So, the exhibition match gets mentioned for the second time here. It'll never actually be explained in what's left of the comic, but I do actually remember what it was about from being in the IRC channel where the comic was being planned back in the day—a televised exhibition match between a young Sabrina and a young Whitney (I don't remember exactly what ages they were, might have been while they were still kids), in which Sabrina whupped Whitney so badly that Whitney openly cried on national TV. So she does not want her current day girlfriend to know about that!

It was actually Red who whupped her on national TV, when she was 11 or something, but yeah. I'll post all that writeup when you've finished the comic in here.

If anyone was wondering about the fight scene, it's this extended sequence with breaks, The way I saw it it started with the robot, then moved to Casey, then it'll move on one final time, we're talking slight pauses for breaks, like Die Hard where you have to see how beat up he is before things continue

I mean it's pretty logical, you stumble into the Batcave below Wayne Manor, you're gonna conclude that Bruce Wayne has a lot to do with Batman. And then have cause to worry when you see a shitload of weapons in Batman livery. And Everett Ducklair is a pretty uh, weird and unpredictable character in-universe and out. Somewhere between Tony Stark and Professor Farnsworth building sci-fi superweapons essentially as a hobby.

I'm not sure it'd help to learn that the arsenal is in the hands of an unsupervised supercomputer and a billionaire's rageaholic nephew.

Yeah, and as we've seen, any goon in contact with a whistleblower can just walk in and help themselves to the goods. It's a real irresponsible setup, even if you trust the custodians won't use it for ill.

I really like the Ito cat comics because they're about him very quickly learning to love cats and they're basically like "oh look at these little cuties" but they're drawn with the same beats as his horror comics

plus one of them has a human skull on his back

Something really important just clicked for me about comic making, but it's so stupid that I didn't get it before, and I wanted to write it down.

https://twitter.com/pearl_boba/status/1544123136714493952

To sum up that thread though, I'm still rushing, but I figured out why, and how to slow things down. I'm not letting people be in the moment. Each scene I've done in this arc, each one could have had another... 3 - 4 panels, or even 1 - 2 pages more of space to talk, explain, investigate. I'm so worried that I'm being too slow that I'm going too fast, it's like.

You can look at Dominic Deagan and Property of Hate, and you can see the extremes of this on both sides. Deagan is too slow, nothing happens, snout's cock is out half the time, and even though there's no dialogue, it's all just fluff, uninteresting scenery that doesn't make sense while every once in a while snout journals. Property of Hate is the exact opposite, it's action action action, never explaining anything, you've just gotta keep up and accept you're going to be a little lost, but even with all their weird visuals, and not explaining anything, they talk and they don't just talk about purely the plot.

Then you take some really good comics, like Qualia the Purple, The lying thorsby comic, cursed princess club, and there's a ton of dialogue, like things happen yeah, but it's really the character moments and beats that make the story. Then take my comic out of 19 pages, 13 of them were fighting of some sort, 6 of them were just connective tissue between the two fights. And it's not like those are small pages, each page of my comic, daily, is between 5 - 12 panels. It's just way too much action without any real explanation for why it's happening. Marie was like that too, it was too scared to breath.
