I think I've got the costume sale and Vanport out of my system?

One contradiction of "watercolor journal comics" is that they sometimes take long enough that by the time I'm ready to post them, the thing happened a month or two ago.
This comic had some slightly painstaking digital fixes. I was originally smiling when I said "It's too late for me, but I can still help." After drawing it that way, I realized I wanted a more serious expression. So I drew a different mouth-line in pen, and used the stamp tool in Photoshop to cover the smile lines with the same color and texture as the rest of my face.
I also realized too late that the second-to-last panel border cut off the back of my skirt and the heel of one boot in an awkward way. So I decided to make it a borderless panel, and scoot the figures and word balloons over to the right. Thank you, stamp tool and lasso tool. I'm really happy with how this turned out!
I usually don't do full-page newsletter cartoons, but for the second time in a month, I couldn't resist:
Not pictured: Roger wiping down surfaces in the dressing rooms, and opening the weird old-timey windows for ventilation.
I'm going to miss the hell out of this quirky building when our lease ends. We actually had a party there Wednesday evening, to officially announce where we're moving in the fall. Here's the info, if you're curious!
Thanks, as always, for supporting me on Patreon! I don't have a different way to say it every week or three, but it really means a lot.
Also, happy Solstice!

Ah, these seem like worthy goals, potentially fun. Concierge belongs on your CV!

Yeah, there's a lot going for it. I hope it's easier for more people to take public transit to classes/shows, cause parking sure isn't cheap! Now I have to find a new "regular" coffee shop, and figure out which restaurants I can recommend (RIP Dick's Kitchen in NW, which satisfied every requirement for feeding a big group of people with wildly varying tastes/dietary requirements after a show)...

Cool! And what a fab new location!
