The words of Kabutroid
Top level players.

Oh. My goodness wow. So, this has been a month. Yah, so the homeowner needed to sell the property, told everyone to GTFO, we got out pretty quickly to be safe rather than wait till the last minute, there was several weeks of bantering between the homeowner, the property manager, the local council, and the tenants, the eviction paperwork wasn't filled out right, then in May the laws here changed so no-fault evictions are no longer allowed, the homeowner sold it to himself, in an odd sort of way (just to avoid a lot of details), we have a new property manager (for other details), everyone is allowed to stay there thanks to the new laws, so we dragged all our stuff back, exact same room, exact same everything, it's just cleaner now, and we're more organized in there as a bonus. So yah, we forked away a pile of money on several van rental costs, but in the end, everything is the exact same lol. It was basically akin to a hotel stay, aaaand I got a bookshelf that was sitting beside a dumpster out of the deal. So silver linings, more organized, cleaner, got rid of a few bags of old clothes we didn't want any more (charity shopped), and I got a bookshelf, so all of my D&D books can go there now. Nice.
Whew, so with all of that chaos out of the way, we can get back to normal. I'll post art updates with the regular comic, which I can work on a lot easier now that I have an end table beside me again lol.
!!Right, the three signs!! We have two of the signs already, and by signs, I mean somewhat unnecessary spending for fun, on something of not insignificant cost, also the purchasings of which led me to think that I may be ready to leave survival mode.
Sign 1: Purchasing of the peridot dice set
Sign 2: Purchasing of the should she open it or should she keep it sealed item
Sign 3: Unknown, possibly as uninteresting as upgrading my phone, since a lot of apps are just kinda... stopping working properly at this point.
Aaaaand we wait for that. I'm hopeful, I had said in Real Zebeth 82 that I've been in survival mode since 2015, so... it's honestly scary. It's scary to think that I might not be curled up in a ball defending myself soon. That I might be able to stop saying that I'm reusing floss soon. That bean soup gruel is done soon (who am I kidding, I've come to love bean soup lol CHEAP NUTRIENT FOOD WOOH, I could be a millionaire and I'll still be eating bean soup, Abby maybe not lol). That I might be able to not stress so hard when taking out my debit card. That might happen soon. And it's legitimately scary. I'm not sure how to handle that. So we'll wait for sign 3 before I cross that bridge. If life should be so kind as to offer me that sign, expect another comic for it. December 28, 2015... it would be nice to have an end date to that span of time.

Edit: Travis, the dragon of sand is complete too!

Ok, I'm going to preface that I apologise that this comic took this long, I am... quite depressed these days, see the latest Real Zebeth comic. And that's at the end of a pile of other stressors, so it's just been... nonstop. Right now I'm happy enough that we even have shelter. But... as I've said... annoyingly lots, this is temporary. Though my dreams of leaving survival mode certainly ain't happening this year, so let's bump that estimate up to 2027 now. But ok, enough of the depressing stuff, I've got that off my chest, let's move along here. Art!
Since last comic, have finished the staff Bruce!
We have moar dice, INCLUDING, an incredibly rare set, see bottom update!
I trimmed up my Medicine bag, figured I'd put that into here since there's a page on it already.
We have created moar dragons! A rust dragon named Gertrude, and Helix, the dragon of warmth :D . Yellow dragon next, let's get all the primary colours in.
On a related note, we've got a few more dragon extras pics!
More Kabucam pics, as usual.
More Housefly chronicles, as usual lol
And dice... we have obtained... a true white whale set!!!!!, thanks to my by blind chance happening to have had that d30! Chessex Rainbow Peridot, the full poly set AND (apparently) extremely rare d30. And I made an epic frame for them ^_^
Dice forever held in midair unable to roll: "Aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!"
And that's pretty awesome. So, while general art has slowed down significantly for the past... ugh, like 6 months? 9? I'm not gonna lie, the rest of 2026 will probably be like this, we live inside a shoebox, our walking path is one foot wide, and our rent is higher for this as an extra kick. It's.... gonna be a rough year. But, I'm not homeless, so there's that. Wish I could say better. Stay creative everyone, go step in the sunlight and sit on a warm rock when you can, and lay in the grass when possible ^_^
