Comic for Wednesday, July 5th, 2023

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 that ended up a little busy/annoying to read in my opinion, so I did the more minimal one. Ultimately, it's more like a clue" than a key", since there's not really any point that it's important and not already obvious. It's tricky because I typically do it by eye color, and hair color after eye color if they have the same eye color, but in this page there's 5 people with blue eyes, 2 of whom have blue hair, and blond (Tyler) looks a like orange (Ila) when the color is faded, so the only people it's really obvious with is Naomi and Kally.

Regarding Eliana and Ila's side conversation on flying, Eliana is right, in the since that how most people (Ila included) fly is just by flinging themselves through the air with magic - even Kally did that when she was flying without her dragon. But for Ila is good at stacking calculations, and good at weight calculations, so making her self float and then drift at walking speed isn't that hard, though way harder than walking down stairs like a normal person. Eliana's tactic here is similar to what Kally did to get on the rooftop. Making an ethereal construct and move it about is one of the easier ways to fly, though it's a lot harder than just making. Moving them short distances relative to you is easier than moving them long distances with you in the frame of reference, since you cannot simply calculate where it is in relation to you - that's why most people tend to stand relatively still while using them. Red ones are a lot easier to use this way, though a lot harder to make.

Anyway, I'll post this without rambling further as its already late.
