(hey we’ve had a whole fucking pandemic go on since the thing ulrich’s referring to so here’s your refresher that they had an argument earlier.)

Sorry this page took a minute! I finally, FINALLY found a new printer for the books and I’ve spent the last week or so fixing like 500 individual print pages. The new ones look great though I’m super excited! I’m gonna make a real announcement about it once I can put them in the shop, after Momocon probably. Also I will be at Momocon in Atlanta this month! Neat!

I’m trying to remember to mention the patreon out loud more often, so if you’re enjoying the comic maybe consider throwing me some couch change or something. Another round of postcards are coming up so now’s a good time to hop on I guess! You can see all the ways to support this comic (including recurring paypal donations if you’re not into patreon) by clicking on the little button to the left that says “how can I support this comic”

Lastly, I quietly set up an instagram account specifically for posting page updates. I absolutely loathe instagram and will not be interacting over there, please continue to contact me literally anywhere else!

Thanks! <3

I wasn’t expecting the sexism.

Ulrich:
Yes well. That is what happens when you give your god a gender.
Defining perfection also defines imperfection.

Agatha:
She was just so. . .
I’m sorry I accused you of making me a project.
These people are exhausting.

Ulrich:
Evangelists tend to be that way when you look like you do.

Agatha:
How do I look?

Ulrich:
Angry. Unsure. Lonesome.
Easy meat.

Agatha:
I thought sapient machines were against their . . . laws, or,whatever.

Ulrich:
So if they can convert you, they can convert anyone. You are a handsome prize

Agatha:

Ah, I love the Ulrich+Agatha relationship SO MUCH. It’s this real slow burn where they figure out how to care for each other and I love all the little moments. ALSO I LOVE how you balance Agatha’s lack of experience with people with her intense insight about people. ALSO ALSO what experience does Ulrich have with evangelicals????

  I love getting to write little bits like this!! I’m glad it’s fun from the reader side too hee
  
  I appreciate that, it’s really important to me that Agatha is like. Believably a person who came from an incredibly weird isolated upbringing with all the associated baggage, without falling into something like the Born Yesterday trope? She isn’t stupid and doesn’t need to be babied or coddled, just needs some extra help navigating all the stupid secret social cues other people always seem to know about instinctively. Ulrich is sort of on the other side of that quest so he’s usually pretty good at recognizing it when it comes up hee
