Wedding? Congrats(good luck on your marriage and your new job)! I also dislike covering the picture with words, but then again, i doubt i put as much effort into my comic as you do(also, go ahead and do your things, dude, i got time to wait and i love this comic so far). Wordless comics are okay, but i think i prefer dialog
Thank you! Never thought I'd get married but... Life just keeps on lifin'.
I think the thing for me is - I'm still kinda treating the words and pictures as separate entities. I make sure to check on the words often when drawing and doing panel layout and such but I still can't clearly envision what they would look like as part of the whole image. And lettering is something I have the LEAST experience with by far, so I'm often most critical of it... since I don't know what I'm doing most of the time :P In any case, I'm really happy you like it! And I would really like to pick up the pace anyways, just for the sake of telling more of the story. <3

To your credit, at least the font and the bubbles kind of "fit" the comic, if you l now wjat i mean. Ive read some that dont have that correspondence and it can change to entire feel
Yeah, I tried using a program for the lettering but it just looked so mechanical, and I struggled to make it fit the comic (even after spending hours making a font out of my handwriting, haha... At least I have my own font now........). So now I draw it by hand. I envy those people who figured out a way to magic template something that fits their art style, because I have... no idea where to start.
And I hear you, it's really jarring when the lettering does not match the comic.

Bicentennial Gal is an absolute quirk.
She's definitely my favourite character right now. I love drawing her four arms.

Also, it's just cruelty to have to put word bubbles over the details you spent so much painstaking time to design... I just had to upload the page without words here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/53087289 (should be a publicly-accessible post?) because honestly you guys... I spent so long on this page.
I swear, my "Writing for the Graphic Medium 208" course ruined me when our prof made our first assignment be a wordless comic because that's all I ever want to do, it seems. Do you guys like wordless comics?
