I am not doing anything wrong by resting, I have to rest I have no choice. I am allowed to watch videos. I am allowed to listen to music. I don't have to make myself miserable. I am not pretending to be in a coma. I am alone in my apartment. He then falls back into bed in a panel shaped like the word bed. The three young guys watch a pigeon fly away.

Rough comix page excerpt one two of four, new page. Gunnr walk away and Doctor Wode says to her assistant "No, the bucket too, hand it to me in the bucker." She then retires to her trailer where she prays "Ïa Shub Nigh-joor-ath, Wild Goat of the Woods With A Thousand Young, Ïa, Hydra F'tagn, Hydra F'tagn, Great Hydra waits in Y'hanthlei! Sanguinem Bibimus, Corpus Edimus, Thing in Yellow, Queen in Red. Hail Bloody Mary. Ave Lamia, who shall find rest for herself in Zion, Blessed Be Madam Koi Koi, Poludnica the Noonday Demon, Ol' Higue, and LA Llorona. Praises to Iara D'Agua, Kuchisake-Onna, and go the high priestess of King's Park." Next scene, a man sits in the dark clicking a bright light on and off from an unseen source in front of him. Rough comix excerpt page two of four. The guy from last page turns the lights on, drops a spherical gem in a box with square slots some of which have spherical or crystalline gems of various sizes, then makes a phone call. Kallan is watching another livestream. Noah: "Moocifer: I think I saw you at Zinefest but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make it weird for you." That's not weird I know I say I'm, like, a very private person I real life but you guys can say hi to me if you see me out, especially at an event like that, it's not weird for me. Except for that one housemate I actually don't get recognized from this all that much. Moocifer spelled with two zeros and a three types a reply: I didn't want to come across parasocial and weird. Kallan Bale responds in the chat: I get that there's a streamer I'm like that with. Don't worry Noah it's not you (no offense) I've actually stopped watching him because if it. Rough comix excerpt page three of four. The chat continues: moocifer: "at Kallum Bale Oh are you doing OK?" Jemmy 360 "you shoukd make a zine. I'd but it" Paul iz All: "You hear that chat? He says it's OK to stalk him!" Kallum Bale: "Yeah I'm doing good". The streamer reads "Rocko's Modern Basilisk asks 'Are you into zines?' I'm getting into them that was kind of what drew me to zine fest, just like curiosity". Kallan gets a reminder on his phone of a two o clock barber shop appointment. New scene the woman who texted Kallan earlier is sitting by thd window with a woman friend. The friend says "Hi Derrick" she says "Hey Babe if you're going out there can you kinda look and see if there's an owls nest?" Derrick says "Hey...what?" She continues "There was a huge owl out there it would've got Pax" Derrick repeats: "What?" Rough comix excerpt page four of four: she sighs then replies "Pax only weighs a couple of pounds. Derrick: "OK, OK I've just never heard of an owl trying to eat a dog before, I've never even seen one out here!" Her: "It was in the tree next door it was like two feet tall!" Derrick: "I gotta spy on our neighbors now? Alright let me look up a photo of an owls nest...". Doctor Wode sits face down on the table in her trailer with a burned out votive candle and a near empty bottle of whisky: "Ïa! Ïa! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Hydra Y'hanthlei wgah'nagl fhtagn”. Hayden sits on the couch with the remote in one hand and his girlfriend snuggled up against him. She says "Sooo..." he replies "So?". Girlfriend: "Did you find out what the schedule is going to be?" Hayden: "Uh, yeah, we leave Wednesday and we'll be gone two and a half weeks"

Back with the Carpe Cajonés boys they take a picture with a drag king in an embroidered shirt, Sonny Bono mustache and exaggerated Elvis pompadour, then smoke at a local dispensary. Pete sits next to Hayden at the slot machine. Petr: You got a system to make it pay out? Hayden: Nah, I just need to sit here and do this for a while. The machine: Cherry. Seven. Bar. Hayden: It's all just fucking luck. Pete: Uh, I think you're supposed to pull the lever at just the right time. Hayden: Yeah, yeah. Remember when Cain Ontario got caught texting that high school girl? Pete: Uh...yeah. Page sixty Hayden: What do you think makes a dude break protocol like that? Pete: Oh, I mean he usually like 'em legal I don't think he's like...a, uh Hayden; No, not that, I mean...like, I used to meet up with girls - women - adult women who'd D.M. me, y'know she'd be my Boston girl or my Portland girl for a little while and they knew that was all I was and even, like, not even that, every friend I have, everyone I even know...like there's you guys, there's people I knew from before this took off, and there's other people in the business it's like the saying you can make uh, new...you can make new friends but you can't make new old friends. So what makes a guy completely screw his life up that way? Pete: I don't know, maybe he is some kind of predator. Page sixty one In Vegas Pete: You're not talking to young groupies are you? Hayden: No, no, I'm not talking to young girls I'm just messed up, I don't know what I'm talking about. In Javion's studio Javion: How did we even get in here. The two guys who were watching with binoculars barge in. "Alright, everybody freeze. Sister Ruth you're coming home with us. She looks frightened. In the woods Thrud flirts with a Fresno Nightcrawler and the bulbous eyed sheet ghost like cryptid she had been fooling around with sees them In livestream chat J1mmyJ0n: I'm honestly not sure he actually did any of them. KallanBale: really? J1mmyJ0n: watch a video of him, like pay attention The streamer: as a content creator, can confirm. We're all complete frauds. Ha-ha. Page sixty two The livestream guy: That's a joke and all but I could tell you stories from cons and stuff. A lot of people...I don't mean creatively but just as people, are really different in private. Kallan types "I actually met a guy who's on a pretty succ..." then deletes it. On the tourbus Hayden is sleeping it off. Back at Javions studio where he fateful decided to spend the night that night. Javion: Hey, whoa, whoa. Her (shouting): My name is Melissa Keavann! They want to take me back to Flatsprings Tennessee! 301 Red Maple Trail! One guy: PK stand back! This does not concern you! Her and the money she took belong with our community!

Page sixty-seven Melissa:I'm sorry I'm sorry, I didn't know they...I didn't mean to bring them here I just, I, I...could you walk me to my car or or not even walk me to my car just call an Uber and let me wait?

Alayne sits in a lawn chair and calls her dog Pax over while Derrick surveys the late afternoon sky. Page sixty-eight No one in particular says " They're sort of like bigfootd aren't they, they used to be not quite real. There was this story of them being born different in their little Bethlehem, like Liverpool- Bloop. -and then they go to the big city New York or L.A. or London or Nashville or Jerusalem and become semi-fictional...not completely of the real world." The four handmade Shrouds of Turin from before are visible there are also panels with the reliquary of the holy prepuce, Buddha's tooth, Mohammed's tooth, Leda's egg, bigfoot and Chewie the Chupacabra. The relic maker asks Kallan "Do you suppose Bigfoot would be shocked to see the Chupacabra? Page Sixty-nine Kallan: Maybe, or maybe they're part of the same secret ecosystem The Relic Maker: and do you guess that they be happier or poorer for that? Kallan: They can go their separate ways if it's poorer, better to know for sure Kallan turns to look at the Relic-maker and sees himself in a mirror with the relic-maker's clothes and haircut, tucked into the frame of the mirror is a little scrap of paper with a medieval drawing of a man reading a letter and bells ringing. Meanwhile Melissa knocks on the door of a small house with an open picket fence from inside her silhouette isvisible through the drawn curtain of thr doors window. "Mindy, Mindy, it's me Melissa"

Yeah I don't know why this page took me so long either. We're kind of in the "Shonen manga webcomic fight scene" part here, I promise I am going somewhere with this.

Rough comix excerpt page one of four: Kallan: Uh...maybe, I don't know. You'd need something to show who it's supposed to be though. The relic-maker: Yea, with these I take some of the iron oxide and make paint to color in the five wounds. Thank you for your help, if this makes me famous I shall introduce you to whoever you like, eh? Kallan continues to sleep. Hayden and the rest are in a concrete tent shaped room in the desert with a shrub, a bench and a decorative classic car around it. Not-Hayden: sigh, OK we're here at the world famous teepee motel we gonna film? If we're gonna get cancelled let's get it over with. The One With Glasses: Well. It's a wigwam hotel. There's more than one. Hayden: Wait!? What!? This isn't even the only one? The four of us piled into a two-bed room fir no reason then!? This isn't a landmark!? The One With Glasses: Yeah, yes, they all are. Look you're the one who didn't want to blow money on rooms that we were only going to use for a few hours. Not-Hayden: Well, tours off to a great start. You gettin' all this Pete? Pete films with his camera, the other one's name is Pete now. Rough comix excerpt page two of four: The one with glasses stands near Hayden who sits on the bed smiling but rubbing his face like hes tired TOWG: there's one in one of the Grand Theft Auto Games Hayden: OK what do you do there we could recreate it or like riff on it, do a parody TOWG: Uh, nothing it's just an Easter Egg you can walk around in but nothing actually happens there Hayden; Oh...OK....awesome TOWG: there's a giant concrete tent and a classic car for you guys to goof around and pose with I'm sure you can think of something Not-Hayden is hamming it up for Pete's tablet camera "What'd you think? Think Rhys just wanted in bed with me? We're you in on it?" "He won't talk!" He says grinning and putting his hands up as if exasperated. Pete: I'm filming, what do you want me to say? So TOWG is named Rhys from here foreward. Rough comix excerpt page three of four Hayden: Alright, Pete, Andre, c'mon Rhys says we gotta shoot and I guess he's in charge now for some reason. Derrick comes to the door and greets Kallan with a pat on the back hug. Derrick: Hey buddy, how's it goin'? Come on in. Hey babe? Alane? Honey? Your brother's here! Alane: Hey! Kallan and Alane give each other a squeezey hug. So to recap Not-Hayden's name is Andre, and the woman's name is Alane Rough comix excerpt page four of four Alane: Here come sit down a minute before we go Derrick: How was your drive over? Kallan: Not too bad, I went the back way. Derrick: You want something to drink? Kallan: Oh, Uh, yeah, thank you. What do you have? Meanwhile on the bus Andre: nah, it's not real, I think it's just Twisters. Hayden: What's Twisters? Andre: Uhh...it's like Mexican food but also hamburgers.

I have, in theory, finally finished editing Orbal Prism and put in an order for a proof copy! Here's preview pages, we'll see how the physical looks when it comes.
#Comix #DIYComics #HandDrawnComics #IndieComics #MiniComics #WebComics
One. A woman with short black hair in a black shirt and a cord necklace is driving late at night. Hayden pulls card zero, the Fool, and gives hammy annoyed grin to the camera. Hayden: whatever you guys set that up Reader: I assure you the cards have not been tampered with Hayden: OK, so thats my fool ass prancing off a cliff Reader: Oh there are much scarier cards you could have pulled Kallan and Alaine are inside a restaurant with round hanging lanterns and globe lights looking at menus Alaine: Hmm..what are you getting? Kallan: Uhh...maybe the tuna melt. Alaine: Hmm... Doctor Wode continues to dream of the necklace changing hands in reverse to a Amazigh merchant, to a man in a toga and seashell crown, to a dark figure in shadow. A being with a mask like winged face and three or more visible wings hands a round jewel to a character wearing a simple mantilla and a tight full body covering resembling an anime girl or 90's Batman cartoon femme with two dark holes through which two white circle eyes can be seen. Inside a stone or mud brick thatch roof house the character turns to a man huddled between an older and younger woman and says "give back my coat" The man replies "fine" and tells the older woman "it's in the chest go get it". The character tells the younger woman "you there, help me" in the next panel the two white circle eyes and necklace are visible beneath the dark hood of a hand made coat, the tight covering now falls away in tatters and the character walks past a rosebush, along a beach, toward mountains, in the rain and snow. The older woman turns to the fourth wall and says "I guess you think that's pretty funny "doctor", but are you it's daughter...or ours?" as the Hag gang/cult's characteristic face tattoos appear on her face Hayden: You gonna miss me? Her: Yeah...what time are you leaving? Hayden: That night, we're meeting up at seven. Her: Do you want to do something together that morning? Hayden: Yeah, sure. Doctor Wode dreams of the necklace chaning hands to the woman from the start of the comic, from a statue of an angel, from a bearded white man in a polo shirt and khakis on a plane, from an aboriginal young man in blue jeans, from an old time Chinese merchant in an office, from an Ethiopian merchant in a shop, from a Khoikhoi man, from a West African merchant in a market.

I am cheating and posting a partially finished page because I'm running out of ink and I want to post tonight.

Page Fifty-five Back at the Hags camp Gunnr to Thrud: Bum a light? Ditched your shadow? Gotta be careful with that, they get attached, 'specially if thry know where you live. Two men sitting in a car one prays the other looks through binoculars. Praying man: The baying of dogs and spilling of blood...and we're destroyed of the destroyer...look favorably on our sacrifices. Binoculars man: There we go. Page fifty six. Hayden and Andre walk out with their luggage Pete films them saying "Woo- last stop on the tour" as Andre squints tiredly and does and peace sign and Hayden does a big lounge out eyes closed grin and flips him off. Kallan is watching a livestream where a man is watering a plant saying "I don't want to pile on this guy more than already has been I just thought it was interesting. In chat: Nabumafu : I really worry about him becoming a lol cow Kallan Bale: I don't think the people who do that care about professional scandals they'd get bored. DigiBroad: Oh there's a whole other set of weirdos keeping track of him. Page fifty seven her: I-I-you have my gem. Javion: No, lady, no, you can not be in here her: Please, thry stole it, they stole it from me! Kallan still wat hing the livestream Nabumafu: I saw online where he faked his death and was going by an assumed name Digibroad: that's so fucking dramatic but it kinds proves my point that they bothered to hunt him down. guy: OK please no one here go harass the guy who literally faked his own death and still couldn't get away Kalkan Bale: I'd like to know which ones he actually did, I'm curious what his genuine style really is. Hayden and Andre in front if the Luxor hotel sphinx "I'm Andre Silvers, and I'm Hayden Bowers, welcome to Carpe Cajonés" Fifty seven: partially inked comic page of the Carpe Cajonés boys doing a show in Las Vegas and hitting the casinos, strip clubs, and an indoor skydiving simulator.

I've been posting way too much today but I finally got to work, here it is.

Page fifty. Hayden: especially if they are all innocent: podcast cancelled, all of us in jail Pete: Maybe they'll let us fill some toilet wine tastings and D.I.Y. real doll builds. Andre: speaking of fake-innocent "the quiet one" over there Rhys: "I don't know what these guys are talking about your honor, I was never on that bus, they just e-msiled me the raw footage to edit" Andre: "Nah, nah, judge it was all Rhys's idea. He brought all the stuff, we didn't even know what any of it was, that was all Rhys." Hayden: For real though in between burnout ski instructor land and Sodom and Gommorah I could use a break, like maybe margaritas at Red Iguana and that it. Meanwhile Kalkan sits on his bed looking intently at his phone Page fifty one Kallan texting on his device Kallan: Hey Olen how've you been doing? Olen: I'm OK Kallan:so what've you been up to here lately? Kallan receives no response as he waits, gets up, comes back and looks on his device again. "OK" he thinks. He looks at videos online the thumbnails are not visible in panel but "streamed 6 course ago", "upcoming", and "steamed one day ago" they say. He gets up and walk outside. Page fifty-two Kallan looks to the sky and takes a picture of something with his device. Meanwhile Javion and an unnamed interviewer with wavy hair pulled back in a ponytail and a microphone clipped to their t-shirt stand in his studio. Interviewer:We're here with Javion Pickett, why don't we start with you telling us a little about what you do? Javion: I create art installations; indoor, outdoor, sometimes whole environments that can involve, audio, video, optics, lighting and just whatever it ends up needing. Interviewer: OK wow, could you talk a bit about the themes of your work and how the audience or the public factor into that? Javion: Uh, yeah, I don't always get to know what people's reaction to my stuff I but recently I kinda had some, uh, sone little birds out there and they told me people were having sone interesting responses. Interviewer: Oh, yeah? Javion: Yeah, I heard some people were crying and fighting, others would kiss right after the big flash woukd go off. Right over here Javion turns toward something in the room. Page fifty-three Javion: See, I just got this gem from a resale shop. It's not from under the pyramids or anything. But it did remind me of...let me think how much of this story I should tell...there was this girl I was talking to and the instant I realized I was I deep it was like "pow" like a glitch in the Matrix. I won't go into what happened between us but what if that moment's not bullshit and delusion what if everything else is and sometimes we accidentally get a peak behind the curtains see the truth of people? Even if it fades that's got to mean something right? But yeah, long story short, I don't know. Maybe thinking about stuff like that subconsciously seeps into the work and affects people, I really don't know. There's a panel of a woman in a snuggly on her couch watching the interview on TV. Hayden and Andre are in a two bed hotel room with Rhys and Pete presumably in another. The lights are off and they're each in bed, Hayden is on his phone. Hayden: We're in the hotel now. We'll be back I town all tomorrow then we'll come home. Andre: Hayden...come to back to bed...we miss you. He says in falsetto. Hayde listens to his phone for a second and after a beat he says bemused "that's Andre doing a voice" and points the device front camera at andre.

Rough comix excerpt page one of four Kallan and Alane still in the restaurant Kallan: Does you eat here a lot? Alane: mmn...not a lot, I eat here sometimes Kallan: what do you normally get? Alane: different things. Kallan God, it's so nice go be up here I the city. I'm so proud of you that you really did it and moved out here Alane: you could still do it. Hayden and Rhys back on the bus Hayden: Nooo...c'mon, no. I said I'd shoot some bits not be on the fuckin'...like...Truman Show. We're not the Osbornes, put the camera away. Rough comix excerpt page two of four Kallan and Alane in the restaurant continued Alane: You could transfer ar work and move down here Kallan: Even if I could get a transfer at work I don't think I could afford to live here. Maybe I should have done it when I was younger. It's easier to be poor and uncomfortable when you're young. Well, I say that but I didn't have this job then, so .I really couldn't have afforded it. Alane: Yeah, it can be pretty rough, one of my friends still lives with roommates. Kallan : ooh, what time is it? Alane: Yeah it's almost time. Meanwhile Hayden and Rhys are talking to two women at a little open air beachside bar. Rough comix excerpt page four of four Kallan and Alane leave the restaurant Kallan: should we just leave the car here? Alane: Yeah I'll be fine. OK it's around the corner here. They come upon an outdoor stage with an LED wall, a window shaped screen, a flat traffic light shaped screen, Christmas lights, and rectangular flat screens all arranged around an odd stand under glass with a little pole and a hexagonal backing displaying a little round gem. A small crowd is gathered. " guidelines for photosensitive viewers also" All the lights except the center stand turn on. Kallan watches the show then his jaw drops slightly as he heard from off panel "OK 3, 2, 1, action. I'm Andre Silvers and I'm Hayden Bowers, welcome to Carpe Cajonés" Hayden and Andre: Welcom to Carpe Cajonés. Kallan looks on as if in a trance Alane: Kallan? You OK? The little spherical gem lights up. Hayden looks over his glasses with a stunned expression. Kallan: Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Hayden: Let, I'll be back in a minute. Pete follows him camera in hand, Hayden: Pete

Comic page (rough pencils) Hayden and all get on the tour bus. Back in Hag territory Thrud responds to Doctor Wode: to get on the internet we'd need computers, or at least phones. Doctor Wode: bunch of damn high tech bullshit! Just ride out to the city and sell it then buy gas and ammo...and bring receipts! Don't put it on, don't touch it with your bare hands, and don't let them do it either! Kallans barber: ah, dude, you're pretty. Damn, took off ten years? Fifteen years? Ha-ha Alright man man I'm just playin' OK here comes the alcohol 3, 2, 1

Page six The other two young guys get ready, the skinny one puts on a mesh t-shirt and a denim vest, the heavy on brushes and sprays his mohawk. Kloqtower, a man with long dark hair in a tophat and black coat sings, a man who is bald in sunglasses in a t shirt plays keytar, a man who is mostly off panel plays bongos. The three young guys are there, Carl is at the bar. Page seven The show ends. The three young guys and Carl's separately leave, Gabriel is smoking in an alkeyway watching them. Carl drives home and takes a shower, the three young guys take an Uber to Waffle House. Page eight Carl towels off and stands in front of the bathroom mirror. Our Horus: it was about two cat furriesand they flew fighter jets but they weren't in the airforce they were like superheroes. Baxter: they weren't furries Mesh-shirt: wait, wait, so they dressed up like cats but their superpower was they had pilots' licenses Baxter: it was for kids they were just cats, it's a cartoon "Horus": They were human sized and talked Baxter: in a cartoon "Horus": ...about furries Page nine In a row of rectangular panels Carl takes the clippers to his face, thinks about it briefly then his chest, flexes Hercules pose and sucks in his gut in front of the mirror. In more sporadically placed flame or leaf shaped panels a twelve to fifteen year old Carl is visible from the neck up, he checks to make sure the bathroom door is locked then takes his shirt off, his face saddens as his though bubbles read: "Oh God, I'm ugly."

Tarot reader: I really haven't been taking appointments for thus but I'll make an exception for you guys today. Andre: so is this voodoo? Reader: Oh, no, this city has more than one flavor of spooky, it's not all voodoo...alright pick a card. Andre picks the three of wands from the reader's Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck. It shows a man in a cloak looking out a ships in a bay. Andre: Hey is that me? Reader: Uh, yes, actually, and "your ship is coming in", this is a good sign for you career going foreward, expansion and growt Andre: ungh! Yeah! That's right! That's right! Reader: OK, now you.

Rough comix excerpt page one of four. The guy from last page turns the lights on, drops a spherical gem in a box with square slots some of which have spherical or crystalline gems of various sizes, then makes a phone call. Kallan is watching another livestream. Noah: "Moocifer: I think I saw you at Zinefest but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to make it weird for you." That's not weird I know I say I'm, like, a very private person I real life but you guys can say hi to me if you see me out, especially at an event like that, it's not weird for me. Except for that one housemate I actually don't get recognized from this all that much. Moocifer spelled with two zeros and a three types a reply: I didn't want to come across parasocial and weird. Kallan Bale responds in the chat: I get that there's a streamer I'm like that with. Don't worry Noah it's not you (no offense) I've actually stopped watching him because if it. Rough comix excerpt page two of four. The chat continues: moocifer: "at Kallum Bale Oh are you doing OK?" Jemmy 360 "you shoukd make a zine. I'd but it" Paul iz All: "You hear that chat? He says it's OK to stalk him!" Kallum Bale: "Yeah I'm doing good". The streamer reads "Rocko's Modern Basilisk asks 'Are you into zines?' I'm getting into them that was kind of what drew me to zine fest, just like curiosity". Kallan gets a reminder on his phone of a two o clock barber shop appointment. New scene the woman who texted Kallan earlier is sitting by thd window with a woman friend. The friend says "Hi Derrick" she says "Hey Babe if you're going out there can you kinda look and see if there's an owls nest?" Derrick says "Hey...what?" She continues "There was a huge owl out there it would've got Pax" Derrick repeats: "What?" Rough comix excerpt page three of four: she sighs then replies "Pax only weighs a couple of pounds. Derrick: "OK, OK I've just never heard of an owl trying to eat a dog before, I've never even seen one out here!" Her: "It was in the tree next door it was like two feet tall!" Derrick: "I gotta spy on our neighbors now? Alright let me look up a photo of an owls nest...". Doctor Wode sits face down on the table in her trailer with a burned out votive candle and a near empty bottle of whisky: "Ïa! Ïa! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Hydra Y'hanthlei wgah'nagl fhtagn”. Hayden sits on the couch with the remote in one hand and his girlfriend snuggled up against him. She says "Sooo..." he replies "So?". Girlfriend: "Did you find out what the schedule is going to be?" Hayden: "Uh, yeah, we leave Wednesday and we'll be gone two and a half weeks" Rough comix page excerpt page four of four. Hayden: You gonna miss me? Her: Yeah...what time are you leaving? Hayden: That night, we're meeting up at seven. Her: Do you want to do something together that morning? Hayden: Yeah, sure. Doctor Wode dreams of the necklace chaning hands to the woman from the start of the comic, from a statue of an angel, from a bearded white man in a polo shirt and khakis on a plane, from an aboriginal young man in blue jeans, from an old time Chinese merchant in an office, from an Ethiopian merchant in a shop, from a Khoikhoi man, from a West African merchant in a market.
