I got back into the habit of doing comics, though it was a lot of random stuff with no particular storyline or anything in mind.

I did finally go through with finishing the Kurumi arc as planned, apart from having originally planned to do it all in 4-koma format. There wasn’t any head injuries or insanity or anything like that, but creating/discovering Kurumi was a turning point for me, and, not to put too fine a point on it, let me start to somewhat undo a couple decades of repressing emotions.

This was kind of a weird side story thing about two insane catgirls loosely based on the two black cats (of the same names) a friend had, with a bit of Josh Lesnick/CuteWendy influence too. It was kind of a weird, fourth-wall-breaking thing, and a lot of fun to do. I’d been planning to eventually reveal that they were Arlene’s nieces, but never got around to it.
