Two new pages. A lot of dialogue this time - hopefully not a tiresome amount. I prefer to adhere more to 'show, don't tell' as a storytelling method, but sometimes I suppose talk is necessary too.
This underwent -a lot- of revising. I'm not thrilled with it still, but there's a certain amount of catharsis involved in finally posting it. I look forward to working on the next few pages.
Characters Asa, Mordecai, Avril, Nico and Serafine (the Savoys)
As a side notes:
'nut zippers' may sound like a painful pants-related issue, but it actually refers to an old-fashioned type of candy.
Thanks to

for naming the character in Asa's terrible joke.
As usual, these pages won't make an iota of sense without the prior pages. You can find them in order in
the Archive
hillarious ^^
Love your cats by the way. So cute and expressive!
And funny thing, my mom found some of those "Squirrel Nut Zippers" the other day and brought them home for me to try. I like them a lot - you're missing out, Mordecai.
but... what is the hatchet joke?
