Author commentary

Veronica: One thing that I find fun about making new characters is that a lot of the time I have the super basic personality down, but then I start making up stuff in my head? Like “oh, wouldn’t this be interesting”

Like when I introduced Matt, he was just “Rachel’s friend” and was meant to be an excitable gentle giant.. but then I was like.. what if I made him gay.

Which then leaned into.. what if he has feelings for Jordan. And the ideas just kept pouring out. In some ways I am discovering new things about some new characters at the same time as Mike.

Anyway I developed a background in my head about Felix and James so that’ll be a fun thing to tackle in the future!

Is Mike an outlet for his feelings for Felix? Unless I'm missing something.

I don't think we know anything about Felix and James before this comment, but it sounds like Mike isn't the only one with friend group drama.

Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat. Whenever he gets in a fix he reaches into his bag of tricks.

I wish Mike would get with James so he can have a healthy relationship for once.

On the patreon here there's a reference sketch of the track team with names, it can be found by searching the "Misc. Sketches"!

Felix doesn't like him, because he keeps singing the Felix the Cat theme song around him.

Is there not a new page today? Every Monday?

I notice no one is talking about the missing page and I can't find anything on what I might be missing.

Here or on any of the Twitter acounts.
