Oh, right, Anthem actually wears plate armor and it takes forever to put on. The inn needs to install a bat-pole like in the old Batman TV show.

Obviously they got into a fight over the opals.
Kyle,
I am occasionally tempted to open a Twitter account solely so that I can respond to a few of your tweets.
Brain things has now joined my list of alternate-world psudo-names like far-speaker for telephones and transmission shops for people that will make eatheric broadcast transmissions for a fee (much to the confusion of our transmission shop clerks near dimensional rifts when the oddly dressed customers show up wanting to know how much they charge per word for transmissions).
Off scale agreement, Kirby was amazing.
NO!!! Seriously, do not try do the work of publishers/editors for them. Creators are notoriously bad judges of the quality of their own work. Please, as a personal favor, please please send your novel to publishers that might buy it. Let them decide if it’s good enough. If they agree with you, you’re out postage and much less time than you spent writing it. Please!!! Seriously.
Now back to the task of searching for the name of the character helping Anthem with her legging.
That is Arcoan, who has been stuck helping Anthem pretty much forever.
Kyle,
If you toss your manuscript out the window like that, I will shed bitter tears.
Despite the fact that I very much don’t share your politics (I’m still… allowed to read WPK, right?), the only time I’ve felt outright offended by your Twitter feed is when you said you were shelving your novel.
I’m sorry, but “not good enough” is a fucking cop-out. I get it, you’re frustrated from all that editting, and you want to wash your hands of it; that’s understandable.
But “not good enough” and “Kyle Marquis” are not words that I want to associate with each-other. If you won’t send it off for yourself, send it off for your fans.
Which you do have; I don’t think you recognize how good a writer you are.
Hm. Alright, tell you what: I will keep this novel in stasis until spring. New England winters are brutal and it’s hard to be objective about anything when everything in every direction is snow. Once some of this snow melts I will re-appraise, re-read, and maybe snag a few people as beta readers to see what the consensus looks like. Until then I’ll leave the manuscript alone and I won’t start harvesting it for parts. By the time spring rolls around, we’ll be on the last leg of WPK, which means the whole comic will be final-draft written and I just need to finish drawing it, meaning I’ll have time to consider the manuscript.
I hear you about the winter; I go to school in upstate NY, and I walk to campus.
Screw snow.
Thank you, Amechra.
