That break was definitely much needed. The pain in my hand is all gone and I was able to draw without any discomfort!

As well, thank you, for the sheer wave of support and positivity you all gave me during that time! It's been three months since this comic began, and it still feels so alien to have so many voices cheering me on. You people are all far too nice <3

That said- Over the last few days there's been a number of wonderful things I must share-

First up, a doodle by u/Livergg89 of Teddy getting EXACTLY what they deserve https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wjufv7/yes_teddy_you_deserve_better/

Second, two truly beautiful pieces of Orion, by u/JustChickNugget ; https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wknags/orions_dream_art_by_justchicknugget_me/ And by u/Timyc10 https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wlkfev/dream_of_betelgeuse_hopefulness_fanart/

I cannot overstate how heartwarming it is to be the recipient of such wonderful works, thank you <3

I swear you people are so fucking jaded and cynical.

HAVE A LITTLE FAITH. THE SERIES IS CALLED HOPEFULNESS >:(

Anyway. I got up extra early to finish this page because I was really excited. It is, by far and away the most drawing heavy thing I think I've ever created. And it's also the first page to feature all four of my goofs all at once!

In honesty. I don't think I could ever truly do this scene the emotional justice it deserved. A tearful reunion is not something I've ever personally experienced. But, I'm still happy with the result <3

Forgot to add, this is the music I listened to while making the entire page. At this point, I consider it the 'Chapter Song' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gokpwGKOk1g (PMD: Refugees)

Oh yeah, another thing I forgot to mention; If you are worried that the reunion is the "end", think again. I didn't hear no bell.

UPDATE The Third! I have now uploaded the comic in its entirety to ComicFury, for those who can't read the comic well on Reddit or Bluesky; https://hopefulness.thecomicseries.com/

I fully intend to resume posting to all three places, however!

First up, by u/AntiTankGuidedPancke https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wqkn8f/hopefuleezer_pls_do_not_execute_me_with_sound/ I know you're anxious about your work, and its quality. But I absolutely love you art. It's always such a nice thing to see <3

u/Clavis-Expie-12153 also dropped one of the coolest arts I've seen lately, with a plate-armoured Expie; https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1wql2e7/turtle_the_just/

It also occurs to me that I never once pointed anyone towards this, by u/DracomancerWill a catalogue of comics here on the subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/casualtiesunknown/comments/1w0nlks/casualties_unknown_comics_catalogue/ I know it's pinned at the top of the sub, but I feel it's still worth drawing more attention too.

It breaks my heart to have to do this, but I will be taking a break from the comic for the weekend. The streak doth come to an end. 93 days after it began back in June. But, you know what? I had so many double upload days at the start that I will consider that 'bought time' as far as my streak goes. So this weekend off doesn't count! I make the rules!

Anyhow, I've developed a pain on my right hand on the thumb joint, so I think that's the universe telling me to rest. And I shall heed the call. I don't want to bugger up my drawing hand forever.

The comic shall resume come Monday, providing no health crises, or other delays or issues! I'll be around, obviously, but yeah.

I had intended to make this page a bit longer, but I somehow managed to trap a nerve in my neck while sleeping. Eventually, I had to call it quits and make the page shorter because I would very much like to lie down for a while.

And before anyone panics, don't worry! I didn't force myself to draw until I was in agony. Nor did I feel like I was under ANY pressure to draw while in pain.

I drew cause' I wanted too. Cause' it's fun. I'ma go take some paracetamol now and have a snack.

I woke up this morning after 3 and half hours of sleep (which is a lot for me) feeling like I have the flu, without having the flu. Everything aches. But like hell that would stop me from drawing my precious little critters.

It also rained for the first time in almost 3 months. Which is great, but holy shit 65% humidity is HELL right now.

Also, I can safely say that one of you managed to get an absolutely perfect read on Orion a few pages back. So, first of all, get out of my head. And second of all, well done!

I won't say who. So, that much will be up to you to figure out :)

Here it is, the big 100 milestone!

I swear the universe was conspiring to prevent me from completing this page- First, my PC crashed and deleted all my work. Then I was constantly being grabbed for dozens of mini-crises (Like on of our remaining cats taking a huge steaming shit on my sister's bed). Then I had to go an sit with my mum in the fracture clinic for a few hours. (She's doing fine and is recovering well. She broke her foot not long after I broke mine back in June)

I'd wanted to make a longer page. Or do something fancy for it, but with how much the world was fighting to stop me, I decided that I would stick with 'good enough'. There is some fancy stuff planned, but not for a little bit :)

It feels odd to have to mention this, but I do feel like a line needs to be drawn in the sand somewhere;

I know most of what was posted on the last page was jokes and japes. But, given that this is the internet, and there's always a non-zero chance of someone being deadly serious; I am NOT okay with people creating NSFW of my characters. I can't stop you from doing it, obviously. I'm not your dad. But I want to make my stance on the matter clear.

I'm completely okay with the jokes, the memes and the laughs, lord knows I chuckled a LOT at the comments from yesterday's page! But that's as far as that line goes.

Look at all those disgusting rats.
