approaching 50 pages. I could Kickstart a book of his shenanigans. Probably should?

That's the Muse for you. You don't get to tell her what she may or may not serve you. Not that I'm complaining. I like Ace's generally upbeat attitude. If someone is going to hang around in your head, it definitely helps if they are pleasant company.
