Everybody Say Hello to Otter 937!

Via Shedd Aquarium, which writes:

Wave hello to Shedd’s newest temporary resident: a young southern sea otter, currently known as Otter 937, a species listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
 
Rescued off the coast of California at 2 weeks old, experts determined a combination of rough sea conditions and low fog made any potential to reunite with her mother in the wild unlikely. Now, two years later, this otter is part of a one-of-a-kind program that helps prepare rescued pups to become potential future surrogate moms.
 
Why does this matter? The Endangered Species Act doesn’t just protect individual animals, it protects the ecosystems they belong to, the science that saves them and the generations of that follow.
 
At Shedd, this otter is more than a guest. She’s an ambassador for her species and for the urgent need to protect aquatic life and the waters we share.

Okay so I did finish the script and I’m starting on the pencils for chapter 16. I think, I’m going to drop down to one filler post a week in the interim to leave myself more time and energy for other work. I’m also considering slowing down on the number of pages I draw a day, so I can hopefully put more effort into the art and maybe have some creative juice for other projects I’m trying to do. I’m trying to write a novel (going poorly) and also make a video game (going worse) and I need to make time to do commissions because that’s the only thing out of everything that pays and I need to pay bills.

I’m very tired.

New comic!

Today's News:

- Prince Elliot introduction

- Prince Elliot, the man who simply must become king

I originally just wrote "get out there, you...!" in the second panel, but it occurred to me that some attempt at respecting Prince Elliot's status should be made.

I did not feel it had to be a successful attempt, but given this is Prince Elliot, whoever said that should be perfectly safe.
