The Far Side of Utopia

Comic.

Comic. Not even late. It's still Monday on like... a large chunk of the world, really. Sorry if text layout is a bit odd on this one. Was in a bit of a hurry and there was a lot of[...] Read the rest of this entry...

I had initially hoped to do a full page' comic today, since otherwise the action scenes take quite awhile. Unfortunately, plans went awry, and as you are here to witness we are getting a typical half-page a day late, so...[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Comic.

Would you look at that, I got the year correct. Probably. Happy 2024, everyone! I've given some thought to what I'd do with the comic in 2024, but for the time being, decided to keep going as we've been going.[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Merry Christmas (and/or your local Equivalent Winter Holiday)! We have a winner for the 2023 Santa Hat Poll! See you all in 2024, next comic should be 1/8/2024, where I will inevitable forget to update the year on the comic[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Ye all impatient lot... as if I ever put up comics before late at night with them gun jumping accusations. Anyway... comic. Most importantly - far more important than that there is a comic page, there's a vital poll posted[...] Read the rest of this entry...

I will probably a miss a comic later this month. Not exactly sure when yet, but will be travelling. But not this one.

Comic. The last panel with Ila might be a bit of an... artistic rendition of the events there... the background should not be taken too literally. This doesn't directly relate to the comic, but I made this comment in regards[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Ya'll grabbing pitchforks and starting fires and it's still Monday. Some places, anyway. We may have to review your pitchfork licenses with that sort of reckless usage. Anyway, here's a comic. Next one should be 10/23/23

Look, I don't know how even time works anymore or what happened to last week. Was working on something, then, bam, poof. A week was gone. But, comic! Will aim for next page Oct 9th, but we all know what's[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Well... it's been awhile. But... comic! Sorry about that. Was running late, then ended up getting sick and couldn't quite kick it for awhile. Still a little sick actually, it's clinging on, but almost out of the woods now I[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Comic. We have seen Miko look like this before. Miko does not seem surprised. This world looks slightly different than last time we saw it (when Tyler and Amy got pulled into it by the Rogue family head, and Mium[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Comic. Just about the time you'd given up on my uploading one. The speech bubble coloring is a little odd. I considered doing it throughout the whole page as it would make it more obvious which color was who, but[...] Read the rest of this entry...

New chapter starts... They form a... plan?... Admittedly it's pretty late my time and I haven't slept that much in a few days at this point, so I'm mostly just hoping that the comic is as coherent as it seems[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Comic. This admittedly getting somewhat silly in a words to pictures ratio, but essentially with the scheduling what it was, I decided to condense the Intermission from ~6 comics to ~3 comics... given that comics already became a half page[...] Read the rest of this entry...

This is one of those where I pretty shamelessly just put... several pages... of text on one page. The new style may allow certain degrees of irresponsibility. But with the once every two-week update schedule, it felt like makes sense[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Comic. While I guess you already knew their names from the character tags, I suppose now you know which one is which.

As is tradition for Interludes... two characters we've haven't met yet. This will probably be a longer interlude, though still seeing how much I'll condense down or skip.

Comic. It's been so long since we ended a chapter I bet you folks forgot there even were chapters. You can probably guess what the next chapter is about... There will be a series of intermission comics between the chapters[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Comic. Nathan is a mysterious figure. As he moves through the story along a different axis (not literally, just as the main character of a different story occasionally crossing paths with this one) it can tricky to determine if his[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Comic. Sorry about missing last week. I don't think this is the start of a 1 out of 3 week schedule, I think we'll still be on an every other week schedule. Unfortunately health issues remain largely unsolved. Not an[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Comic. Sorry for the slight delay this time around. When Kally talks about an Eidos fingerprint, some people can sense when an object has a large amount of Eidos data attached to it; since the Bridgepoint data contains Eidos data[...] Read the rest of this entry...

Well, as ya’ll might imagine, I’m rather busy at the moment. But I found time to make you folks a comic, so rejoice and set aside the torches and pitchforks. I will confess you I didn’t end up following what[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Comic! The various legal troubles remain unsorted, having seemingly entered a new phase where a Certain Cabal of Coastal Casters that worship the demon of corporate greed are new trying routes of deception and delay. Consequently, I’ve decided to move[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Look at that, I even got the year right this time. Sorry this comes a little late – lot of stuff came up this week, and on top of that lost power Monday night when I was trying to get[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I realize that parts of the comic will be harder to read, the panels at the start are meant to be chattering, that’s not individually importantly, and that Mium’s aggregated answers is somewhat difficult to follow is sort of the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Comic! At long last. For those that missed the Q&A, you can find it here. No promises on next week, but pretty sure it won’t be 4 weeks until the next one again.

What is the Consul’s name? As a general rule, I don’t name characters outside of the comic itself. It’s not really a spoiler and will probably come up at some point, but it’s intentional that she goes by her title[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Now, I can save us some time in the comments: You, Smart Comment Person: PastUtopia, did you really think it was a good idea to label the bubbles with crudely drawn arrows and numbers? Was that the best idea you[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sorry it ran a little late this week, but didn’t want to skip since we had a block of missed comics recently. Little bit of a time crunch on drawing it, and figuring out how I want to draw the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sorry for the long absence. May be another one in November, but until then I think we should have updates. Maybe I will finally do the Q&A during that one. Peter mentions Rupture – it’s a type of magic that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The plot thickens.

Comic.

Comic. I did say it’d be late. Though this is slightly later than expected. Good night, by which I mean good morning, or maybe in some cases good afternoon.

So… Obviously the format on this one is slightly different. It’s not as different as it might seem. As is probably obvious, I still drew it as the normal half page comic, but expanded out the panels. The main reason[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Comic! On some sort of time.

Comic! Once can make a guess that there may have been a few other humans that experienced rapid projectile deconstruction off screen between the ?! and now. Panel 7 is the somewhat obscured aftermath of what happens when Ila is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Comic! Ended up having more panels and taking longer than expected. Sort of that thing where I took more than one page and stuffed it on half a page, because that’s what I tend to do.

Comic. Sorry this took a bit longer than expected.

Comic! Pretty sure it’s Monday somewhere, so I’m counting it.

Comic. Mium is forced to expand his range of expectations from humans once more. Downwards, of course.

See, it’s comic like this one that set a bad precedent of being “early” that get me in trouble with the definition of “posted on Monday”. We’ve seen all the characters in the second half of the page before, they[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

A little later than I expected, and it’s rather late my time as I post this, so, I’ll keep this part brief…comic! It exists.
