What’s this??? Two updates in a row that fall on Sunday?! (not counting the one missed week between…)

So awhile back I seriously considered changing the update day for MitM, but I could never really decide on another day. Thursday updates date back to Junior year in college for me, since that was the day my work load was lightest, but there really hasn’t been a particular reason to stick with that day since then. I’m not officially saying I’m switching to weekend updates, but if this pattern keeps up, I’ll definitely consider it :\

By the way, there is waaaaaaaaaay too many characters on this page >.< They add up to 38 total!
Needless to say, the sheer number of characters (especially the small ones) took a little extra time. I really tried experimenting with some different inking practices to help the tiny, distant characters pop more and become more distinguishable (emphasis on “tried”). Mixed feelings about the inking job aside, I’m actually quite happy with the single shot of Coy :3

I also tried something else with this page. I attempted to give some “background world exposition” as just that, a “background” conversation. I needed to show the bandits get around and up on the roof, but they didn’t necessarily have any interesting dialogue. With Coy and the coyotes, I needed to at least roughly explain why Coy was catching their attention. Originally the page wasn’t going to have this much background details, but because I decided to the actions with a separate conversation, I had more panels and time to have the coyotes talk more.

And just for fun, this page’s “thumbnail teaser” is actually cannon material! If you follow MitM on Twitter or Facebook, you might have noticed I use an altered thumbnail teaser for the link to each page. Normally it’s just a reworded speech bubble that makes a joke at the expense of MitM or breaks the fourth-wall, but this time is different! I patched in what I was going to originally use for the Bandit dialogue, so you can see what they are actually saying to one another. I still hope the page makes sense without this additional material, but it was fun to add for clarification.

Since it’s actually useful for understanding the page, I’ll include it here as well…
