Is Jemini letting her rogue duplicate off the hook too easily, or does she have something else on her minds? We’ll find out more on Tuesday.
In other news, the production and possible crowdfunding for the next and final book collection of the webcomic, Scapula: Memento Mori, has been postponed. Due to the hectic schedule of running a Kickstarter campaign (along with, I’m sorry to say, dropping book sales in general), I’ve decided to set aside the book for now and see if there will be a more opportune time in the upcoming year. A digital release via Comixology may actually come sooner, but we’ll get to that when the time comes.
If you are indeed interested in the next book please leave your thoughts and input in the Comments section below; I enjoy hearing every reader’s feedback as it gives me a clearer idea of what you would like to see (let’s face it, these books are for YOU)!
That’s always awkward. I mean, finding out you have even MORE enemies than you thought you did? Yikes. Still, nice to see even Jemini has a shred of a soul somewhere. Or is that just egoism taking up all that space? Hard to tell.
Oh, meant to add: panels 2-5? That arrangement of her various heads is awesome!
The impact of that dialogue just wouldn’t be as effective as it is without that unique visual effect, I think. It really gives the impression there’s something deeper going on than just an argument of whether or not someone should die.
Glad to hear people are enjoying this. I often spend too much time worrying that new readers wont understand what’s going on (like, why are there so many women with two heads and they all look alike?), but it’s very reassuring to know the longtime familiars get what I’m going for.
Holy shinola, was this well written.
Hey! Watch that potty-mouth!…oh, wait, you didn’t cuss.
Further proof that I don’t know shit from shinola.
So, I’ve been hashing out my finances, and I hate to say that right now……. just not in a position to throw anything at the book. Might have to move in the near future and I’m straddling the poverty line (at best) as it is. HOWEVER, should this project remain on the menu, I will absolutely support it as soon as I can and it returns to the to do list!
No worries. Comic book creators and fans seem to be frugal with their pennies (if we were all rich we’d be in another field…like gaming).
“The first rule of any mexican standoff situation: be ready to die, because you’re apt to. Second rule, identify the most important person in the room who has the most ties to everyone and aim at them….. barring that, aim at the person with the most enemies who will be grateful for their death and back you up in the ensuing chaos…… barring that, aim for anyone wielding a shotgun first, automatic weapon second, and handgun or melee weapon least preferentially. Third: Keep as many targets as possible in visual range. Fourth, keep all exits and cover available to you…. don’t block any off if you can avoid doing so unless obeying any of the previous rules. Fifth, never let anyone get behind you or directly beside you; maintain triangular spread at the very least. Sixth, if anyone brings out an explosive device of any kind, exit quickly.
Most important: avoid any kind of neutral hostile situation where possible, and if forced into such an event maintain a cool and calm demeanor and attempt to remain threatening only in a defensive manner. Do not attempt to appear more aggressive than the other side unless there is only one member of the other side or there is only one consequential member (such as a gang boss flanked by flunkies).”
Some notes from Mom’s collection. Of course, the primary rule stands: don’t ever get involved in a gunfight!
I’m really curious how often she broke her own rules.
Amazing. I’ve missed these in-depth rundowns of surviving hostile situations, and even if my defense strategy will always consist of running like hell whooping like Curly Howard I still appreciate learning more from the matriarchal master of melee!
