Finally, our first multi-part comic comes to an end! You can read Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 over here.

Fun fact: I realized that in the previous parts, there were a few moments where Softboy wasn’t holding the Dick Deadeye hat. I decided to make these errors an official part of the comic by having Softboy canonically drop the hat.

Also, this is the first real story-related appearance for the Butterfly Bear! Their Josephine costume is based on the HMS Pinafore production that inspired this whole comic.

We’re back to our regularly scheduled programming with Part 4 of our first multi-part comic, in which I apparently decided to not use any backgrounds whatsoever. You can find Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, and Part 5 here!

Fun facts: If you’re wondering who is directing the Chrisville Theater Society’s production of HMS Pinafore, it’s (obviously) Chris. However, it’s not unheard of for a toy to direct a show. 

In panel 5, Chris is reading the Gilbert and Sullivan treasury that can be spotted in Part 1.

Since I was running out of time to finish the comic this week, the penultimate panel contains a modified reused illustration from my thesis project, The Adventures of Softboy Pillowman.
