YOU ALREADY SHOOK THE CLOWN’S HAND, IT’S TOO LATE
seriously his voice has reverb for emphasis, how does he do that, who does that, what kind of weirdo is this
Originally the drawing of Funbistro 5 was going to be at the bottom of the last page but I decided it needed to dominate an entire spread and think this was a good decision. Mostly because it made me replace it with a panel of Alba going quietly insane while “Now That’s What I Call Funtrain! (3h of Dubtwonk Reversal)” plays.
If I ever get anyone to make “Now That’s What I Call Funtrain!”, the lyrical direction will be for them to get a good, infectious beat going, and improvise about having a good time riding the Funtrain until they have completely exhausted every clever idea they have.
JOB TWO ACCEPTED
I should put something in here. I used to put something in here for pretty much every page back on Rita, didn’t I?
I should also edit the style for this comic to make it easier to get to the comments for an individual page.
Maybe I should get on some kind of comics ad network again too. It’s been so long since Rita and everything’s different now and I just wanna draw pages and not think of anything else.
I’ve had a bunch of pages for this sitting on my machine for a while and I’m finally getting around to dropping them all into the queue. Yay!
I did some weird stuff with the style for this comic to set it up for the multiple-image single-panel-scroll look I started with and it is currently screwing with how the single-image full pages are displayed. I’m working on fixing this, at least they are showing up now. Sorry about the extra horizontal scrolling o individual pages if I haven’t fixed this yet; they work right in full chapter view!

Alba was hoping for maybe a little more drama after that big crazy grin but, well, Zaffo’s unflappable.
Every time I look at the diagram of Zaffo’s brain it makes me giggle.
Also she is a self-insert and yes we say that about me too.
The lower censor bar was a lot smaller and mostly horizontal in the rough.
The Special Weather Event is spilling out of the Foodclown Foodfunhut and that really doesn’t look very good but Jobclown said the job was done so I guess… it’s… okay?
major thanks to the wizards at Astute Graphics for saving me from actually having to draw a bg in the last panel here, I just copied the one from the next page (which itself was modified from the one at the beginning of the chapter) and hit it with their lovely halftone plugin 🙂
Last batch of pages for this chapter, yay! HUGS FOR EVERYEON!
I was gonna spend a week doing some commissions but then I submitted this thing for an Ignatz and maybe I better, like, finish out this first arc before the judges look at it? That’d be nice.
There’s three more pages left before that happens!
We’re getting close to the end of this chapter, and to the end of the first job! Once that’s done it’s probably gonna be time to do some more work on the website’s presentation of this thing, and maybe even try promoting it…
It is totally normal for holographic clowns to pop out of your cleavage and evaluate your friends’ performance. Zaffo is probably enjoying this more than she really should.
Back to reality! Such as it is.
