[Image description: 13 panels of a comic done traditionally using inks. The colours are vibrant and have a retro feel to them. Each page shows:

The title page. It shows the heads of two creatures feturead in the comic, Broomistega and Thrinaxodon. Broomistega resembles a stout lizard, with horizontally-tear shaped head, with no protruding features like ears or snout. It is mostly green with blue tan-like colouring. Thrinaxodon resembles a canine, with folded ears, a snout with whiskers and frilled cheekbones, and one fang sticking out its mouth. It is orange with pink stripes all over its body. On the title page their heads are shown side by side, with vibrant pink letters on top “Broomistega & Thrinaxodon” by Erin Roseberry.

Broomistega looks up, worried, at the raging storm in the sky. It stands on a dry land, but in the distance a wall of rain can be seen. It has pink liquid, perhaps meant to symbolise blood, on its head. Text reads “Do you love me?”

Broomistega is shown with big teary eye and the liquid flowing down its head, then its paw prints as it is headed somewhere. Text reads “Even like this?”

Broomistega stands at the mouth of a burrow, looking up at three creatures much larger than it; they resemble big wild cats, but without ears, and are green with brown panthera-like markings. A square zoom-in shows the big creatures’ mouth, with a Broomistega tail and blood between them. Text reads “Even though I am weak and small?”

Broomistega is now walking down the tunnel of the burrow. In the soil underneath the surface are fossils and bones. Text reads “Do you love me?”

Broomistega is now in the burrow, looking up at the Thrinaxodon that was sleeping prior to its arrival. It looks down on the Broomistega with half-lidded eyes. Text reads “Even now?”

Thrinaxodon is licking off the liquid from Broomistega’s head, both with their eyes closed. Text reads “Even though I could not be more different than you?”

A zoom-in on the grooming framed by the evolution line of each creature.

The two creatures are now sleeping side by side, as outside the storm rages still and the flood is starting to come near them. Text reads “Do you love me?”

The creatures’ heads are very close now, the storm and flood are getting stronger, and water is starting to flow down into their hiding spot. Text reads “I love you”

The water is now flowing in rapidly into the burrow, with the outside world being a big lake, and Broomistega smiles as it snuggles with Thrinaxodon. Text reads “Even here, at the”

The two creatures are shown in present on the comic and now. Their bodies are being covered by water. Below that, their skeletons, which remained in the same position as the creatures, are shown. Text reads “end of the world.”

Last panel. It shows the skeletal remains of the Broomistega and the Thrinaxodon. Purple text which frames the remains reads “250 million years ago, the Earth experienced an apocalyptic event, called “The Great Dying” during which 90% of life was wiped out and harsh desert enviroments spread across the planet. During this period, an injured amphibian called Broomistega sought refuge in the burrow of a sleeping therapsid called Thrinaxodon. The two creatures died in a flash flood, forgotten until their fossils were discovered in the present day, together for eternity. Sources: Synchroton Reveals Early Triassic Odd Couple… by Fernandez et al., “Locked in Time” by Lomax & Nicholls”

The text in the comic repeated for clarity: “Do you love me? Even like this? Even though I am weak and small? Do you love me? Even now? Even though I could not be more different than you? Do you love me? I love you. Even here, at the end of the world.”

Hello, today is my birthday, and I would like to share a comic I made in the last year with you. It's called Broomistega and Thrinaxodon.

This comic was originally printed with yellow, fluorescent pink, light teal, and violet risograph inks. Physical copies are available in my shop.
