October is here, and Softboy has already prepared his Halloween costume. However, he may have started an interesting discussion on whether or not toys need dress codes.

Fun fact: This comic contains a sneaky little reference to a Softboy comic I drew in my notebook a while back and shared with a select group of friends. I couldn’t redraw the comic for the blog, though, since its humor was obviously 13+. I thought I might as well smuggle the fun bit into another story.

I’ve chosen to dedicate this year’s Inktober (or whatever you call your daily October drawing challenge) to my new Softboy blog. Every day this month, you’ll get to see a messy notebook drawing featuring Softboy and Leo Lion. I will be using the prompts from this OC-tober list by user @tdnoodle-doodles​ because it looked really fun.

Today’s prompt is 1. “Their Regular Outfit.”

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.

Softboy always tries his best.

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.

Softboy doesn’t like to sleep alone.

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.”
