I had some great suggestions from readers on possible steps to take to improve the comic in 2012. Thank you!

As a reminder, I'll be running a 'Q&A' series when this storyline is over. This is the sort of thing they do regularly over at EGS and Doonesberry. I thought I'd give it a try as well. However, it won't work well if I don't have questions! I have quite a few but all from a single reader. I'd like some represented diversity. Have a question about how the arcana work? How key powers work? Character history? Let me know! Email questions to mysteriesofthearcana@gmail.com. Alternatively, those of you on twitter can send a private message to J GrayWebcomic.

Thanks!

Heh, I just looked back at the Relaxing interlude with her mom and Kludge because I had forgotten about the half-blind thing. It seems that was also some foreshadowing about the current events when it mentions Chrys' tendency to decide what's best without consulting others.

It'd be funny if Chrys was sent to that arcana because Circe knew where he was.

And here's a question for ya. Are we gonna see Mandrake's home arcana in the future? Or have the group all visit Theresa's/ours?

well those suggestions just gave rise to more questions from me but i think i better hold off and let others have a turn ^^;

After the holidays, a wave of the flu swept through my family. It knocked me off my feet for a while and then traveled on. Long and the short of it? It can be very hard to write when dealing with rebelling stomachs. Gennifer was nice enough to send me this filler piece to round out the week.

Next week, we'll be finishing up Chrys's storyline in Two by Two and then there'll be a special treat for all you Chrys/Theresa shippers!

Hope everyone's feeling better Hoss. And yeah, 'Ressa would be the one with the .45 Thompson. Nice image Gennifer

Glad everyone likes this.

It's a good picture but you could have drawn anything, Gennifer, and called it noir. A noir film is called such because of how they did the lighting back then (translating to shading for pictures), yes, most gangster movies were/are noir but not all of them can be called that.

Ayshara (Guest) (2012-01-09)

If you want a recent example of how noir is meant to be done, look up the first episode of the anime Noir and pay attention to the animation instead of the story line, especially in the scenes inside the half completed building.
