Author commentary:

Hey, everyoneeeeee!! It’s time for.. uhh.. a new chapter. That is not quite a chapter.. and not quite an intermission..

I’ve been musing about this sequence a lot! This is actually supposed to be a canonical conversation that took place in Eternal Flame after Mike came back from seeing Lucy, but at the time I was REALLY fatigued by there being not one, but TWO phone conversations in the chapter already.. and I kinda liked the mystery.

I sorta wanted the information of this call to spill out in the following chapters as a result of me omitting it.. for the readers to pick up the pieces over time.

And that’s why these pages are done in the BCI style rather than made into actual pages. I don\'t plan to redraw this to insert into Eternal Flame! This is an optional extra. I still want to tell the story by having information come out over time (and much already has!)

Kinda show don’t tell in a way.. though there’ll be plenty of telling since a lot of this involves Sandy having to talk on the phone LOL

So why am I posting this sequence? Well, I think it’s a fun sequence now that I had time to think it over and polish it up into comic form! It’s wayyyy more fleshed out than the draft version that was posted on Patreon (Join for more cool bonuses like that.. there’s other sequences I’ve canned before and put up there… i can also draw you birthday requests)

And the OTHER reason is that I’m traveling a lot so I needed an excuse to create quick buffer because the next chapter is going to involve a lot of complicated mall backgrounds HAHAHAHAHAH

But I think people will enjoy seeing a little more of Sandy come out here!
