Rain
Comic 860 - Minimon Proceed
Author Notes:
For those who don't get it, Spearow is a Pokemon, obviously. And Spiro (short for Spironolactone) is often used as an anti-androgen by trans women. Yesterday, I happened to encounter several dozen Spearows in Pokemon Go, and due to grumbling about it out loud all day, noticed for the first time their similar pronunciations. This gave me a chuckle (because I laugh at the dumbest things), so I made it into a comic. And here we are! XD
Doing this also allows me to more formally address the fact that people have been asking a lot if they can do fan strips while I'm on extended hiatus. To which I say "very yes!" If you're interested in making one, go nuts! Send it to me, and I'll share it (with full credit to you of course), so that maybe the hiatus doesn't feel quite so agonizingly long since we'll get to keep seeing Rain and her friends. I don't even care if it's for laughs, cries, ships, or what-have-you. Just at least keep it PG-13(ish), and have fun! (Of course, fan art and fan fics are also totally welcome!)
As a final note, while I don't think I'll be drawing much through my recovery (unless I can find a position where that works), I would like to keep mentally active and do at least some work. Mostly writing, I'm sure. The books Rain and Emily are reading here tease which ones I've been thinking most about lately, so you could see something on those in the near future (but of course, I'll get into those specifically at a later date).

Rain AND puns? I didn't think I could like this comic more than I did!! Guess I was wrong ♥
My apartment has an infestation of Drowzees. No wonder I'm not sleeping well. XD
Good luck with tomorrow!!! :D So happy for you!

But Pokemon Go has Pokemon. ;P
Spearow is a Pokemon. She is playing Pokemon Go on her phone.
Spiro (short for Spironolactone) is often used as an anti-androgen by trans women. In other words, it reduces the amount of testosterone the body produces (naturally being something Rain would like).
Hopefully that clears it up. ^_^
But the Spiro-thing is new to me.
Yes. That is correct. ^_^
2.tell them I also want a spiro
3.explain it
I will come out with this joke
But it works so well for her.
Rain, girl, you gotta get more Rudy.
I have some additional irony in that I work in a pharmacy, sometimes handle spironolactone, didn't know what it was for (I'm just a first-year tech so I don't have to), and think of the dragon every time the drug comes up. Rawr. xD
