Patreon comic for the month should be up. A little stuck as to what storyline to do for that so I thought I'd give a sneak peek at a five page bonus story for the upcoming Bohemian Nights compilation book showcasing an alternate gender story. Next month I think I'll start a small story with Devon and Annabel since they are pretty much shoved into the background while I focus on Emrys and Stephanie.
Crap. I hate it when I’m right. I just -knew- Stephanie was going to show up and take umbrage to Beth’s encouragement. On the one hand, I get that she’s likely picked up on Emrys’ affection for Beth (if she didn’t know outright, I forget), which would be irksome for many girlfriends, but on the other hand, trying to isolate your beau from all his friends is usually self-defeating. I just hope this doesn’t devolve into a nasty fight. π
By the way, really nailed Beth’s [physical] charms again in panel one and…despite my mixed feelings on Stephanie, hachi machi…she looks great (proportions all look good) in that last panel! π
This very conversation, regarding chasing dreams, feeling defeated, its one I have had with myself, with my friends, and with my wife. Thank you for writing and drawing this amazing work.
It’s been a tough one for me as well and for many years. All I can say is that it’s the process, not the destination that I have found truly matters. This is, of course, not always easy to achieve if you’ve been faced with roadblock after roadblock. All I can say is don’t give up. You may not make it to the desired finish-line, but that doesn’t mean the race was worthless.
There will be more with this type of topic with Mark after the current story-line as well.
That last scene was a littleβ¦ unsettling. π
No, I don’t think Emrys is “settling”, but I wonder if he couldn’t have found a more suitable job. I have tried sales work over the phone, and I just couldn’t get into it. It takes,I believe a more than merely a set of skills, but a certain kind of personality, which not everyone has.

Yup. That last panel of Stephanie did come out well. Everything just fell into place. -I wish I could make it happen more often. π

I agree. Sales over the phone is very hard and not everyone is suitable for it. I wonder if Emrys feels the same way…?
