I'm putting together a crossover project for next year to run through multiple comics and hopefully benefit the Hero Initiative. If you want to participate, e-mail me at karamesser@hotmail.com or PQ me on this site.
I've also started an IndieGoGo campaign to help me pay for artists for my projects. Please go to the campaign site and donate some money. I would appreciate it if you could give money. There are some fun perks involved. The site is here: http://igg.me/p/213480?a=408482
Top page: So things are starting to add up to people, I would assume. I finally named two of the characters, too! Also, I was trying to show his hand indenting the fabric of the couch in panel 1, but it looks odd, I know. Panel 2, that's supposed to be a puff of dry skin, but my poor drawing skills are not able to depict it well. And yay, puking. I don't generally want to show such stuff, but I did here, though I realize I could have had the same effect with an angle that didn't show it really. Oh well, what's drawn is drawn.
Bottom page: I would have had the name of the coffee place be a parody of Starbucks, but I didn't want to do that this time. Still, that is definitely a large building for a coffee shop. One could assume they have a lot of customers, then.
Fractal mentions somebody in the sky because he sees Tempore up there. He's used to spotting flying people, considering how many superheroes exist on his world.
Also, I wanted to mention: I deliberately played with panel design again. It just seemed like a fun thing to do, and it makes for an interesting image. Plus, Eiderdown actually points at the coffee mug marquee because of it, which emphasizes she wants the coffee itself, not caring so much who's selling it. And she speaks Spanish at the end to alert anybody that uses her in a cameo that she does speak Spanish. I'll try to have her use it more often, and Lao, because it really is a part of her character and I always forget to have her speak it.

No harm, no foul. It's not like what Adult Swim did, which was air the Airport '07 episode of Family Guy. At 11:30pm. While it was still September 11th in all US time zones. Oops. It makes several 9/11 references, including the president in an elementary school getting a call, and the number of passengers who died in on Flight 93 (37).

A couple further notes for this page: It's a part of the 2012 Halloween Cameo Caper (http://halloween2012.dragoneers.com) and also, I should recognize that this page goes live on September 11th, which is a day nobody should forget. I was in my senior year of high school that day, and can still remember it quite vividly. It was a huge point in American history and, no matter your politics, you should always remember the victims and those who risked or gave their lives to save the people trapped in the towers. No matter what, it was a senseless tragedy. I feel guilty putting up a page where one of the last things mentioned is about the size of a building, but sometimes things work in weird ways (since I even drew this not realizing it would go live on the 11th).
