[29] Repulsive Development
It's nothing too elaborate, but it's more than I'm used to. I wanted to try drawing a bunch of characters in some kind of situation.
Psar: This attack was originally going to just be Fizz stomping his foot and being generically Angy before I had the idea to make something slightly more elaborate. Fizz was a character I wanted to draw last year, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with him at the time; I think I'm more in the understand zone now (1) because I talked to SadColor about him and (2) because I looked at the stuff you recently posted on Toyhouse, which I think is really good. You can probably deduce that the Toyhouse drawings of Fizz without a shirt on are why this comic has the punchline it does. I redesigned his robes a small amount because I think the bit works a little better when he's not wearing a lot of metal accessories; it should hopefully still be designer enough for him…
Redo: Hey, wait! That's me! I had no idea you could attack your own characters like this. Mar is in this comic for the same reason that Fizz is, but none of those pictures are public, so you'll have to take my word for it.

SadColor: I'm keeping in the spirit of comic attacks, I guess? I figured that having one of your characters deadpan here would be fitting for multiple reasons, and I had also been wanting to draw Key because I think their new design is awesome. Key works nicely because of their relevance to Aya (who is relevant to Fizz), and also because they're presumably made of metal, giving them more of a reason to be fed up in this scenario. They're "tranquil," so I don't imagine them to be the no-nonsense type, but the secretarial duties might imply an orderly sort of disposition, and getting dragged around by two FOOLS all day would probably take a toll on anyone regardless. I'm not entirely sure what the implied context here is… I guess Aya was supposed to be here and didn't show up for Aya reasons, leaving Key to take her place. I'm making a lot of assumptions about Key based on their new design, but I'm hoping this interpretation is fun, at least. I was tempted to bring back the fishnets as well, but it didn't feel like the right time for them… maybe another day…
