Even just moving a family's belongings can take several days. It's much worse having to sort through their things and dealing with the all the emotional debris

One of the many things I love about this comic is how it is unapologetically willing to take a ton of time for mundane stuff and let things build up and come out in a way that feels really natural. Just two people cleaning up a house with a little musing on the side which then hits all the much harder because you've been distracted by the mechanics of it all.

Yeah it’s definitely set up to look like grandpa was gonna become villainous after understanding humanity but, psych, he’s actually a wholesome planet-spanning alien life form. You weren’t wrong, though, the antagonist is a water planet, it’s just the other one

Yeah! It seemed like the comic was setting up a "oh, you want to teach me what hate is? Well sure - time to kill everyone!" twist. I'm glad the grandpa planet didn't end up being evil, though!

:yeah:

It helps that the dynamic from the get go is fraught with emotional landmines. It's about as messy of a situation as you can get without veering into soap opera territory. Dead parents, sort of estranged aunt who has her own complicated feelings about the deceased, a teenager who still has to deal with being a teenager. There's a lot to deal with just under the surface and the plot gives it all time to breathe so when one of those landmines come up it's always unexpected and hits hard, even if it's very subtle and understated sometimes. Also helps that the two leads are very charming. You just kinda want nice things to happen for both of them

Since the current book of Dolmistaska just finished (well actually the last page of the chapter is next week, but the comic updates reliably enough and is responsible enough with the backlog that I know it won't skip an update), it's time to catch up.

I followed the author's tumblr where instead of Dolmestika updates I was getting lots of drawings of pouty lipped goth twinks instead.

I forgot how great this thing was. It's single handedly crafted the genre of "frozen spooky 80's anarchist turbeaux-Canadian dystopic Sony mall-punk." I got a surprise when I saw that it was black and white because I distinctly remembered the green and purple aurora light of the outside scenes, and the fading 80's brown of the inside scenes.
