So you might be wondering if I’ve made some kind of mistake, if you’ve been following along in the early stages of this comic. The answer is yes, but not exactly the one you think I’ve made. See, I re-read what I’ve posted so far and realized that no one really reacts to Opilione’s reaction and that is Bad Storytelling and so I’ve fixed it by adding another page between this one and page 11. This is now page 13. I blame Pregnant Brain for not noticing it earlier. Sorry about that.

This does not mean that the story will not progress today! Or, this week, at least! No, I pushed myself extra hard to still produce the page that comes after this one (which would, of course, now be page 14). However, of course the week I decide to try extra hard, I also got regular sick on top of morning sickness with the head cold from hell, so while I did draw two pages, I couldn’t move as quickly as I wanted and Page Fourteen still needs to be edited and have text and backgrounds added. Luckily adding text is easy and the background is going to suck more than usual so that won’t take much time, it’s just the editing that’s causing a hold-up. My hope is to finish it later today and post it, later today. It may wind up posted tomorrow, but I refuse to let it go later than that. It all just depends on how I’m feeling and if my minion spawn let me get anything useful done (mostly the “little explorer” who of course needs to immediately take possession of any drawing implement I’m holding regardless of how many implements I have already given him to hold).

Note: shading might’ve made it clearer, but Saul is summoning his riding tack with magic.
