(I lied about talking about Cursed today cuz I forgot about this, wait till Friday)
CAMEO/CROSSOVER INFO!
If you guessed those two characters in the second to last panel are significant to other comics of mine, you guessed right! …Well, kind of. Some of those comics haven’t come out yet.
On the left we have Quynh “Quin” Photius, aka Luke’s weird ex. He has a small cameo in The Psions but is otherwise unpublished, though he plays a significant role in someone’s backstory in Cursed and will probably have a main role in the webcomic I make after roomie (provided I don’t change my mind in the next four years). However, I do hope to squeeze him into another scene or two in roomie because his dynamic with Luke is pretty amusing. And despite the giant sunglasses, no, he’s not blind. Well, not entirely. You’ll find out. Eventually. Probably.
On the right is Rostislav “Rosty” Konstantinov. He’s actually the reason I threw in this reference (which was inspired by a scene in an rp), and I only decided at the last second who Luke’s ex was (originally it was a friend’s character from said roleplay, but our friendship kinda went south so I had to come up with something else). These two are definitely a terrible couple and Quin is definitely just in it for the money. Anyway, like Quin, Rosty is significant to a character’s backstory in Cursed, but right now that’s really all he’s planned for. But he may show up in other stuff, he’s really funny.
Luke: What are you talking about. I have tons of friends.
Mary: yea well…
Luke: last Wednesday I had my weekly D&D session with 4 others
Mary: you see…
Luke: and I hang out with my co-workers after work
Mary: yea but…
Luke: Two weeks ago you and I went to Randy’s birthday. You were there. And you tried to get him and I to…
Mary: OK, I am JUST trying to hook you up. Its like a harem game but the main character IGNORES ALL OF MY PROMPTS *LUKE*. IS THAT SO WRONG?
Luke: Just a little. Just a little.
And the bottom knives are super short in panel 1 are super short.
IS THAT SO WRONG, LUKE
Also yeah I’m not known for my dishware drawing skills
1. This Ex could probably be in an abusive relationship, so yeah, you gotta keep that line of communication open. (sending death threats to your boyfriend’s friend is a HUGE red flag)
2. I’m just gonna bet Luke knows a whole lot of interesting people.
Luke knows some r e a l l y interesting people XD
