– And thats the end of the intermission story! Thanks so much to Redmarlin for coloring these dozen strips. The current season will resume next week (one Weds. We’ll have some Monday filler).
– Guys, I’m trying to get 15 new subscribers for Combine so that the project can finally start breaking even. If you haven’t check out Combine yet please do (you can download the first issue for free on the Combine Patreon page). If you like sci-fi comics, or just my comics, then I think you’ll like Combine. The new issue of Combine will be available at the end of this month. Our new 80+ page full color format features new chapters of Ghost Kiss (by me!), Shutter Valley Record, The Last Cowboy and Devil Spy. Subscriptions start at just $5! If you haven’t tried Combine yet, now is the time! Subscribe here!
– Also, please check out the Kickstarter for Jamyz Bernard’s new Devil Spy book! Jaymz could use your help bringing this first collection of her post apocalyptic buddy adventure to print. You can check out the Kickstarter here.
Gina: …And… another Lego Batgirl… thank you. … And… what’s this one at the back here? How did it get here? Never mind, it’s *unwrap* a… complete Lego bat-cave! I didn’t know they even made these! This is better than all the rest of your presents combined! MUCH better!
Guests: 🙁
Prince Dragul: *watches through viewing portal thing* *SMUG MALICE* *malevolent chuckle* Now… *turns to survey throne room* I shall next create… a scale model of this palace! Vargas! Fetch me some more black Lego bricks! And have a space cleared in the corner over there! *supervillain pose*

There could have been two Batgirl Legos, but once again nobody listened to the good advice.
With one kit all they can play is Lord of the Rings, because Batgirl is a Lego lass.
I wonder, was that a typo for “i haven’t played this IN forever” or does she actually mean that, unlike other games, she hasn’t played it forever already?
Typo, sadly.
No, Jake, just say that’s how she talks. Nobody expects kids to follow every single rule of English.
Honestly Jake, this comic is an example of why I really, really like Modest Medusa (the comic, I mean, though I like the character too of course). Kids are a lot like the way you portray them… sometimes irrational and they can be hurtful, but also forgiving and with flexible minds, and generally they don’t hold grudges (especially not at that age).
Especially kids who have loving and supportive parents, or parent (singular).
I am really invested in the lore of Yeld too, and that part of the comic elevates it from the simpler slice-of-life style story it might be otherwise… but the slice-of-life stuff also deepens the character growth necessary for any story to be truly a fulfilling read.
I’ve been reading webcomics since I was thirteen, but after I got out of college I stopped keeping up with almost all of the ones I used to read on a daily or at least weekly basis, and cut the list even further down when I married my wife roughly five and a half years ago. I’d been reading Modest Medusa since 2014 or so, and it’s one of only three that I still check at least once a week (the other two are Girl Genius by Phil & Kaja Foglio and Gunnerkrigg Court by Tom Siddell, in case you were interested).
I am unsure if I’ve ever commented on any of your comic pages before, and I’m equally unsure as to whether you’ll see this comment since it’s buried in the archives rather than on a current page, but I wanted to thank you for making this. For making art that I enjoy.
My wife thinks it’s cute when you draw Modest cosplaying. Her favorite anime is DanDaDan, and she likes Momo and Okarun (in his transformed, “turbo granny” form in particular). hint hint! Haha if you haven’t watched the show, I really think you’d enjoy it.
(money is tight for us right now but if you are willing to take commissions sometime soon, I wouldn’t be opposed to paying for art involving Modest dressed/cosplaying as one or even both of them, especially as it would be a concrete, financial way for me to show support for the comic.)
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Drew. And thanks for your kind words on an ancient strip!
Maybe some DanDadDan art coming soon? I’m about half way through the anime.
Hahaha well fingers crossed on that!
And you’re quite welcome – re-reading the comic again has provided me with a lot of details that I had previously glossed over… and making ne remember things that I did notice the first time but had forgotten in the interim between reads.
I’m sure you will notice other little comments from the across the archives from here forward (if I feel like it, no promises tho! :3c
