Week 74! (Patreon)

Here's something that hasn't come up in the slightest: Connor plays the violin. This was only mentioned in his RGC bio on his introduction comic (where he has absurdly long legs because I always seemed to do that with vertically-long panels) and hasn't been mentioned or seen in the comic at all.

Now, Connor does have another "hobby" of sorts, which is jogging/running, and this is actually more relevant to his character thus far since an old thing I wrote had Campy and Connor canonically meeting each other for the first time when Campy was returning home from an arcade and accidentally collided into a jogging Connor. So why did I pick him playing the violin over that? Well, for one, little easier to show off him playing a violin with a bust shot than jogging. But the bigger main reason is that... well, not only is it worth showing off now in some fashion, to remember and to implement later in the comic (if/when there's time), but it also can demonstrate the same sort of thing I talked about in earlier Weekly Updates, where I like having characters be more than they are on-panel in the comic. In the previous examples it was having social relationships with other people off-panel, but here it's having interests and activities off-panel. It helps them and the world to feel more "real" if there's more going on than what you see when the metaphorical camera is rolling. So Connor does in fact play a violin, even though you've never seen it yet.
