And (hopefully the last link in this growing list), my Ko-Fi profile; https://ko-fi.com/rookmaevsch

I can't not mention the overwhelmingly lovely response to hitting that 100 page milestone, you're all wonderful ;-;

I've gotta' share some of the things people have made-

First, by u/Consistent_Ocelot_53 something that had me full on cackling for a truly unreasonable amount of time- https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wcytqc/fryedfulness_part_101/

Second, by u/keyboard_clack author of The One Who Got Away, made this! https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wcnhkp/happy_100_pages_hopefulness/

And third, but definitely not least, by u/Distinct_Passion7209 made this, which I thought was very sweet <3 https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wd0z78/hopefulness_fan_art/

On a more personal note. I say it a lot, but text is really terribly for conveying tone. I wish there were a better medium to express my gratitude to everyone who reads my scruffy comic, because it truly means the world to wake up each morning and see how many of you are enjoying it. <3

Dunno if it makes you feel any better, but I've just got to say that not once have I noticed a typo the first time reading through a panel. The fact that you can convey this level of story and art at the pace you are doing just the mark of a truly amazing artist. <3 <3

Edit: just going to leave my typo in. One good happy accident deserves another :D

u/Makez190 Sep 11 '26

Perhaps Biscuit just simply wants to live a more solitary life on the surface of the planet, while the others spend their lives in a more social underground burrow?

u/yourlocalidiot143 Protecc the Expies | Certified Onion Sep 11 '26

ohhh now that you mention it Biscuit doesn't know Stringbean's story does he

btw I heard that quote somewhere... didn't you say that before Blue?

5

u/bluewolf3691 Expie Sep 11 '26

I might have done? I've said a lot of shit over the last 86 days

2

u/Swimming_Article_281 Sep 12 '26

homie i dont think any of us have heard his backstory yet really

1

u/yourlocalidiot143 Protecc the Expies | Certified Onion Sep 12 '26

ohhh your brain activated dissociative amnesia mode and erased the PTSD-inducing scratch memories didn't it

3

u/Swimming_Article_281 Sep 13 '26

oh no i meant biscuits backstory though now that you mention it fuckkkk man i do remember that part of stringbeans backstory and holy shit that was grim

2

u/yourlocalidiot143 Protecc the Expies | Certified Onion Sep 13 '26

legit had me physically shaking ngl, that shit got me TERRIFIED for hours straight and I'm normally not affected by media at all (which I hate, btw, didn't even cry at Undertale, Omori, or OneShot's endings. Definitely felt shit tho)

u/Former-Copy5956 Milky Sep 11 '26

An amazing quote for an amazing webcomic

u/Drooken87 Sep 11 '26

"i wonder where they went?"
the cynic/dark part of me likes to believe at least one of them went to Teddy

u/Affectionate_Fan_337 Sep 11 '26

: O Brother why?

4

u/Drooken87 Sep 11 '26

Given the scientist here, it be "a waste of test material"
as horriable of them for making him that fearful of food

15

u/Chaos_Johnson Velvet Enjoyer Sep 11 '26

its nice to finally learn why biscuit is so dedicated!! since we have explored the past of everyone else this means, logically, orion is next... i wait patiently for his turn

“I wonder where they went.”

My guess is to the afterlife.

16

u/destroyer180407 Sep 11 '26

You know am curious Does this group have a name yet?
Because if we’re going off their DNA we can use a mischief for rats, skulk or a leash for foxes
We could also use school since milky have some marine DNA

Unless of course you already have one picked

16

u/frycandlebreadje Sep 11 '26

I just like to say group. Feels more human.

3

u/destroyer180407 Sep 11 '26

That’s fair

u/DamascusSeraph_ Sep 11 '26

Tedds therapy group + evil intimidating onion

5

u/SEA_griffondeur Sep 11 '26

Using dna for those names feels very wrong since they were given those names for poetic reasons not genetics

1

u/destroyer180407 Sep 11 '26

I was more listing them as a way to spark creativity and conversation on a group name it doesn’t need to be those

(It was also to share a fun fact about animal group names)

u/neske_khano Expie Sep 11 '26

I misread 51549 as sigma “I’d like to know more about Sigma.”

u/Bagabaga2019 Sep 11 '26

I read it consistently as sis49 😔

u/Vigodauzahh1939 Sep 11 '26

I hope if they ever appear in the story we can call em "Sis" for the funnies

u/yourlocalidiot143 Protecc the Expies | Certified Onion Sep 11 '26

I read it as bw3691

u/yourlocalidiot143 Protecc the Expies | Certified Onion Sep 11 '26

how the fuck did you pull that off

2

u/neske_khano Expie Sep 12 '26

In my defence: glasses + dyslexia

u/yourlocalidiot143 Protecc the Expies | Certified Onion Sep 12 '26

u/Own_You_960 Sep 11 '26

Okay, now I need to find somewhere pages 82 to 101, because my RAM will fry me because of the amount of reddit tabs in my browser

5

u/bluewolf3691 Expie Sep 11 '26

You could always view it on comic fury. That'd be a bit less taxing on the tabs.

u/omeggga Sep 11 '26

not to mention navigating with arrow keyes is just an absolute joy

1

u/Swimming_Article_281 Sep 12 '26

mostly just keeping track of all the different subreddit comics that puts stress on my tabs lol

What browser? In Firefox I can unload the tabs when I am finished with them but not closing them.

2

u/_Varinki_ Expie Sep 12 '26

It was already bandaged when they first appeared on page two.

2

u/Swimming_Article_281 Sep 12 '26

did we know where the injury came from?

1

u/_Varinki_ Expie Sep 12 '26

Possibly from the fall.

2

u/Swimming_Article_281 Sep 12 '26

thats what i was thinking too like waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when

u/Dingo4747 Sep 11 '26

101! Congrats on 100 pages. The best part of my day is reading these.

u/omeggga Sep 11 '26

"I always wonder where they went"

if two guards cleaned their cot then... shit.

2

u/Affectionate_Fan_337 Sep 11 '26

Hey blue happy to know that your feeling of waking up to our comments is the same as us waking up to your comics. Poor biscuit, they went to the farm blud.

2

u/Sol_Rosenbuddy Milky Sep 12 '26

Biscuit is such a sweetheart

3

u/Roblox_Cat Hopeful Sep 12 '26

A smart fella >:3

Heheh, me and my best friend have had so many moments of, “oh yeah, I never asked about that” with other friends around. Matching that feeling perfectly XD

Not much to say other than, nice friends to not wake up someone prematurely when there is not exact plan to be executed -w- nice, Orion the Snoozing XD

Thanks for being amazing :3 you deserve to wake up happy and see all the love <3

Don’t ya ever forget that >:3

Hope your snoozin is good :3

Love the comic still, and will continue to :D

3

u/Swimming_Article_281 Sep 12 '26

at this rate their just gonna stick orion in one of the foliage bags and be off with little issue lmao

2

u/Roblox_Cat Hopeful Sep 17 '26

Last few days have been pretty anxious for me and I just wanna let you know I’ve been thinking about your comment/comments(I see ya >u0 over there) you make some pretty good additions that are enjoyable :3

And while I ain’t really a decent artist, I needed a break from my main projects, so I made this little silly for ya.

​Your idea was just so right even if I can’t depict it the best XD

I tried, and it brought me great relief, so thanks for the time and little silly thought <3
(Sorry for ping or two I forgot the tail… I always forget the tail TwT)
