Iimi (Irene Inez Mary Iscra) is a mildly autistic teenage apologist who finds herself defending the Catholic Faith in a High School where hostility and misconceptions against it are rampant. 

Iimi started out as small comics on my blog's Facebook page. Eventually, I realized it would be better to post the comics directly on the blog.

Because the Cast of Characters is getting rather large, I've created it as its own comic. You can find it HERE. It will be updated as I go along.

The links in older comics referencing previous comics are broken. It's best to come back to this page and look for the comic in question.

If you find a comic in which the panels are missing, please contact me on my Facebook page or leave a comment on the defective post in question.

2020 Comics: Season 0 and Season 1

(At this time, I still viewed If I Might Interject as a blog with an occasional webcomic).

(Season 0 comics [Episodes 1-2] were originally posted on Facebook). While Iimi was perpetually a Sophomore until season 5, you could think of these comics as (unofficially) representing her Freshman year. She definitely has problems with her social skills in these comics. Episode 3 was more of a PSA urging obedience to the Church during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 and has nothing to do with the series.

These comics were pretty primitive in terms of software use and storytelling.

2021 Comics: Season 2

In Season 2, I began writing stories that developed the characters and their relationships. It gradually shifted from "apologetics comics" to comics involving apologetics within a story. Beginning with Issue 37, If I Might Interject became purely a webcomic.

This season is also when Krysta joined the group of friends (Issue 51).

In Issue 68, I began using Clip Studio for word balloons. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until season 4 that I began to learn about effective character and balloon placement.

2023 Comics: Season 4

2023 was about learning to tell stories more effectively. (Whether or not I succeeded, you'll have to decide). That meant studying books on scripts, comic design, and actual Gold/Silver/Bronze Age comics to see how they were put together in the classics. Unfortunately, 2023 (beginning with Issue 184) marked the beginning of a period where I used AI for backgrounds and covers. That would last until Issue 277.

AI Disclosure

I discontinued using AI for covers and background scenery after Issue 277. Logos are still created with AI simply because there are no non-AI logo creator programs. Some legacy images have been kept for consistency (iconic buildings and “historic photographs”) with the intent of replacing them when possible. Outside of that, I am not aware of any new AI used for covers and scenery in my comic. (If you see any, it means the stock art creator I purchased from misrepresented the product.)
