0074 — pt. 5, Meeting Antonyne (Patreon)

Outtakes post separately at noon in In-Universe and Author's Tiers!

I've included all the Antonyne Cheops Smuckles (aka Rustmouth Chafings) backstory strips in this update, so that you might enjoy a refresher in his curious history.

In even briefer summary: Antonyne was once the bluest of the bluesmen — bad luck all the way. But then a mutilated "singer" named Silent Bird Wallace came on the scene, and Antonyne's workhorse bad luck slowly transformed into good luck. So good that he lived to a healthy and ripe old age, with the police naming streets after him. The kind of stuff that would turn any proper bluesman's stomach.

Now it seems that the curse of good luck has fully bloomed in his grandson. Join us next week, as we explore the nature of luck, and whether one can truly manipulate the fates.
