Gotta have a nice splash page every now and then. Quite literally a splash page. Cuz, you know. Car wash.
Why am I the only one commenting on this particular arc? Some of your pages have 100-ish posts.
Come on, my dudes, it’s not THAT hard to type with one hand! 😀
Daphne’s smugly pleased with herself look here is… open to some interesting interpretations as well.
The reason is this: the car wash arc was a bonus that I drew with the initial plan of it running at the end of the Puck Volume 2 print book I had planned. The book never came together due to lack of general interest, so I later just placed this mini-arc here on the site. But the release of the backdated comics means they were never given a prominent place on the site. You only discover them by scrolling through the archive.
And now this site is the ONLY site that you can see this arc ever since Webtoon erased the pages off their site for ‘inappropriate content’. And not just ‘inappropriate for children’ – the site was already labeled 18+. No, they said they didn’t want this kind of material on their site AT ALL. A couple of bikinis.
Those Korean comic sites get positively puritanical over there.
Free speech and expression, as well as all manor of civil and human rights, are under attack everywhere… and losing ground steadily, especially in the USA, at least going by the shear number of news stories, and I worry our country will once again copy some of their worst ideas… or be blackmailed into doing so under threat of trade sanctions.
Ranmabooks.com also had to switch payment providers, and VISA and Mastercard are actually dictating the kind of content we can and can’t upload to our website if we expect them to process payments for our subscriptions (and I remind you, we only draw cartoons… of visibly adult or near-adult characters ). They’ve been cooperating with the unreasonable religious right in their misguided moral crusades for quite a while now. 🙁
It’s kind of shocking to consider we’ve been living in a sort of temporary golden age of rights and freedoms in the 1990s and 2000s… and horrifying to see it slowly coming to an end.
Well, it’s their platform. They control what they put on it. And fair enough. The payment provider angle, though, is more insidious and problematic. When a few large corporations control a lot of the goings-on around the Internet, you just need a few dominoes to fall and everything gets really nasty.
