"While You Were Dead"

This issue serves as a goodbye to our two most prominent deceased characters - the killer and the victim both. Two of my favorites to write (though not necessarily to draw; their designs are agonizingly complicated), and whose deaths both made huge splashes in the readerbase.

It still really charms me how popular Rainhaze ended up being, and I'm just glad everyone else liked him as much as I did. I got to explore a lot of interesting and complicated ideas within his character. Asphodelshine I sometimes wish I hadn't killed off, but only because it makes me miss her. Which I suppose is how I know I did a good job with it.

The title is taken from Cat Rambo's story "Tortoiseshell Cats Are Not Refundable": “He and Mindy would laugh about that together eventually. He wondered what that would be like, to be able to say, “While you were dead.”

Playing around with shape language with two different versions of Dustfeather. Also the dark clouds around Slugpelt are colorpicked directly from Rainhaze >:3

absolutely cannot get over these two, they are so Bojack and Beatrice coded

getting so excited for the finale of the comic!

In my memories the caterwauling seemed more like shrieks of joy, of gentle passing curled up next to a loved one.
