"Felix, it's been a long day. We almost died. Can I get some sleep?"

"Shut up. I'm trying to flirt here."

EDIT: I should probably explain why I decided to change this page after the fact. At the time I drew it I was getting a bit frustrated with the pace of the comic. I went through and haphazardly started compressing some bits and pieces and just kinda left it as is. When the time came to letter it I wasn't too happy with what I had but it seemed to work well enough. 

But after posting, it kept nagging at me so much that I had to go back in and tweak it a bit. The original I feel was a bit too out of character, especially for Felix, and the flow from previous pages was kinda thrown off. (Felix being excited at the chance to share his hobby vs. just forcing Mack to come play with him) I've tweaked what I had the best I could to make it flow a lot more naturally while still keeping the spirit of it without having to redraw the whole page. Throwing a bunch more word balloons onto a page isn't the most elegant solution but I feel like it's a better page than the previous. I hope everybody agrees.

Sorry for the weirdness. I should've waited til I had a page I was actually happy with. And don't worry I definitely won't be making a habit out of this. I'll leave the original up just for posterity.

Lean on me if you have to. Very Smooth. You did a great job Ari.

I've told you before but I really, really like this comic. I upset a nest of yellowjackets earlier today and am now nursing ten stings so this update had perfect timing.

This is the gay shit we need in these times. I sense a kiss in the future 👀

Gaél

They are so cute!

Pravvus

Yes yes. This is the unbearably cute shit I needed. Felix is so relatable

Mack's flustered face is absolutely amazing. Felix is either suave as fuck or unintentionally suave as fuck lol (I'm sure the face is due to having to balance/hold himself up out of water. But my head cannon has taken over lol)

No weirdness, just coolness

Kit

Either way works. I like this one because it feels like we're getting closer to the payoff--but I also like slow burn, too...

Wait, I thought Felix was lying on his back in the lake playing, back in the day when he fixed up the old guitar? Or was he just singing while holding a guitar?

I love both versions although the edit does flow a bit better. It’s so cool to see your process.

Ari

Mostly singing while haphazardly hitting strings.

:-D <3

I really, really enjoy this edit... They seem closer, Felix feels more eager and considerate. I think the addition of the third panel was a great choice, definitely seems to flow better... So looking forward to the next page! 😍

Those quiver lines around Mack’s arms, though…. 😃 Either version works, but I definitely see why the edit is more in Felix’s character. Beautiful page, regardless.
