Notes

After a little over three years, the main story is finally done. Three years of a work flow that went like:
10 Get time off from work
20 Decide I really need to finish this
30 Start chipping away
40 Remember that if the whole point of Deltarune is the player is the true villain, I'm drawing fanart for a game I'm an invader in
50 Get trapped in the limbo of wanting to finish this and not wanting to work on it anymore
60 Piss around on YouTube for hours on end waiting for the inspiration to come back
70 Realize I spent the day farting around on YouTube and got nothing done
80 Go to bed pissed off
90 GOTO 10

I thought about calling Part 1 "What Goes Around..." and Part 2 "... Comes Around" but decided to leave it to the reader to finish the sentence.

You may have noticed Ralsei only has four digits in these last two comics. After finding how much easier his hands were to draw and how much better they looked with only four digits in A Time to Think, I made the switch. Better late than never, I guess.

An early idea I had was Spamton and Zapaton's (again, not his official name, but I don't think he has one so that's just the name I made up for him) conversation went on longer and Spamton became agitated again, prompting Ralsei to pull his hair a second time and warning Zapaton that if he tried that a third time it would just make Spamton mad. I couldn't figure out how to do that without bloating the shit out of the comic, so it got cut.

In my very first rough (very rough, like back when I was still putting Spamton's dot on his temple for some reason rough) sketches of the comic, Spamton revealed himself at the pizzeria's table.

I think this route worked a lot better.

Thinking about how this would play out in-game, I imagined there were choices you could make that would affect Spamton's relationship with the kids and whether he forgave Zapaton, brushed him off, or even refused to talk to him at all. One example was at the mall, where you could send Kris in with Susie and Ralsei and leave Spamton by himself outside. Then when he woke up he'd be alone and freak out but calm down a little bit after finding Kris' cape, but it still upsets him. Maybe giving Spamton the cape was another choice you could make.
