RAIL vol 1 page 3
🕑 Added 2025-03-13 18:25:23 +0000 UTCNew page with our doofy dogs! :3
I'm feeling pretty good about my new methods of madness with this volume. During my break, I tried to brainstorm minimizing burnout while staying consistent in posting, and I've been breaking main comic work into three chunks of labor- Sketch/Linework, Flats/Body shading, and Background/Finishing touches. There were several times where I'd simply try to rip through the comic pages in as long of work sessions as possible, which led to me feeling horribly mentally hungover in between projects. So hey! Forced moderation may be a win for all of us.
You also might have noticed I added the title and my Patreon link on the bottom of the page. I figured that for online posting that this would be mutually helpful- readers can immediately see which book the page is from, and those discovering the comic through leak sites can trace it directly back to me. Yay!
I'm gonna let the pendulum swing back and forth between Curse of the Were-Coop and Rail, so expect a stinky wolf post next time a new comic page drops! 🐾🌕

Fletch and Waldren are friends. we have seen them interact in several flashbacks. Emery is already an investor. This isn't weird or manipulative behavior. I suspect this is just pointing out the clash between Emery's laid back vibe and Fletch's in-your-face intensity. Emery obviously isn't jealous when Waldren recently pounded the hell out of Andy whilst Andy was simultaneously invading Emery's butt.

Gotta love Noah’s reaction to Fletcher’s presence 😂
Verager
Appropriate. However. rest assured that he is not a threat. He's giving good fan service to his gullible client, but Noah is the cutest bean to ever exist in any timeline, and Waldren appreciates that when push comes to shove. It's why his thing with Andy didn't end in abject disaster. He's a prize because he actually cares.
Verager
I literally can't imagine a better set for him, honestly. Perfect fashion for the subject
Verager
Didn't think Andy was the first person I'd see stripped naked instantly. Good writing! I'm looking forward to how this plays out~

No kidding. If you're over like 28, you're just a wallet. Which sucks because I'm over 40!! 🙃
Arc
Good point. I'm putting my money on absolutely.
potionkicker
I hope Fletcher's outfit reveals his backside... That'd be everything
Artufex
He needs to turn around, I wanna see if those chaps are assless
Arc
THE MONEY BULGE 💀💀💀
Jackaloo
It’s THE continuing storyline of Interns. I closed that arc with four books and did a title change is all!
jellybones
...wha...? i was talking about how heavy the lines were in relation to the scale of the face and how it wasnt rendered in the way he does most of his stuff. its a more "graphic" style that i really like.
rider.break97
So wait is RAIL a side story or is it the next chapter of the Internship storyline?

This is so sad, as a 21 yr old on the furry community sidelines (someone who likes the idea but watches from afar) I hope you find that group of ppl that accept you regardless of age because that’s some horse shit right there
R@nD0m_dUd3.
I read this in Tyler Perry’s Madea voice and I died 🤣
Ernesto Romero
I feel that that may be where the story will lead to showing them as, but I think it’s too soon to tell.
Eppy NWS
I feel like they have a peak frenemy relationship in that they both adore Emory and grudginly respect each other but simply cannot exist in the same quarter mile without at least a hearty attempt to take the piss. ("hey, don't stand here where it's loud and Noah is going to just hurt more and more as he's on his feet, come to VIP where you can hear yourselves think and sit down" is actually EXTREMELY thoughtful but he has a douchebag pornstar club owner persona to maintain so....)
Atari Doge
I Will Destroy Fletcher For That Treatment of Noah i Swear to the LORDT
Gecko
I'm so happy to see all these characters again!! As for how you want to work on it, whatever makes you feel good is always the top priority so no stress there
Kyle Gaymer, Beary Rookie
I can tell that Noah wants to punch Fletcher, he hates being around him
Wyatt Fons
gosh, i love walden and fletcher together, but be nice to noah! don’t think it would really happen now, but would’ve loved to see walden/fletcher back before he’d found noah
Karmakat
that outfit makes me want to bend him over since his chaps lol
Marcwolf
Poor Noah. I know exactly how he feels. The gay community is very cruel to their older members.
Marcwolf
Oh no :) it is absolutely perfect. Just you all wait till you are older as see how the gay community treats you. Even now at Furry conventions there are the under 25's who mutter that any Fur over 30 should hang up their suit and slunk away. And heavens forbid you are 64 like myself cause you Must be a Ped or something....
jellybones
damn thought i was clever
Ishandia
I read the comic where Noah tells his backstory. They show when Waldren and Fletch meet. It made me wonder if Waldren and Fletch ever hooked up when they first met. That would be a cool scene.
Jackaloo
He's definitely not haha Fletch is in his mid thirties
Ishandia
My head cannon is that Waldren and Noah are in their early to mid 50s. Fletcher is in his mid to late 30s. He's a former porn star and still got it. Everyone else is in their early to mid 20s.
Ernesto Romero
Yet, he’s still flirting with River as the last page shows, and he’s acting like an anime villain here after he said he was afraid that Coop would embarrass him if he put him on stage. Until Fletcher’s nature in full is shown, from my end, all bets are off.
Lurkybot3k
If Fletcher ever goes being the usual ribbing (or makes a move on Emery) it wouldn't be out of the question. Fletcher has some standards though, as we saw with River. He's got more going on than the persona he puts on for everyone.
Ernesto Romero
Usually I like seeing purple and black on someone. Here? Makes the douchebag look as sinister as his behavior suggests he is.
Ernesto Romero
Only River’s was ever said outright, as far as I can remember. They said that they’re 22 years old back in the first story arc.
jellybones
also noahs face on the bottom panel is an extremely unusual move for jackaloo but what damn great execution.
jellybones
have the ages of these characters ever been solidly described? im wondering if fletcher is just tommy who changed his name after the accident.
Xavier Redstag
Fletcher! You god dam sexy douch bag!
Ernesto Romero
Makes him look like a villain for a superhero comic or anime. He looks like he’s up for fighting Batman or something.
Ernesto Romero
I agree. Fletcher’s just using him. Noah sees that, but Emery does not. Not a good omen.
Damie♥
Crazy outfit from Fletcher but I like it...
Damie♥
I don't think the attraction is mutual tbh. Fletcher just wants to spoil an investor.
Ernesto Romero
I don’t think so. Look at his face in the last panel.
Ernesto Romero
Her look reminds me of Yoruichi from Bleach.
Max Freeman
Oh, well, Noahs okay with this
Ernesto Romero
By this, do you mean, Noah not knowing about Emery’s crush on Fletcher? If so, Noah already does know that. He told Andy about that when he had a threesome with Emery and Noah.
Jem
Of course everyone's talking about Fletcher but...goddamn, Chels...
Max Freeman
I don't think he knows about his boyfriend’s secret crush
Ernesto Romero
Why do I feel like Noah’s gonna give someone a hard slap in due time?
Ernesto Romero
And he was all up in arms about saying Cooper would embarrass him on stage. What. A. Load.
Ernesto Romero
Noah’s already showing how he feels about it. Which mirrors how I feel about this.
Ernesto Romero
Indeed.
Ernesto Romero
And Fletcher has officially become an anime villain. Or just the Joker. Where’s Batman when you need him? And Noah just reminded us how he and Fletcher don’t like each other. And Fletcher’s trying to swipe his boyfriend off him. Reminds me of why Emery gives me bad vibes. This already does not bode well.
Max Freeman
It’s Emery’s crush finally meeting him, wondering how will Andy and Noah feels about this
PrincessOfChaos!
Fletcher really takes being a Douche to whole new level
Dustin Money
Ok fletcher..:what even are you wearing?!! Oh my lord 🤣
Onyx
His name is Noah. I still hear Principal Lewis in Fletcher tho
Grey Archer
Literally can never hear anything, energy as high as the social anxiety, and the feeling that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be while also being out of place.
Bossdog
I like Fletchers jock. :D
Lurkybot3k
Heeeeey... be nice to Gramps!
pokediginut
Ahaha the club vibes are so real and accurate
