Looks like Softboy and Leo may not be Chrisville’s only power couple…
Fun fact: The ideas written on the chalkboard- Monarch, Peacock, and Very Hungry Final Form- are all types of butterfly! (At least, this is what a quick Google search told me in regards to the first two) However, this doesn’t mean the Butterfly Bear will stick with the butterfly theme. There’s a lot of time between now and Halloween, after all.
Fun facts: This comic is based on a true story. I typically avoid buying bottled water, but a family friend gave me some not too long ago, and I didn’t turn it down. Even though I didn’t feel particularly thirsty, I decided to drink some before dinner. The way my body welcomed and embraced the water I was putting into it played out a lot like what happens to Chris in this comic. I have since learned that I should probably actively hydrate myself more often, and I wanted to spread this good, good message to others.
Also, yes, Chris is indeed making Softboy and another toy of his, Moth, play Battleship together. Chris got a lot of board games last Christmas, but the pandemic has been making it really hard to play them with anybody. Fortunately, the residents of Chrisville don’t mind getting a little competitive!
The topic of this week’s comic was actually one of three ideas that I ran by a few of my friends. “Chris drinks water” won by a unanimous vote.

Fun fact: This comic is based on how, while I seemed to constantly hear the Cha Cha Slide as a young child at every field trip and dance-like school event, I could never, for the life of me, remember all of the steps.
I’ve actually been sitting on this comic for quite a while. Since last November, it only existed as a series of sloppy pen sketches in one of my college notebooks. Until now, that is.

While this blog isn’t your typical “ask blog,” we’re always happy to answer asks! If it’s a simple question, then you’ll probably get a typed answer, or maybe a one-panel response. If it’s something juicy, though, your question could be the foundation for a weekly comic! (And if it’s a disrespectful ask/anon hate, your letter’s going straight in the trash. Return to sender, baby.)

Fun facts: Softboy’s intrusive thoughts show two moments from my thesis project’s trilogy- Dirk hitting Softboy (which is officially part of the comic lore) and Softboy being taken away (which remains only a fear in the comic canon).
See if you can spot the references to the NSP song “I Don’t Know What We’re Talking About.”
