63 Cultured Ant

Xade on March 26, 2025

This page went through the most rewrites I ever had. At first I thought of having it gruffly acknowledge Zeep and roar off. Then I went for the silent treatment, then about 10 other ideas until I settled on this one and decided that Zeep can understand it. I had the bright idea of having the brown ant speak in a cultured, high brow tone and it struck me as so funny that I had to do it. It would be completely unexpected. I hope I got some LOLs or raised brows out of some of you. I'll be happy with a “huh?” Anyhow, I'm returning to Wednesdays as my update day.

Plus i think I'm switching to the round balloons. They take up more space it's true but the text seems to look cleaner with it. With the new balloon tails plugin I found that I simply love, I think it's the best way to show them off.

I hope the font isn't hard to read for younger readers, I can easily switch it out for a less cursive script. In the mean time I am adding a transcript just in case.
