I have been SLACKING on my Ko-Fi page updates and I'm very sorry about that! Life is still stressful. 💀

Anyway, finishing up the Schism screenprint for Sticker Club for this month with Kit.

November, I start suburban Sherwood backyard critter stickers!

Thanks to the power of the Wayback Machine, Schism's original run started May 7th, 2002.

Its reboot launch date is July 14th, 2025.

Just 23 years later, no biggie!

A fun webcomic question for ya:
What month did you publish your first page of your webcomic? What date is its anniversary? 👀

Leigh @newbabyfly.schism.org · 1d

So I don't really play D2 anymore, but I have a LOT of D2 shirts I still wear regularly and i know I've caught a long time dedicated player when they recognize me for my Braytech Werewolf shirt of all things haha.

12:20 and I'm finished up my shading for the second comic page for tomorrow's update yet again whoops!

But having a deadline keeps me accountable. Without one, I might end up putting it off and and off, and I don't want to spend another 15 years thinking "man, I wish I finished my comic!"

I continue to look like a absolute weirdo by jumping up and down, clapping my hands and such under a tree in the backyard trying to scare off the baby hawk because my crows called for aid.
