Strip 119: The Keepers of the Keepers

TheFullestCircle on Feb. 7, 2022

Guys check out how good I am at freehanding circles

This is possibly the most effort I've ever put into a TBGPPC strip. I:
- looked through my shuffled Fluxx deck for Peace and Chocolate (actually all of the keepers, so that I have easy access to them when I need them; Dreams was still in the box, that was annoying)
- manually drew the circle in Photopea (free online version of Photoshop, I also use it to make the comic itself), printed it out, and drew the symbols
- did the general photo-taking (slightly trickier because 1 and 100 had to be held up and Tetra kept falling over in panel 3)
- edited the second and third panel, not because my phone's white balance was off, but because I didn't like how yellow the bulb in my room made the panel look
- edited the fourth panel to match the other two because the white balance was off
- edited a bit of the thing holding up 100 that you could see in one of the photos (I bet you can't figure out where the edit was)
- resized text in order to fit more of it in for the first time since Strip 2
Yeah, that was a lot. All worth it for the lore dump. (Complete list of Keepers, but not their abilities yet, on the Discord)

Relevant trope: Arc Symbol (there should be a Circle of Symbols trope)

Come to our Discord and scroll to the first message to see where I posted a picture of the Keeper Wheel and talked about it being mysterious foreshadowing! This strip is probably a good payoff for the two people that saw that!
