It's Iimi! A Reminder

 If you came here looking for a comic today, please note that I've changed my schedule. I now publish three times a month instead of weekly. You'll see the next comic on October 1st.

It’s Iimi! The Day the Windhurst Channel Burned!

Disaster strikes! An accident on the Windhurst Channel exposes the dangers in barge traffic. People seek to understand who was to blame, how it could have happened, and what can be done after… The Day the Windhurst Channel Burned!

Post-Comic Notes:

I’ve been coming pretty close to missing the deadline for a few months now (this one was finished around nine hours before the deadline). Since I don’t see my conditions changing anytime soon, I am moving to a 3x/month (the 1st, 11th, and 21st) schedule for the foreseeable future.

AI Disclaimer

I discontinued using AI for covers and background scenery after Issue 277. I still use it to create logos, doodles, and symbols simply because there are no non-AI logo creator programs (suggestions are welcome). Some previously used images have been kept for consistency (iconic buildings and “historic photographs”) with the intent of replacing them when possible. Any other appearance of AI means the stock art seller I purchased from misrepresented their product.

It’s Iimi! Battling to Mutual Destruction

Class 2-4 is in an argument over superhero movies and comics. The term “woke” is flung around. Will Iimi be able to help the class see behind the assumptions? Or will the students under her watch find themselves… Battling to Mutual Destruction

 

Author's Note:

This was the closest I've come yet to missing the deadline (finished 9 hours before publication). The main problem is that now that I've stopped using AI, it takes longer to design backgrounds. Don't worry, I won't be going back to that. But it does make it harder to finish on time.

I'm going to keep on trying for a weekly publishing schedule, but I may need to drop to publishing three times a month. I don't want to do that, so please pray that I can stay focused and able to maintain this schedule.

Post Comic Credits:

Yes, “Woken” in the first act title is dated, and usually “Awakened” is preferred as a word choice. But I needed it to set up a wordplay with the second act title.
