Well it's the first time I've drawn a slime/monster girl. Obviously the whole thing is amateur and scratchy as hell but I gave it my best shot. Not entirely happy with it but I said I'd post it so here it is.

I love it so much thank you, I also got a fanmail I'm going to post it with tomorrow, though I'm getting enough stuff (and a piece commissioned,) that I'm super excited.

I love Thorsby comics for panels like this:


It's a setup for things about to happen, but it's also a kind of visual gag: The conspicuous array of items in the background doesn't even try to hide its artificiality. But it still feels right for its context: These characters live in the world that narrative puzzles take place in. "Say someone who can see the future (in this very specific way) has cornered you in a room. In that room you have: 300 sheets of paper, six pencils, a frying pan, two knives, a doll, two rugs, a bowling ball, eight bowling pins, a sack of flour, a bucket and a top hat. How do you escape?"

I've said before that Thorsby comics definitely have a 90s adventure game vibe, complete with elaborate puzzles, complex magical abilities with certain limitations, even the general cartoonish aesthetic and tone. I feel like escalating farce is also definitely a genre that fits those.

It's very good, definitely denser and darker than most stuff in this thread, I'm glad you're keeping it to manageable vignettes, I don't think I would read it on my own, and I think I'd scroll past if you did longer posts.

<text from my website>I hosed up my wrist, because I was drawing for 8+hours a day, every day, with no rests or breaks, As of this post, I had done 87 pages in 120 days, releasing a comic every day for 1.4 days. I'm a posting machine baby! But also, I've now ground my wrist to dust and must stop. To make sure you all know I still love you, and that I'm still here, I'm going to be doing community spotlight stuff showing off fan art from the mailbox, discord, and twitter, if you want that to be you, well then... Message me! @pearl_boba fan@bobapearlessence.com Discord! Tiktok! Get in touch, I'm bored and in pain.</end text>

This one comes from SharpestCrayon, on Discord.







It’s been 2 days, so let’s do another round up of fan art and fan mail!

I don’t know how to handle fanmail! I asked the person and I’m posting it with the e-mail removed as requested, especially since like, I don’t want to blow up someone’s g-mail! That said, let me know if you want me to use your fanmail in the fanmail round ups!

(fanmail@bobapearlessence.com)



50 – 18 is 32, but there’d be 49 other ones. Which yeah, are all slimes, but not all 50 necessarily made it into the far flung future techno-neolithic apocalypse! In the bad old days, they’d be whatever gender they were bought for, but anyone who survived to the comic’s present day, would present as whatever gender they wanted, or no gender at all! It’s a social construct, they exist outside of it.

Next up comes from one of my favorite forum posters, CrocodileKingSaysNO on the somethingawful forums.



First fanart comes from a user on twitter. I might start posting one of these after lackadaisy :hmm:



Please keep this stuff rolling in, I love all of it, and your outpouring of love and support is helping me get through this lovely time. I didn’t realize how many fans there were out there until I really needed the love from them <3

I relate to this comic pretty hard. Never had an imaginary friend, never really got into role playing, my childhood was mostly a lot of "boy it sure would be cool if magic was real. It's not though and that sucks." A lot of my friends now are artists and writers and whenever we talk about creativity and childhood experiences I feel like I have to, ironically, make stuff up so I'm not just being a huge bummer

Okay, I'll bite and rant at the comic.
It is possible to pretend something, know that you are pretending, and still have fun with the pretending. My kid doesn't actually believe she's a monster when she says we're a monster family that lives under the dining table; but she still has fun with it. Kids don't necessarily believe in fantastical things, but they're more likely to go along with pretending.
Like yeah, no poo poo you didn't actually believe the garbage you dug up was real treasure. No kid actually believes that. And you still had fun? Gee, wonder if that was because of your imagination, or just the thrill of physical labor which kids are known to be so fond of.

Imagining this comic artist going :actually: when his friends came over and asked if he wanted to play cops and robbers.

I'm not even sure if his point is that he as a kid wasn't imaginative, or that kids in general aren't that imaginative. I'm not sure he knows either. The examples he gives seems to generalize, whereas the last line is subjective.
Either way I'd argue that he's wrong. Play pretty much always involves a degree of imagination.


E: Take that, comic author who will never read these words!
