I feel represented by the "It's true" being included :) It's one of the more informal forms of reacting to a sneeze, somewhere between "Gesundheit" and "Achoo"
Credit to Pam for this week's script, and for finding that fact. We're glad we could represent you! Could you tell us some of the countries where this is a common saying?
I actually only know about Hungary, but it's pretty common here
Good to know! Thank you!
Do you know what this is? Effective world-building. Tells us a LOT about the society and the characters in a single page. Well done.
Thank you! We love being tour guides, and so do the students!
And it's about freaking sneezes! But it says a lot about the world and the people.
Exactly! The thing I always tell people is that stories don't have to have world-ending stakes to be interesting. A story doesn't have to go all big and significant. Look at the small things, the odd and the striking and the everyday wonders.
One of my mandates in Gilda And Meek is "The Adventures don't actually matter." It's the characters farting around with each other and having deep conversations about philosophy which is what the story is actually about.
Gilda actually only saves the world twice (and the second time hasn't happened yet). World-shattering stakes only matter if they are rare.

Exactly. Whatever stakes you have, building up to them is important. Having relatable characters that you can root for is paramount. Whether it's a battle for a part in the school play or a battle for the universe, we have to care about the people in the battle.
I couldn't agree more.
"Nose paper" makes so much sense! I wonder why that isn't a term used in our world.
The old word for facial tissue in Japanese is actually 鼻紙 ... hanagami, literally "nose paper." But everyone now just says ティッシュ - "tissue." How about in other languages?
If we all start saying "nose paper," maybe it'll catch on.

"Nose Paper" it is from here forward!
We can practice this summer during convention season! Bring the pepper shaker!
Okay so I got intrigued by the sig on the forum, blinked and suddenly I binged all the available pages in one go. I am hooked, I am in love with all the main four characters and also Rosalinda, and the journal/interview/lore pages are a great touch. Also watching Nita figure out she's not in Canada was a journey and I am FASCINATED with the way Shelby's brain works. And with the way Patience speaks and navigates this world (what do you mean "after", huh?). Also also I might have turned the page where Chantilly gets the black ring before it fully clicked in my brain and then frantically turned it back like "WAIT I HAVE THAT I SEE YOU", ahah.
Anywho, great work, kudos to the authors, I'm overjoyed that this is the first comic I read on CF <3

Wow, thank you! This really made the whole team's day. Thanks for reading and we hope you'll stick with us for what's coming up!
Shelby is adorable here with this tissue box. :-3
I love drawing Shelby.
She's such a fun character!

Yes, Shelby decided to place her finger there. Completely intentional.
I wonder what the City term is for toilet tissue? Hmm...
