New exclusive May wallpaper for Patreon supporters! Featuring…masks. Because it’s still mask season.

Shine stripLast Shine reference for a while, I promise:

Timothy and Reseda weren’t associated with each other in their previous incarnations, but they managed to buddy up in their final present-day appearance. The day after that strip ran, this page dropped.

(At this point I honestly don’t remember if there was some long-term next-level planning to make it come out that way, or if it was just a really great coincidence.)

BerriesStop’n’Shop is a Boston fixture. My last few years in the area, one of the bus stops on my commute was just flat-out named after the store. Must’ve figured it was at least as permanent as the street names — and it’s not like you’d be getting off there for anything else.

In or outside of Boston, I don’t have any knack for finding berries that aren’t just-too-ripe. Any time I bring some home, they’ve gotta be eaten in the next meal. Surviving overnight is just not in the cards.

Close-up on KyuubeyIs that third-to-last panel more words in a row than Lily’s ever said before?

She’s giving us an altered Ruth-and-Naomi quote, but that second-to-last panel is supposed to have big close-up-on-Kyuubey energy.

／人◕‿‿◕人＼

(QB: “Do you have a wish that’s worth trading your soul for?” Me: “Yes — I wish I didn’t have to hand-draw a hundred little beads every other panel for this character’s hairstyle.”)

Shirt labeled 'Ask me about my tragic backstory'Timothy, I don’t think you needed to tell the main characters your whole tragic backstory just to make the point that Beings don’t leave their Masters…

Convenient for the comic that I was able to get it all out this early, though.

We haven’t seen Lily’s animal form directly yet, but in that last panel, she casts a cat-shaped shadow down the road.

Sailor Moon casting healing powerLily trying really hard to have a magical-girl sequence, here.

I still remember that holding-Emir pose was one of the most unusual, involved character angles I’d drawn yet. Still pretty okay with how it came out, too.

Dialogue: 'No good will come of this.' Caption: Next - No good comes of this.Usually Beings are guided by the convictions of their Masters. But once in a while, they know for an absolute fact that their Master is wrong.

Lily knew this wasn’t going to make anyone immortal.

Patrick…knows something about death that none of his humans seem to find convincing.

Carton of Flavor-AidEveryone knew this was coming, right?

Tends to be the only thing about cults that makes the news, after all.

…and if you want a more in-depth look at stuff the news doesn’t bother getting into, here’s a quick rec: season four of the podcast Something Was Wrong, made with a thoughtful, long-form series of interviews from a Jonestown survivor.

Dogwood flowersThere were a couple of dogwood trees in my front yard growing up. (The kind with plain white flowers, not the dramatic pink ones.)

I climbed those trees a lot, and picked a ton of the flowers. One of the reasons I put them in Lily’s headdress is that I don’t need references to get them spot-on. I could probably draw them in my sleep.

The unnamed flower in the lower left is, of course, reseda.

Pile of books padlocked with a chainKind of a mirror to Bianca’s earlier instincts of “show care for Patrick by bringing him books.”

…except not in the sense that Lily’s caring for Timothy. He’s not special to Brother Alvah, therefore he’s not special to her. (Yet.)

No, what’s going on is, Alvah doesn’t share books with Lily. Doesn’t talk about the Bible with her, definitely doesn’t talk about his special secret books that nobody else in the compound gets to see.

She can’t read them herself, so the only way to get closer to her Master is to have someone else read them to her.

Enrico Maxwell O_oAh, there’s those patented Enrico Maxwell Religious-Fanatic Crazy-Eyes.

Bit of a shame Timothy still has short hair as of “present time” in this chapter. At least s/he has long flowing wigs to wear out on the town. And will get the chance to fully grow it out eventually.
