This story actually happened to a good friend of mine. And I impudently used it for this comic. And it sparked the idea for the next four episodes. Thank you Hannes.

As this kicks of a five part story-arc I will, again, do mid-week postings. Meaning the next episode will be posted on Wednesday, 20 October.

On art: This is the last episode I had drawn the lineart on paper and the first I did 100% digitally. “What?” you ask. And rightly so. But yeah, I used pen and paper, scanned the inked lineart, did the layout… and threw away everything and redid the whole comic with my wacom tablet. Almost exactly as I did it on paper. I assume I had a pretty good reason for doing so. I just can’t remember what reason that might have been.

If you have not figured it out on your own yet: You can always click the picture to open it in its original size. Just saying…

And as I pointed out before on other platforms: Kayaking is fun, actually. I chicken out of the whitewater part, though.
