The Far Side of Utopia

So, I’ll not beat the dead horse too much regarding the issues of the last few days, you can go read the comments from the last update if you’re interesting and didn’t see them already. Long story short, site was[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!

Still running a little late on these. Haven’t really been able to quite get things properly scheduled yet. It may not seem like it, but it does take me quite some time to draw/write these pages, so it takes getting[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

…okay, sorry that was a little late. Unfortunately I didn’t get as many chances to work on it as I wanted, it and was a page that took awhile. The less said about that last panel the better. There was[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

…attempting to provoke someone? Mium? Never! Sorry this is up a little late, and well, we’re behind on basically everything for the comic. As usually seems to, things sort of came up until, bam, no weekend left and there we[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

…and in the last panel Kally summarizes the entire comic on one breath. Okay… not quite. Technically, Atter is right. Mium did, in fact, steal it from a museum. It’s a long story though, it’s not quite as bad as[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Ah, this is up a little late. Unfortunately up way past when I should be sleeping, so there might be a worse crop of typos than usually. I will swing by some time tomorrow to try to fix anything. Turns[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

So I figure I should note that Atter is intentionally not talking in his preferred -(language)- ; I decided that explaining that in the page was simply not worth the panel space. He did briefly on the last page, but[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Is that the first time we’ve seen Peter swear? I don’t think so, but maybe. He’s somewhere between Miko and Arron. Less eloquent in fluent vitrolese than Miko, but not quite as classical as Arron. In general I think Peter’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I mean, he did sort of warn her that was the case already. The head of an ethereal construct is not entirely ornamental, I mean, it does contain teeth in this case. But they are also less mandatory than they[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Stupid physics having rules and things. Those things have no place in the world of Naomis. As per usual, I’m not convinced that Naomi knows what the “normal” way of anything is. Character page hasn’t made too much progress yet,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

She was distracted by the fancy stick. Speaking of distracted, I’ve been a little distracted I’ve been a bit distracted this last week, but should be getting back to things here. I hope to finish the character page update next[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I assure you, hitting things with Ka’vil is not the proper use of it. There are some people that would be fairly aghast at that use of it, really. That said, it’s a very handy side-effect of what it is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Peter does have a bad record with housing. I wonder if there is a special Peter insurance. Guess probably not. No one could afford that.

Even for Peter, a slobbering abomination in the hallway is an unusually bad day. Run the mill house-bombings, well, that’s just sort the sort of thing that happens. But this? That’s just straight up bizarre. I mean, unless you’re involved[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

So… how many of you just read this page twice, once for Peter’s panels, once for Mium/Naomi/Nathans? How many people just read them in order? 😀 Pfff, Narrative flow is for chumps! I don’t think either Naomi or Mium have[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Many of Naomi’s dilemmas end up as “to punch, or not to punch?”. Unfortunately with all this plotting and scheming stuff there are complicated charts of who to punch and who not to punch. Rovak would sympathize. Hmmm. That should[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I’ve written before that hyle is just a pretentious way of saying “reality”. Personally I pronounce is something like “hai-yun” but that’s because I originally always saw it written as ὕλη and I know almost nothing about how to pronounce[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Naomi frequently checks on Mium whenever she gets bored to make sure he doesn’t get lonely. I think if she picked a fortunate or unfortunate time depends on who you ask. Naomi acquires most of her sleep by napping during[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Hmmm, well, the split narrative make sense to Mium. Not my fault if humans find it confusing… 😐 Nathan’s use of an incantation for magic is more of a formality than necessary. Classic natural mages often did it to help[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

This really was supposed to be the weekend I catch up any number of things, but unfortunately basically the whole backlog is being carried over to the next sprint. Didn’t get as much done as I’d like, and what I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Soo… many… words…. waaah. Just let me know how I’ve abominably murdered the English language and grammar 😐 We have seen before that not everyone takes the thought of Peter going rogue particularly seriously. We’ve seen before that the other[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Well, first the exciting news – we hit the next goal on Patreon ($90), so a new bonus series will start there again. Same as last time, eventually it will make it’s way to the main comic or otherwise be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Sorry I’ve been behind on new bonus drawings and stuff, hit the end of my buffer here. Had a really busy end last week and start to this one at work and some other stuff, all in all just been[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

His list of titles can go one for sometime, he always forgets to add “Largest of the Hams”… though in retrospect that might be one that Peter gave him. Technically speaking I don’t think this counts as a new character,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Well, I suppose we’ve reached two digit chapters. Only took a few years. Though I’m still not entirely sure even I know what makes a chapter a chapter in this story… There’s a lot I could say about this page,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I imagine even he had his chart it wouldn’t help much. “Only blow up blue uniforms on Tuesdays… damnit… what day it is it… hmmm, maybe that uniform was more grey? Oh well, boom it goes.” He’s schedule of backstabbing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The gun used by RMF agent here is, as most of you probably assume, an autocaster. It works fairly similar to the spell we saw Mione using, in that it’s a simplified information based attack that targets the Eidos Form[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I swear to you that reading Panel 5 is not really necessary, but I know that most of you will anyway, so I did my best to make it legible. I don’t think Mium really has a great concept of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I know that Arron’s habit of slipping into the third person talking about himself annoys some of you, but blame him, not me. He’s an odd chap sometimes. He is a Kepler after all. Panel 10 is a little odd,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
