Week 172! (Patreon)

Holy crap it's finally done. Comic 400 with 17 drawn panels, all to finally bring Arc 16 to a close.

I don't think I even really have much to say about the comic itself. It's purely to end this story arc that we've been stuck in for years by having Lucy say what's going to happen next and leave, with Fale making more threats about not trusting Lucy. I actually kind of feel it's lackluster/mundane all things considered, especially for a milestone comic, considering past ones have had Kale and Campy kissing and Lucy saving Fale from Hugo, but maybe just finally being free of the absolute longest story arc FH has ever had, both in page count (61 total pages) and in time spent in it thanks to the hiatus, will be enough of a breath of relief to make it feel more important.

As for why this comic took two months to complete for some reason, I've been having jaw/face pain for about two months at this point, and I've been getting really distracted/taken over by that (and a dentist and an oral surgeon not giving me any answers except 'go to this other doctor next'), as well as just a bunch of other things getting in the way as well. I'm really sorry that this took so long to get up, but it's finally up and hopefully we can get back on track for 2018 (and I'm not just saying that and intending to go on a longass hiatus like I did for 2014 or whenever).

Also I don't really know what I'm going to do for the four other updates for this month, as I didn't have time to do another comic or any sketches or anything in addition to comic 400, obviously. Some scripts will be written but I might have to do the ancient technique of just making paid update markers with minimal things in them for just this month, sorry in advance.

As for comic 401 and onward, that SHOULD come out January 9th with updates coming out every two weeks as per normal. It'll be nice to draw characters that aren't Kale, Lucy, or Fale for a while.
