Week 256! (Patreon)

THIS MARKS PAYMENT FOR THE WEEK OF 6/30-7/6.

Alright, here we are, page 423 completed.

I'll say I'm pretty thankful I don't have to draw this kitchen anymore. It's not exactly populated with that many 'things', and obviously having 3D room mock-ups helps a ton with any sort of complicated camera angles, but being stuck in this one location (or any one location generally), it was starting to become more difficult figuring out new camera angles that didn't repeat previous pages' too much (panel 4 of this page comes close but eh). Also that damn cereal box, if I had known I would inevitably end up shoving that thing right in the foreground a bunch of times, I would've drawn a custom version for all these pages and the future, but oh well.

Leaving this kitchen in the next page also means saying goodbye to Peter, who, again, I think ended up being an alright addition to the beginning of this arc despite his role being pretty much a near-exact repeat of his previous appearance. Still, I think it was important for Campy to get this advice, so that for most of the rest of the story arc, he's the 'calmer' one taking things more in stride compared to Connor. Also just generally a lighter intro to this heavier arc.

Also there's nothing much really behind the Fifty Shades of Grey reference that Peter makes in reference to his own youth, I just thought it'd be a cute and unexpected quick joke to slip in there in the middle of the comic when I wrote it. It might be kind of dated at this point but I should think it still evokes the proper imagery generally.
