Four girls from everywhere.
A school in the middle of somewhere.
A city at the edge of anywhere.
A school story like you'll find nowhere else.

The Extras is a modern take on a classic boarding school story, a slice-of-life comedy / fantasy about the everyday adventures of growing up. Located in the City, the School of Saints Java and Hellbender is as much a character in the story as the girls from almost everywhere who live and learn there, and just as full of secrets.

I've been waiting a while for these next few pages! The Study Buddies are finally here!

You might remember the Hellbender Troupe from back when. Dewby hadn't been introduced yet, but we can assume she's there in the background. Or maybe she had something else to do that day and let her troupe handle it themselves.

When you first saw this flyer, and then you read Dewby's interview and saw she was into puppetry, did you think they were puppets? Well, that was the plan, until it hit us that it'd be way funnier (and easier to stage) if they were big mascot costumes. Years from now, I can pretend that this was all an elaborate, well thought-out feint and everyone will be amazed at our writing prowess. Until they find their era's version of the Wayback Machine and see this webpage and realize that it was a seat-of-the-pants decision. But that's okay, because the end result is stranger and more fun. I hope.

Also, Mallory's wings are folded up and under her coat.

We hope to have Book 3 out sometime by late summer! I'll have it with me for sale at whatever fall conventions I end up attending, as well as by mail, as usual!

Still always available: Stickers and other merch! You can order them and the collected books 1 and 2 of The Extras from Our Ko-Fi Shop! ComicFury creators and registered users, PM me directly instead to receive a special discount!

I like how even the Troupe looks shocked. Either they never did a dress rehearsal, or there's simply no being prepared for that.

ACTING!!!
Then again, yeah, no matter how many times you see those things, they're probably still nightmare fuel.
For years after, their hearts would begin to pound at the sight or mention of felt and googly eyes.

Ha-ha! A school live PSA!

When I was in my junior year, I heard, but unfortunately did not see the following.

During Mid-terms, a young woman (who was kind of an outsider because she was a bit of a radical environmentalist), stood up in my dorm cafeteria during lunch and began playing the flute.

When all eyes were on her, she began a short lecture on how to use the library catalog.

I think the crowd was speechless for a bit afterward.

Performance art in the wild! I give her mad props, it's a tough thing to get up in front of your peers and perform, especially at that age.

I did it! I rated the comic successfully! I figured out the problem. The font of the outside of the stars is the exact same color as the stars in my "ratings box". Therefore in order to give the comic 5 stars I have to click on the furthest right star (out of four visible) so it seem like there are NO stars visible! I don't know why this is. Nobody else seems to have this problem.

Stuff like this can pop up whenever a style is recolored. It's hard to even check all the details when choosing new colors. Worse, some code reuses colors so you can't recolor in certain ways without making something invisible, or at least terrible. I've had this problem with themable programs since the 90s.

Now I know what you mean. I've had this problem on certain pages, too.
