Took Monday off from work as I didn’t feel like going in. That and I went and visited my brother and sister-in-law for a few hours in the evening Sunday to give them the Totoro-Ponyo bluray set I got for my new nephew. Idea was I’d get home, get a good night sleep, then wake up Monday to do comic work and get it out of the way and then do some writing!
What wound up happening instead was I slept for 16 hours and did fuck all outside of storyboards for the page you see above! WHOOPSIEDOODLE!!!
I’m annoyed with myself, but for those who’ve been following me for years that’s par for the course. Laying in bed daydreaming sure was nice, though!
On Sunday I also got an email from the website developer. Launch day is gonna be Thursday, November 7th! And by launch day I mean the website will be up and running BUUUUT I still have to go in and swap out every single Bodysuit 23 comic page and update, plus assign each page it’s little icon for the archive, set up the patreon stuff, and then do it all again for Kat! You’ll be able to check it out but think of it like walking into a store before its grand opening and seeing shit littered about all over the place. Probably won’t be READY ready until the week after. And when that happens you all will be able to read the new pages over there instead of coming to patreon to read them! And looking for older specific pages is gonna be so much easier!
You’ll be able to go to specific chapters, each with their own icon so you can get a idea on what chapter that was from a glance, plus those icons you see on my current website will be displayed do you can also figure out which page is which from a glance! It’s gonna be fuckin’ A!
Pretend those boxes below are comic icons and it’ll be like that.
In life news: finally got the final statement from the old apartment! They want $500 for damages after taking my $200 deposit! There was a hole in the vinyl flooring caused by my computer chair, plus some paint damage and broken blinds which they sent photos of to describe what needs to be covered. Honestly it’s a bunch of bullshit since legally you’re required to change the flooring and repaint an apartment after a renter has lived in it so many years and moved out. But the fuck can I do but pay it unless I want to get into a massive headache. Hopefully this will be the final bill and I’ll never have to deal with them again!
I’ll see y’all next week!
How exactly did a snowstorm lead to zombies? The Mad max style stuff I can understand, but the undead showing up makes doesn’t seem to fit with the theme.
The only explanation I can think of is that demon summoning from way earlier in the comic caused this, but why they showed up only now makes no real sense.
Still I like the new site.
They’re zombies to capitalism… Or something.
It’s a metaphor or something. Not actual zombies.
No, it’s actual zombies.
Also they will not be elaborated on. Just the one panel and that’s all.
You obviously haven’t seen that movie where a meteor makes people zombies. Plus Game of Thrones literally has ice zombies.
Clearly they have never been to Texas in a snow storm.
I like his fortitude in the face of danger.
You should have the RSS feed update on the latest available public page, or have a second one for non-patrons.
There is. https://bodysuit23.mehgazone.com/category/non-patreon/feed/
Mine you the date will still be from when I uploaded the page because otherwise it can screw up the order of pages if I mess with the dates and if I want to have the person who helped move the site over to look into a solution it’ll cost me more money as it’s out of the scope of the original contract and I don’t have the funds for it at the moment.
As requested I’ve tested the non-patreon RSS feed (https://bodysuit23.mehgazone.com/category/non-patreon/feed/). And it seems to work great. The publication date is still set to the original patreon release date but that shouldn’t be an issue. I personally use “Feedly” which shows the receive date instead of the publishing date which removes this one issue all together. Though this might be different for other RSS platforms/applications.
Thanks for taking your time to add this non-patreon RSS feed.
Zombies are an accepted literary device to indicate “things just got worse.”

“New QoL stuff… like when you always watch the “latest page”, now you will have to always go two pages back!”
Mean jokes aside… could you make two “latest page” buttons in the menu, on for patrons, one for others?
I’ll have to see what I can do on my own as I’m pretty sure that’ll warrant an additional charge on me. For the time being I have the latest page icon on the homepage go to the latest free page and not the Patreon page.
What I wound up doing is manually changing the latest page link in the drop down menu to not go to bodysuit23.mehgazone.com but instead directly to a specific page instead. I’ll have to manually update it each week when I post stuff similarly to the image icon on the sidebar, but hopefully that’ll relieve some of that issue.
The buttons at the bottom of the page will still jump straight to the most recent page (the Patreon locked one). Maybe next year when money isn’t tight I’ll go about paying for a more permanent solution.

I was under the impression that charging more past the deposit was illegal; you actually have to file a lawsuit for it and rely on the courts to determine if the damage was severe enough to justify the extra billing.
Of course, contesting it would require you to consult a lawyer yourself, which might cost more than $500. Thus does the legal system work; the best justice money can buy.
Sigh.
That’s apartment living for ya!
Hell yeah just found the new website!
