When we started digging in to the planning of the second chapter, one of the bigger things Joan pushed me on was to condense down the writing - that there were far too many pages with way too much dialogue. Which was certainly true. So while we do have a few pages where there's a lot of back and forth, we now also get these pages, which only serve to highlight Joan's beautiful work.
Anyway, it seems like there's something going on here and it's not an orgy! Or at least that's happening back near the conclave, one would assume. You don't really want to know. I don't really want to know.
PATREON: Our continued thanks to all our supporters who help make sure we can keep these comics coming! If you're not a patron, have you considered pitching in just $1 a month to help? You'd get to see a lot of Joan's sketches and get other behind-the-scenes good stuff!
