Week 198! (Patreon)

And just one script for you this month, this one being for the first page of the next arc featuring Campy and Connor, page 419.

I didn't have much time or ability to get the comic pages for this month done on time, so I especially didn't have much time or ability to get the next arc more planned out at all, but at the very least I can get this beginning bit out of the way onto... well, not paper, but you know. 

I want the beginning of the next arc to specifically mimic the opening of this current arc going on with Bruce, so thus, this page is a mirror of the first page where Bruce woke up, except instead of a nice funny joke relating to Bruce's mindscape and shadow-id-thing in the Kale mind-exploring arc, it's a quiet and emotional moment relating to Campy's whole weird business involving his "dreams" and "writing" that we've seen him do in the morning before. Kind of setting the mood in both instances, where Bruce's day is mostly comedic and light-hearted, Campy's is set to be more serious and heavy.

I suppose I'll also reveal here that I plan on making Campy's arc take place on the same day as this current Bruce arc, meaning Campy waking up in this page takes place chronologically around the same time Bruce woke up and wrote in his dream diary. Not only does this help relieve the whole time crunch business that Kale and his gang kind of have concerning their whole drama, but I thought it'd be more interesting to set an arc to be happening concurrently with an arc that already fully played out. This is kind of blunt spoilers for you guys, but for the public I want it to kind of gradually and subtly reveal itself, like an "oh! it's the same day as before" kind of thing, where characters like Ashley or Eve or Gus or whoever can pop in before or after they talked to Bruce, wearing the same things and having been affected (or about to be affected) by the "earlier" events in the comic. Bit of an interesting challenge for me, hopefully it'll be interesting.
