Splash page! Even more so because the entire neighborhood is covered with water!

Huh, drawing only a single panel is a real time-saver.

More reveals coming up in the next couple of pages.

Matt’s life update: I’m leaving Brownie the Chihuahua in Oakland on Monday at which point I’ll be homeless again, but still doing drop-in visits for two animals in Alameda for a couple days. Then an 8-hour drive down to SoCal with a stop in Anaheim to pick up my mail–particularly my car registration–then I’ll be stationary for almost a whole week back in Laguna Niguel.

I think the bouncing around is starting to affect my mental health. Why else would I decide to start a 4th comic? I have a weekly group that I game with online, and for a long while our game du jour has been Star Trek using the Savage Worlds system. I convinced our GM that it was time to go back to being a DM and run a D&D game again (5.5 E). Specifically, and peculiarly, a dwarf-only campaign centered on the dwarfs of Clan Thunderforge (which was the name of a gaming club I was a part of back on Oahu during the Living Greyhawk days–and which is also the name of a metal band). And I decided that I would document the adventures in Manga format so I could publish it in paperback form.

Working title is The Dwarfs of Thunderforge. Unless I come up with something extra-Manga-y.

So, that’s something to look forward to.
