Let me address some points that were raised in a comment on Monday:
This is a not a webcomic about places or events as much as it is about people.
Their personalities, their actions, their reactions to events.
It’s a story that I’ve held in my imagination in various forms for as long as I can remember.
I tried writing it, but I’m too impatient to be a good writer. It felt rushed and incomplete.
But 3D art is easier, although much more expensive.
This is the story that I’ve had inside my mind for far too long, and I decided to make it a webcomic
and share it with whoever was interested.
I didn’t do it because I wanted money, or readers… I did it because I wanted to tell the story.
It reflects a lot of things, like my faith in what young people can accomplish if properly nurtured, if taught the truth
about history and the world, if taught not what to think, but how. If given the facts and allowed to reach their own conclusions.
Of what we all could be and do, if left alone to make our own choices.
Yes, I’d like more readers.
Yes, I’d like to make some money at this.
But yes, this comic reflects the views of it’s author and it’s characters.
It is a conservative world, and I won’t change that to make money or to gain popularity. It wouldn’t be the same story,
it wouldn’t be the story I need to tell.
It would be something less.
I won’t apologize for offending anyone. The Osambla story was secondary, anyway. It was more a way of illustrating
the thoughts of the leaders of the Empire, and giving life to some characters who would become important in later
stories, like the Legionnaires and Doc and Pony.
Plus it was funny. I often include humor in the middle of tragedy, real life is like that.
If that drives away some would-be supporters, okay. Maybe it will attract others.
But if I wanted wealth and readers, this webcomic would have a lot more naked flesh and violence.
Because I’ve tried, and I do excellent naked flesh and violence. But that doesn’t tell the story that I need to tell.
To all of you who support this webcomic, who mention it other places, thank you.
Thank you for helping me share. For helping me remember how to share.

As long as I have readers like all of you, I cannot fail.
I’m hooked
You sir are the reason we are here. Keep up the great work.
I thank-you for your hard work to do this.
And you are the reason I am here.
If not for you, I would still be posting these pages only on Deviant Art.
Amend to that,,
now on to comic..
ohh Hekana has cheetah makings… an the girls from Frivolesque are there,, well Chloe an Gaia,, can’t see Clem…
heh ,, kyle set his sights… wonder what the dating rituals are here.???
Dating rituals are interesting.
They require a Cat witness.
I find this rather neat timing, considering the journal I just posted on Deviantart yesterday.
You do what you WANT to do, what you Need to do. That is the only way to tell the story.
Naked flesh and violence? You leave that to Kajm 😉
Keep going, my friend!
I don’t have a problem if it’s necessary for the story, but I won’t do it just for kicks and clicks.
Kajm does it for the kicks and I am currently writing a fight around an image another artist did up on DA, where things ….. but yeah, TMI 😉
No. I know you have not read much if any of my Lir Tales but you and I both ‘write’ the story so that it LIVES in the minds of the readers. By the time people have finished reading my first book, I want it permanently stuck in their minds that the Lir had something to do with the birth of Creation itself!
I haven’t read much of them because I don’t want to inadvertently use your ideas.
I was inspired to write the Kathy meets Kajm storyline because I read some things other
people had done, where their characters always won the fight.
And they wrote Kajm as rather simplistic. I saw him, from your writing, as pretty complex.
I wanted to be different. And more plausible.
Seriously? Humans beating a dragon as formidable as him?
Just back from the cottage…
You have to remember, Kajm travels all the realities. He is quite capable of finding those who could take him down, if he so wishes. And sometimes there are those more powerful than him.
Thanks for noticing he is complex! Most people can’t get past the idiotic idea of ‘furry,’ let alone grasp that a person of ANY species is going to have a great deal of background- if they are anyone of consequence.
No blog shows up here either. Just the “This content is restricted for your membership level” blurb. Is the blog supposed to be public?
I have no problem with some content being members only, but you might want to double check that things you want everyone to see, like blog posts, are set to public access.
Possibly you might want to put consider putting private content on separate pages, so casual readers aren’t confused by a set of comments that have no apparent relation to the content they see.
No, it’s set to public view. I have no idea what’s wrong.
I haven’t been able to reach my web designer for weeks.
