Panel 1
We return to Gertrude's private room. Gertrude stands behind Theo, who is sitting at the table absently playing with his food.
Gertrude: "…your Aunt Gale joined a group that takes in stray cats."

Panel 2
A close up of Theo's face, looking miserable and distracted. A forkfull of food held uneaten in his hand.
Gertrude [off panel]: "Apparently, feral cats are bad for the sparrow population."

Panel 3
Theo looks at his food distractedly, not really hearing what his grandmother is saying.
Gertrude: "Or wrens? I ~~~"
Her dialogue becomes illegible as Theo no longer listens to her.

Panel 4
Gertrude [off panel]: "Teddy, is something wrong?"
Theo snaps back to attention.
Theo: "Huh?"

Panel 5
Gertrude places her hand on Theo's shoulder, a look of mild concern on her face.
Gertrude: "You've been so quiet. Even for you."
Theo is unable to meet her gaze.

Panel 6
We see a closeup of Theo's plate, the food, drawn in loving detail by someone who enjoys drawing food maybe too much(?), is largely untouched.
Gertrude [off panel]: "You've barely touched your food."

Panel 7
Theo looks around nervously, trying to think of some excuse that doesn't involve admitting that he feels super ashamed of having been sent to hell, probably for excessive masturbation.
Theo: "Oh, uh – I ate a lot at the…"

Panel 8
Theo: "The big, you know…"
Theo gestures with his hand, trying and failing to remember of the word "plaza."

Panel 9
Gertrude looks down at Theo, infinite patience upon her smling face.

Panel 10
Theo looks away.
Theo: "They had a lot of food downstairs."

Site Redesign

As you can probably tell, the site is undergoing a pretty extensive redesign. The themes & plugins I had had been using for the comic were pretty outdated, and there is no non-pain-in-the-ass way to update them other than manually. So the site will be a mess for a bit while I fix things up.

If you are here to read the comic, you can head over here. I have to manually re-post most of the pages, so there’s only about half of the actual comic up at this point. But more will get added as I go through and post the archives

Update: So I figured out a way to import my comic to the new theme without having to manually repose everything. I’ll still need to go back and update all the pages manually to fit the new format and add in all the metadata (and figure out how to get that metadata to point to something that’s actually meaningful) but all the pages are at least up and readable now!
