You may have already noticed, but I've been using that shot of Maria eating her burger in panel 2 as my avatar on a lot of sites recently. Why that and not like any other shot? I dunno. Maybe I was hungry at the time or something? It's just weirdly cute to me. ^_^

Also, real talk: I wrote this scene kind of a long time ago. When it finally came time to draw this, I didn't expect to identify with Maria quite so much here (what with the burn out and even her excuse for it). I admit I felt a little called out by my past self. XD

But that's also part of why I'm only going to be doing two-page weeks for a little while (like I said earlier in the week). So as a reminder, there won't be a page this Monday. The next page will go up on Wednesday, and it'll just be Wednesday and Friday posts for a bit.

So with that, have a nice weekend everyone. ^_^

You make sure you don’t burn yourself out, and Maria should make sure she doesn’t burn herself out, too.

Hope Maria doesn't burn herself out finishing the dress. Is Isasc a DJ or something? Still shipping him and Blair! 🤩

Maria gotta chill bruh. Be a wave in the ocean and flow, not a wave on the shore and crash.

I have this weird ability to work tirelessly non-stop for insane amounts of time and barely ever crash. I have no idea how and so far I haven’t been able to teach anyone else :/

The last 3 panels are basically my internal back and forth when I get too into something, very relatable. On another note I don’t think I properly appreciated how awesome Maria’s new hair style is until now, the blue just fits her so well. Thank you for making this comic! :)

Any chance you could stay in May like, forever? It's my senior year and I'm hardcore relating to the entire comic, haha.

I'm stealing that burg avatar. I've been using Austen from Always Human for a few days now but Maria is the true-er representation of me as a flaming dyke. XD

Sounds like at least one of these characters has some experience with burnout.
