Issue 3
As predicted, things got a little hectic this past week, so I’m putting 4-22 on hold until next week. It’s about halfway done, at least!
See you guys then!

4-22 On Hold
“Los Quiero a Todos”
Ronan gets in touch with emotions long thought buried on Page 4-21. This is a side of himself he really needs to show more often, yeah?
Page 4-22 is underway, though I do have a couple engagements situated right next to it, so we’ll see what happens after that. Issue 4 is turning out to have a mind of it’s own! Lots of good stuff coming soon.
The World Map, Revisited
Elliott, Lee, and Ronan have a very brisk meeting with destiny today on Page 4-20! The siblings seem none too thrilled about it.
Today’s page was also a chance to bring up the world map! So far, five countries are highlighted: The Salemian Union, Amaerys (both of which were already covered in the previous Extras article I wrote), Marahoya (which has been vaguely mentioned a few times in the story already), Nukuria, and Pharaon. We’ll be learning about those countries as we go along. The other how many or so…maybe passing mentions in the narrative? Asappon, Lafrans, Dragomasca, Ladurana, and Svetalán have been brought up at some point.
I still need to do the rest of that article on the world map. One step at a time, maybe.
Get you someone who looks at you like
4-19 is up and we have a new character, Lado! You can learn more about him on the Characters Page. He’s actually a character I developed for a much older iteration of the comic and at one point dropped wholesale due to the sheer number of characters in the traveling party at the time. I figured we needed some more members of the Astral Conservatory to work with, so why not give an old friend his job back? Whaddup, Agent L-Deezy?! Glad to have you aboard once again.
4-20 (yes blaze it ha ha very funny moving on) is in the pipeline and will be out next week, barring any unforeseen outages. I had Techokami look under the hood and we’re hoping the problem is at the very least contained for now.
Site Troubles
Had some issues with the site the last week or so and as such, I actually WASN’T able to get 4-18 up like I planned. But it’s up now.
Since the comic wasn’t up as scheduled, I’m going to let the new page have a little time in the spotlight and push 4-19 to next Wednesday. See you then!
Sort of a Two-fer?
Page 4-17 is now up, but also, I completely forgot to post that Page 4-16 also went up last week 😬
4-18 will be going up next week, though I do have a bit of frustrating news to share…There may or may not be a hiatus in the coming weeks due to how bad this summer has been for comic creation. I’ll try to stave it off for as long as I can, and even try to get multiple pages done to have a steady stream of content. Apologies in advance!
I’ve taken on a lot of new responsibilities at work, so this aspect of my life has taken something of a hit, but we’ll see things through.
Vacation…I mean…*RESCUE MISSION* Planning
Page 4-15 is up and it seems like Renée has other ideas as to what’ll be happening in the days to come.
We’ve been having a bit of trouble with the server again. Not entirely sure what’s causing it this time, but we’re looking into the issue.
Taking a Step Back
Page 4-14 is up, and this one is a bit light on the humor, but for good reason. Healing takes time. This page shows us a more affectionate and introspective side to Ronan. Lee’s not much for talking about her feelings, but her emotions speak volumes.
Customer Service with a Smile
On page 4-13, we get to see Ronan smiling! Don’t count on this being a regular occurrence.
Things have been a little shaky as of late. I got sick again and that’s made it next to impossible to do anything. Balls.
Well, I’m on the tail end of it, so here’s hoping next week proves a little more productive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Detailed, Semi-Realistic Anime Food
Page 4-12, in which I wanted an excuse to draw anime food. A nice way to cap off Elliott nursing a slice of cake for 12 weeks.
There have been some weird outages on the site as of late, but we’re working on a solution to that. Sincerest apologies if you’ve been trying to visit the site lately and it’s been down 🙇♂️
Also, I’d like to take this time to thank everyone who not only reads Electric Fencer, but goes the extra mile to react to or leave comments on their favorite pages. Things have been really hectic as of late with my day job situation being in flux, among other things, so checking in to respond to or upvote messages has been the the little kick of dopamine I needed to tell me that we’ve still got a good thing going here. Thanks!
