Page 8 – Parlor Tricks
Vengari… is that a smile? Hmmm, a smirk is more like it.
I spent the a week and a half sketching out the remainder of the chapter on paper. So much terrible art, but it was terribly fun. :D
💥 “February’s Sketches” was posted this week on Patreon. 💥
Speaking of Patreon, my old iPhone 7 is slowly losing access to apps once by one. Since my phone is stuck on iOS 15, most of my important apps require iOS 16 or higher. I’ve lost my banking app, a few other productivity apps, and now Patreon. (I can still access my accounts on my computer, though having the apps on my phone was much more convenient.) Also, my carrier, Mint Mobile, sent me an email stating, “If you’re using a device introduced in 2017 or earlier, it may not fully support this update… Some features may stop working, including: Managing call forwarding, call waiting, caller ID, or fixed dialing numbers through your device settings or dialer.” My current phone was a hand-me-down from my mom, but it’s looking like I’ll need to bite the bullet and shop around for a new phone. (I need one unlocked so I can keep using Mint Mobile.) 😬
It would also be nice to have a phone that doesn’t need to be charged twice a day. 💀

ATTENTION! Will anyone read this? I’m not sure if anyone will. Eyes may see this block of text and glaze over it. If you are reading this, leave a comment talking about your favorite time of the year and you’ll get an apple. (I’m all out of cookies this week.) Now, on with the original message: If you want to support the comic, I strongly urge not joining through the Patreon app from Apple. They’ve added a ridiculous fee, which is taken from the amount that would go to me. I do have the option to increase my prices to offset this fee, but I don’t want to cater to this shitty Apple scheme. Instead, I wanted to give a warning to possible supporters about this blah thing.
