So, Do You Come Here Often? #365 Finale A full year's worth of issues later and here we are. The finale. Thank you for coming along with me. Whether from the beginning or somewhere along the way, it mean's a lot. A cat and a fish reunite after a long traveled journey. So... Do you come here often?

So, Do You Come Here Often? #364 Prototype Issue No. 5 Ah the joys of sharing verbal information. This here is actually the first comic to ever be put to paper for the series. I knew I could do this when this went swimmingly. When I made this, I was still waiting on supplies and making sure that it would all look right in the spiral bound books of paper I ordered for this year long project. So, the first two prototypes were the field tests I did to make sure I could make this idea work. While they're inanimate and can never know my gratitude, I owe my peace of mind to my lovely nonsense drawing journal I kept for 5+ years because otherwise I would've never known where to draw these tests. That's the last prototype issue. I hope the peek behind the curtains was fun. I'll see you tomorrow for when this all comes to an end. o7

So, Do You Come Here Often? #363 Prototype Issue No. 4 I could probably count a fistful of times when I had an idea and didn't commit it to note, only to then come back to drawing and not have any material. Good times. So while the last few unreleased ideas in my notes will likely never see the light of day, that's okay. I can still come up with cooky goofy premises and have for nearly 365 issues. Two more to go!

So, Do You Come Here Often? #362 Prototype Issue No. 3 Anyone else defile their poor Transformers action figures with permanent marker as a wee little child? Always feel bad when I take them out for a nice pose these days. Anyways, this is a long overdue transformer idea because I have a fair shake of good friends who love the series and figures. It's funny that I never had a good idea for a comic with them UNTIL today when I'm working on the prototype issues haha. I suppose that's why it's here and not one of the 360 other more normal comics.

So, Do You Come Here Often? #361 Prototype Issue No. 2 This is actually a scrapped series idea I started all the way back in Issue 11. It was axed as a product of nerves and not having discovered the fun of Timmy John Helldiver. The idea was to set a character loose in a megastructure and have them come across a laptop with old era internet access preserved on it. Then gradually introduce a character that speaks through the laptop. Since this was so early on in the comic's life, I didn't know where I wanted to take mini-series style ideas and if I even wanted them. Thus it sat in my big list of comic ideas and is now seeing the light of day here.

So, Do You Come Here Often? #360 Prototype Issue No.1 Welcome to a sneak peek behind early ideations and gags that were left on the chopping block. We're in the home stretch after all. Just five issues, not including this one. Saturday it all comes to a close. It's been a long time since I've seen this comic. It was done just a few days before the first issue went up. I can't lie and say it's not startling seeing the dramatic shift in the way I draw Beings and their companions. I've also gotten slightly better at drawing hands, haha! This issue was touched up with better lineart, the addition of a background, and the addition of "Boof!" from our puppor. Finish line is almost here.

So, Do You Come Here Often? #359 Ah the start of a budding relationship... I think...

So, Do You Come Here Often? #358 Today's issue brought to you by a dumb joke, the lack of hair on a majority of Beings, and my longing gaze towards the open Blender file on my desktop.

So, Do You Come Here Often? #357 That dreadful moment where you flub a line and spend the next half hour cursing yourself in mental flashbacks.

So, Do You Come Here Often? #356 Ah the temptation of procrastination. ... Good thing I beat it today... ... ... Anyways here I go procrastinating again!

So, Do You Come Here Often? #355 Wassup Dawg? zzzzz

So, Do You Come Here Often? #354 Must... soldier... through... warmness...

So, Do You Come Here Often? #353 Maybe antagonizing the public performer with regular appearances on stage WASN'T this Being's greatest life achievement.

So, Do You Come Here Often? #352 I think of all issue ideas I've had, this one seems the most like I've already done... Wait. Does that mean my memory's going too?? I am growing old!!!

So, Do You Come Here Often? #351 Routinely comfy.

So, Do You Come Here Often? #350 Hey at least the Being's socks aren't wet, right? Right? Oh no...

So, Do You Come Here Often? #349 What came first? The bird or the industrialization of silicon into panels for generating electricity? ... Damn that proverb really doesn't roll off the tongue.
