In honor of Day of the Dead, here’s a repost of my comic about the San Francisco Columbarium and the man who spent 26 years restoring it.

This comic originally appeared on Medium at The Nib. Go check out my other work there.

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

I didn't comment on the short because I found little reason, but this sentiment feels highly disrespectful

I'm not even a huge SA2 fan, but you can't deny that it was leaps and bounds above its predecessor in terms of cinematography and storytelling. I can assure you that everyone understood since the beginning how nightmarish the ARK incident was. If it wasn't because of the sporadic flashbacks Shadow got, or thinga like Lost Colony being shrouded in complete darkness... how about Gerald's diary? Him telling in fear that he's losing his mind? Culminating in the way he turning Shadow into a tool for the sake of his insane revenge?

There was no need for a flashy short to "get" Shadow's past. Its effects on him are visible.

Similarly, ShTH does a pretty good job in showing Shadow and Maria's relationship! In The Doom we see the day of the raid, and Shadow can help Maria rescuing the researchers! Maria mentions running on slopes with him! In Lost Impact Maria asks Shadow for help against Artificial Chaos on the loose! Don't you think it's enough? Did you need to see her caress his cheek as confirmation that they cared about each other?

Shadow's story was already cemented. He already went forward. The short was cool, but aside from adding Emerl into the vision (whether it was real or BD's hallucination we don't know yet), it didn't do anything new that 20 yo games didn't already do.

I don't like this sentiment at all. SXSG will be a nice treat, but it was never necessary for Shadow's character, by far the most fleshed out in the cast precisely due to the heavy lifting of old games like SA2, ShTH and '06.

Still in awe over this book- I started reading the single issue comics in junior or senior year of high school (I have a hard time remembering exact years) but then I fell off after 2 issues and wondered for a long time what ever became of that series I liked so much.

And to my amazement it was collected into a single volume book- but lo and behold! It’s expensive and hard to find and no longer in print!

Fast forward several years and I have found a copy of this magnificent book and I read and relive the magic I once felt when I was young. Oh, the joy of it all!

I'm making good progress with my graphic novel 'Low Tide'. The story is really coming together and I'm excited to see it start to take shape 👀

Main blurb (only draft for now):

Tom's life has always been a quiet one. He was raised by his dad, who died tragically in a boating accident, leaving him to take over the family business and become a fisherman at a young age. Having never left his small English village, Tom works long hours every day, isolated from other people and dedicating his life to his work. Knowing that Tom lost his father, most of the villagers sympathize with him and recognize him as a hardworking and kind-hearted - yet socially awkward - young man who keeps to himself. However, one stormy night, Tom's life takes a dramatic turn when he rescues a drowning girl from the sea. This event sets him on a journey that will change his life forever, revealing many dark secrets lurking just beneath the surface of the seemingly quiet village.

people love to use ffxiii’s messy development as a reason to completely shit on the game but honestly the fact they managed to sneak in so many little details in the gameplay in a way that reflects the characters and story despite all the miscommunication between the dev sections is just impressive to me

It was originally going to be an actual octopuses garden but I realized I'm bad at drawing octopuses, so pretend his hand is the octupus.
