I have returned! And a day early!! :O
I found the time to actually write the script for this page and roughly the next 5ish pages as well during my down time in the last two weeks. Since I had one of the more time consuming parts of making the page done, this page was finished quicker than I had expected. Well that and this page only had 6 panels so it flew by pretty quickly. Instead of waiting for tomorrow I decided to just go on and post it.
Sorry for teasing a character introduction on the last panel from the previous page. Waiting three weeks for a proper character intro ain’t terrible, but not exactly the best either ^^;
Also, HOLY CRAP! It only took 124 pages to finally show off the character talked about ON PAGE ONE >.< For a character whose name changed multiple times during development, his actual character design didn't change too- okay so it changed a good bit too. But Coy's hat and missing tail were decided upon fairly early on. Yes, I'm straight up mentioning that he has a bobbed tail just in case someone is wondering why it's not there. "Did you forget to draw his tail?!?!" No, although that wouldn't be the first time that has happened in this comic. I very deliberately have the back shot in the fourth panel to help clarify. More fun "behind the idea" stuff. Coy was originally written to be a little older. Not by much, but Coy would have been a little younger than what Dayton is in the comic, basically a young teen. At this stage in the writing Dayton was still gonna be a young adult (somewhere in the 20s) and Janice was actually gonna be his younger sibling. When I made Dayton closer to my age when I started the comic because I thought it might help me with writing his character, I also pushed Coy back a few years to keep the age gap between him and Dayton. So instead of a young adult and young teen, it became an older teen and a young kid. That doesn't really benefit you as the reader of MitM, but now you know 😛 JUMP to page >> Page 125
