Feast your eyes upon this Bio-Fey-Steampunk story with inherent elements of the Gothic Genre drawn in a Theater Noir style about life, death, dreams, reality, and why you don't associate with Undead Cabbages.
This comic contains violence, gore, nudity, and controversial topics such as drugs, sex, religion, and the aerodynamics of a human kidney. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

BAMN!
SALLY!
HI!!
You know, writing really is the practice of applied psychology. I'm intrigued that in the comments we've been receiving (which are awesome by the way, keep 'em coming), the recurrence of 'that guy with an umbrella' was noted (at least the second time he came up, did you notice the third?), but nobody brought up that for this entire chapter, Sally has been absent.
That's not a "OMG you guyz R SoO STOOPID", that's a "hhhmmmm, what made Sally easy to forget in that chapter?"
Any who.
On top of this, I've added a few goodies over in the gallery section (Fan Art mostly). Enjoy!
Three Blind Mice...

Holy end of dream sequence, batman!
Huh. Funny. I've read Yu+Me all the way through as well as Red Moon Rising. Nice work!
I did notice him

However I didn't think much of him until he was chosen as the ambiguous character to say the final line "and a long and happy life" in page 33 of chapter 2. He also appeared in the background on the first page of the intro and my comp does not load fast enough for me to patiently find the other appearance.
I felt he was probably important but I pushed it to the back of my mind and forgot about him honestly that is not me trying to save face.

Skinned, gutted, and made to look like three cute little blind mice.
I do enjoy Sally's sense of humor...erm actually I suppose your sense of humor.
next item
About Ronto are you making an empire or just surviving in the fallout world I'd kinda like to know.
FINAL item (sorry I usually don't post this much crap on here)
Is there a way to put my picture on my posts like you do yours because I can't figure it out. Sorry I'm dying to personalize the hell out of my meaningless posts.
Sure she's late,

But in the first chapter, she appeared on the 32nd page instead of the 36th, so she isn't that late.
Thought of something, considering the nature of Dalton city as it has been explained to us, could it be that previous page was not the third appearance of the creep with the umbrella?
About D's butt. It is quite lumpy. I'm no artist and couldn't draw like you do to save my life, but the line between the back of her left knee and her gluteus maximus contains a lump that the folds of her pj's just can't explain. If it is just a baggy fold in her clothing, consider drawing the fold upwards like you did on the back of both her knees.
The pj's make for an interesting contrast between the newly revived D and the lean acrobat we saw earlier though. Her pose on page 20 of chapter 1 remains my favorite.
Just quickly

Hey everybody,
ATM I'm working on stuff, so I'll have to answer individual points in a few. I just quickly wanted to thank 'M' for the constructive input. Honestly, I am NOT a professionally trained artist. I draw a lot: that's it. In the future I'll keep the lumps around her pants in mind. So thank you M, please continue to give input :). It is appreciated.
Guys, just to get this out there: I am doing this to develop, I am not doing this to be revered. If any of you see something that looks 'wrong', let me know so I can correct it in the future.

@ fourthings
I really liked Yu + Me, and I felt it did a lot to bring some credibility to Web comics as a medium. My only thing is that after having snail mailed the original piece to Megan Gedris...I still haven't heard anything back *shakes*. Ah, j/k. The girl's probably busy as hell what with her....3 comics she's working on at any time O.o
@ That Guy
Yup, that would be when. Sorry to hear you're having computer troubles.
Concerning Ronto, right now they're working to survive, but eventually they'll be able to pick and choose with factions they work with, and eventually, which ones they unify. In the future I think I might have a separate section for if anyone is interested.
And I know, I've been dodging relentlessly around the topic of having customizable profiles. Right now Dan's a busy guy, and he's nice enough to be doing everything he does for free.
BUT, I have bugged him about a neat idea for profiles, and it's funny that you mentioned customization. How about in next week's post, I'll let slip the idea that Dan and I shot around (with some images).
@ M
Again, will keep in mind. That is what I was going for with the pyjamas, so I'm glad to hear that. Keep the input coming, I do appreciate it.
