Poor Carl (that’s the name of the skinny guard in my head). That tunic’s never gonna stay clean...

I really like how Squanknut’s character design turned out, and I irrationally love the last panel. I don’t love how I couldn’t find a page layout that really shows it off.

FYI, it’s important to me that although characters are probably gonna be threatened with it somewhat frequently, for plot and world-building reasons, that no one’s actually ever gonna get raped in this comic. I don’t begrudge anyone their fantasies, and think fantasy can be a very healthy way to let our darker drives out to play safely, but THIS comic has a theme, which is that sex is a fun, funny, absurd and absurdly powerful thing. It’s ridiculous, and it makes us do ridiculous things, and it has powerful consequences. In this comic, if attempted rapists don’t get squished, I think that theme gets undermined.
