This is part 1! Part 2 will be linked in 2 weeks. We’re ending on an awkward bit, I didn’t have the page limit in mind when I made this chapter!

Last chapter / first chapter / next chapter (to be added)

Sam is turning 27! Prepare for tooth rotting fluff. You can see the exact moment I learned how to draw fluffy hair from @monstarmews in this one, helloooo page 6

Comic under the cut:

This is part 2. You can find part 1 here.

I stopped drawing my pages traditionally after this chapter and started drawing them in procreate. Also turned my handwriting for Sam, Matcha and some other characters into fonts so it should be easier to read. Thank you for your patience!

Comic under the cut:

Takes place a week after Ch. 5 “Picnic”. You can read that here.

This chapter has 45 pages, this is part 1. You can read part 2 here.

The songs featured are both by Jay Som. “Everybody works” and “(Bedhead)”.

⚠️ OLD ART! I made this in February 2025. Was shrinking the way too big heads AND gave Sam new facial features in some of these. It was rough.

⚠️ my handwriting was really bad in these, I’m sorry. If it’s too hard to read I’ll provide the script. On especially rough pages I added digital text. NEXT CHAPTER ONWARDS WILL BE DIGITAL ART AND FEATURE TYPED TEXT!

⚠️ editing this was painful, I’m pretty embarassed about my script here, and wouldn’t write especially Sam like this nowadays. I also cut out 2 pages because they were superfluous. However, it’s part of my journey as an artist and storyteller. Can’t improve what you never create!

Wanted to fully render it but I’m running out of time, we’ll see how far I’ll get tomorrow!

Edit: okay it came to my attention that the image could be seen as suggestive so I’ll put it under a read more 😭

Samtober day 4: alternate universe. Please zoom in for delicious texture!

Tea shop AU! Prefacing this with the statement that you should NEVER flirt with employees on the clock (or catch them after and before they start a shift). It’s ok here, because Matcha is very much into him.

He was there the first time because Jodi made him buy a bday present for Caroline, met a certain aqua haired worker, and is now yapping her ear off many days when things are slow.

Things are always slow.

This tea shop isnt popular and her boss is an unpleasant person.

Got inspired by @astal-art who’s stuff I’ve adored for some months now, I love it so much!
