In the Weird Luck webcomic, the biggest & most beloved holiday in the city-state of Tal Sharnis is called Salvage Day. It's a celebration of cooperation, sharing, & survival.

Agent Sojac's family consists of herself, her mom, & her sister. Mom & sister are bohemian & anarchistic, deep into arts & literature; Agent Sojac, the athletic & ultra-responsible Reality Patrol agent, is definitely the odd one out.

Most people assume that the orange stripes in Agent Sojac's hair are dyed, but they're not. Black-with-orange-stripes has been her natural hair color since she was born.

All 8 members of the Weird Luck webcomic's main cast are keeping major secrets and are very good at doing so... except for Charles.

The Weird Luck characters who've most often surprised me so far are Bianca & Angelica.

Interesting that they also happen to be the 2 members of the main cast who DON'T have Weird Luck!

Agent Sojac's mother, Natalie Sojac, is a beloved celebrity throughout the city of Tal Sharnis.

Agent Sojac is one of the few citizens who's NOT a fan.

We'll meet Natalie in Weird Luck Volume Three.

Dramatic moment from the very first chapter of the Weird Luck webcomic!

Agent Sojac's first confrontation with the mysterious Max, who's apparently got her confused with someone else.

Organized #crime is a major force in the city of Tal Sharnis. There are multiple crime syndicates, each with its own boss. We met the 5 East Side bosses in Volume 1 of Weird Luck; the West Side bosses don't play a big role in the story.

I don't dream of my characters often, but in the case of my favorite Weird Luck character, Bianca, that was what inspired me to develop her in the first place: she appeared to me in a nightmare when I was 8 years old.

So, look, I ran into a bit of trouble in the first volume of the Weird Luck webcomic. The second volume starts in January, and I'm still in kind of a tight spot. If you see me while you're reading, please send help?

In my professional opinion as a therapist, it would be best if you read the Weird Luck webcomic and joined the Patreon. A free membership will do, your engagement in the story is what matters. This is for your own good.

In the city of Tal Sharnis where the Weird Luck comic takes place, the most common alcoholic drinks are locally-brewed liquors & beers. Exotic drinks are the ones imported from other worlds––including wine, since grapes can't grow in the chaotic local climate.
