Not sure if this will end up being mentioned later on so I'll just share this fun fact about Cricket here and now: she got that nickname because of her affinity for string instruments and hiding. Her real name is something that I know and which you do not. Also I'm curious what the audience perception is of Ferman Feldspar because one of my friends really likes him. Do you like him? Do you wish him to continue to be alive? Comment below.

I don't think I met my page goal for the month of November but I'm really tired and you forgive me. With finals season upon us I hope I'll be able to meet the December goal. I have an ongoing goal of making at least 8 pages of comic every month. If I can keep to that pace, the comic should be finished in about two or three years, which sounds like a long time but really isn't that long of a time. When JOE IS DEAD is finished I have some ideas for future projects, including a sci-fi biotech political drama type story with spies. I feel like I have a lot of new ideas to bring to sci-fi because I'm studying ecology, evolutionary biology, and genetics. Other comics I want to make someday soon are a werewolf comic, jewish folklore comics, semitic high fantasy story, a superhero comic about a Phd student who is a superhero, a comic about French walrus hunters, and of course, more volumes of my polar exploration comic NORTHWITH (one is in the works but progress has been slow). Most of these will probably be more shortform than JID for the sake of time.
