KEEPING TIME returns, as promised!!

#KeepingTime is a bittersweet bummer of a gay band romance that just started its 4th chapter, which means there's already 106 pages for you to dive into. #webcomics

Full page spread of a close-up of a bulletin board. A flyer that reads, "Chapter 4: My Father's Dreams" takes front and center of the spread. Around it, numerous flyers and business cards are pinned to it with colored thumbtacks.

There are now 3 full chapters (that's 106 pages!!) of completely free-to-read KEEPING TIME, the queer, slow burn between two former friends and now current bandmates who - for better or worse - fall in love.

#KeepingTime #webcomics

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com

A comic page from KEEPING TIME. Daniel, a Japanese American man, sits on stage at a grand piano and stares out in disbelief at Denver, a blond punk with a neck tattoo who looks equally stunned. A caption title says, "CHAPTER 1: 2:45 AM"

A second panel. Denver llifts the lid of a dumpster, while two figures stand behind him in a dark alleyway.

A third panel. Denver lights both his cigarette and that of Daniel's. Denver says, "I'm impressed, y'know," while Daniel answers with a, "Hmm?"

A final panel. Denver motions towards Daniel with his lit cigarette while Daniel smiles gently.

please know every time you get vaccinated and participate in herd immunity, you're protecting folks like my nephew.

we were celebrating the fact that now, at last, he HAS an immune system -- but he still hasn't been able to complete most of his vaccines (like his MMR), because those all got put on pause the moment he got his leukemia diagnosis and went on chemo.

the last time I saw him was when he and his parents were in the children's hospital and he was but a wiggly potato, and now he's a whole ass dude chattering away and running around and putting bow tie pasta on his socks and announcing he has bow tie socks

Lots of things are uncertain, my sinuses still haven't recovered from all the vog of my home island, BUT I got to hang out with my little 2-year old nephew last night who almost died several times fighting a rare form of leukemia that's now fully in remission, so y'know, life isn't all bad

I don't remember the exact details but I know one girl joined the show looking for love and basically decided she was going to marry Jushin Liger

Kody Okamoto @kodyisover.com · 3d

Also, I know I still have a lot of pro-wrestling folks following me, Jushin Liger and Togi Makabe show up to harass competitors and make their lives harder and it's just excellent from start to finish

I feel like more people need to know that Chiitan appears as a competitor in the 2023 reboot of Takeshi's Castle that has English subtitles on Prime Video. (if you liked the og Ninja Warrior/SASUKE where there's lots of comedy in the opening challenges, then know Takeshi's Castle is EXTREMELY that)

Chiitan🌈ちぃたん☆ @chiitan.love · 3d

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Ahhh, yes!! Definitely one of the manpu conventions I picked up over the years. I love using the inward/negative tail to indicate the direction of where the off-panel speaker is, too, just like a regular balloon tail.
