#patron flush

"Sexiest Cheese"

The next book is probably going to be another Scalzi as well.

There are a few patrons in this strip! Two of them want to be mentioned.

Ronda Topp Orda-Bottom asking me about books. They're a burlesque dancer with an Instagram that you should follow.

Attorney Khan-Avila sitting to my left. They are an amazing immigration lawyer with an Instagram that you should be following.

Finishing this strip just reminded me that I have to go get a test tomorrow.

Here are the ones with links to mention!

There's Ronda Topp Orda-Bottom. An awesome burlesque performer with an Instagram that you should be following.

"The Rocky Effect"

There's a lot of things that I really enjoy about this strip.

I wanted to make a comic about the recent book that I read, but I wanted to avoid any potential spoilers of the impending Ryan Gosling film (March 2026).

I enjoy the idea of a moose leading to a joke about a Rocky. Ya' know....like Rocky and Bullwinkle.

These two characters are patrons of mine. The one with a link to be shared is Kat d, an awesome gamer with an Instagram that you should be following.

I've been itching to draw Kat d in their Leslie Vernon costume for a while. This strip seemed like the best time to do it.

"Quest To Help"

There are quite a few things to mention in this strip.

No matter what the results of the election was going to be, today was going to have the characters in the tavern. I wanted it to be a nod to the first Demagogues & Democracy strip, "Too Many Quests". It was either going to be a celebration of finally defeating the Drumph Fish, or realizing that all of those quests are back.

As for the Quest Giver, I think that I'm going to reuse this concept in some way. It's still in the idea stage, but I think that there's a potential way that I can have folks donate to charities and organizations and decide the next plot of the dnd strips. Maybe. Like a choose their adventure thing. It's an idea that still needs to ripen.

I also took this opportunity to draw some patreon cameos and there are three that request mentioning.

There's Kat d. An awesome gamer with an Instagram that you should be following.

Then there's Michael Maxwell, @jackofallnerdsshow. They have a fantastic YouTube channel that you should subscribe to.

And finally, there's Tony Troxell of Troxell's Trading Post. They have an etsy page filled with amazing items.
