Poor, sweet Kalea. She’s just not in the same class of diver skills as her companions.
We thought we’d add a little foreshadow there; were you immersed enough in this comic before the remake to figure it out?
This was the last page we did before 2019, by the way. At the time, we thought it fitting to end the year on a cliffhanger.
And what a year it was, 2018, at least from Leilani and Riff’s perspective. A few health scares, a few good times, a few bad times. A very sad death of a loved one and a very joyous addition to the household. This is how life is though, ups, downs, backwards, forwards, side to side, diagonally, and sometimes you might feel like you’re just going in circles.
Of course, you should accept all of these “directions” and work with them. And you can’t ever give up on life either. As long as you have breath in your lungs, or thoughts in your head, you need to stick around.
It’s like that cool movie “The Truman Show” – a must-see if you haven’t yet. There’s a slogan on a button affixed to Truman’s love interest’s sweater that says “How is it going to end?”, meaning how is his “show”, which is seen by the whole world, going to end. This man has never lived a normal life – he’s lived a life that’s been 100% arranged for him, from the things he learns in schools, to the girls he dates and eventually marries, to his job, and his hometown friends and acquaintances, who are nothing more than paid actors.
What we were trying to say as we drew a curtain on “The 2018 Show” was that…well, we’re not really on that kind of show.
No one is really watching us 24/7, or pretending to be our friends and families in most instances.
No one is controlling what we want to do to a point. No one is guiding us to our destinies. And clearly, no one is getting rich off of us through product placement.
But this is YOUR show.
This is YOUR life.
Live it until it ends – and please try not to end it yourself. =(
There is a whole world out there that needs you. You could be the one that, as an example, mentors someone later in life to grow up to become a great scientist, or speaker, or engineer, or one of a million other things.
Or maybe you’re the driver in the right-hand lane that pulls over for an ambulance in heavy traffic, which automatically saves the life of the little girl inside who was struck by a car.
Or you could be that one person who tells a friend that he should go to the convention across town, and subsequently save the lives of hundreds of people in a fire. Remember: YOU ARE CONNECTED TO THE WHOLE WORLD IN SOME WAY.
And that is such an awesome thing, isn’t it? And this is why your life is so amazing.
We just proved, without a shadow of doubt, you need to stick with it, through the bad times and the good times.
Here’s to you, the viewer, and to your friends, families and loved ones.
When we wrote this the first time, “The 2019 Show” was about to begin.
Obviously, things didn’t get much better for us but…guess what?
We’re still here – and so are you.
Peace.

And here comes Kalea to save them both. Once again, greed is not the mark of a true warrior.
Kalea has always been the peace-maker, as I’ve mentioned before.
Ahhh, but is Malana actually greedy…? *^^*
Ok this catfight or to be more precised, “otterfight” has indirectly turned into a striptease.
Well, yes, this is an adult comic. lol *^^*
Now I’m wondering whether Kalea will end up naked as well while trying to break them up.
LOL…they’re not tied very tightly, are they? *^^*
..pearls fine.! not the things (oysters) that make em..! i mean really who wants oyster turds anyway.??
an whoa,, more rudder butt . 🙂
Wait, if she don’t take the oysters tha have the pearls, where else she will find’em?
Leilani wants to preserve the oysters and their gifts from the sea goddess. ^^
Leilani may want to, but in real life this is the time when quite a few oyster beds were killed off by over farming…
Very sad and very true. =( Even today, the pearl farming industry isn’t what it used to be. I’m going to just say it and blame China for the ecological stress its put on pearls and oysters worldwide. You hear me, China? *^^*
And now I am terrified. This comic is scaring me more than any Horror Game. This is a sign of excellent writing.
Lemme be the first to say… Keep Kalea safe while she keeps Leilani and Malana safe. I swear I’d have a heart attack if anything really bad happened to anyone-
Drowning is only fun if you’re into it. I don’t think Malana, Kalea, or Leilani are into it right now.
I’ve made a rather bold decision about the direction the comic will take. *^^* I really hope the readers will approve.
I’m certain we will! You’re an incredible Writer and you know how to convey and describe a situation. We all love your work so we’ll approve of and enjoy any decision you make with this comic. We just want to see this be the best it can be! We want to see you be the best you can be!
Thanks, Ruku. *^^* I’m sure the sentiment is shared by many people here. I wish the Patreon was better received but I’m sure once we really get a good number of pages under our belts, people will understand we are a team to be reckoned with in the webcomic industry. And someday, printed as well.
If I had the budget for it, I’d buy one of the higher-tier Rewards. Though, I feel like it could be selfish. Especially with the Giant Wave. Seeing my brand-spanking-new Fursona (or should I say Scalesona?) in The Depths would be awesome! But I wouldn’t want him to reduce the quality of the story, or worse…
You don’t have to go all out, not at all. We love the support no matter where ti comes from or how much. The more support, the more eyes on us, and the more we can do. We’re no different than any other webcomic out there with a Patreon, but there is no other webcomic out there quite like ours. *^^* If you’d like to give something, absolutely you’re welcome to.
Hoo boy! Otters be gettin’ all frisky and nekkid up in this! Kind of concerning, Malana willingly appropriating a gift of the sea goddess. I mean, the pearls themselves are one thing, but the oysters, that’s almost saying she can handle managing this gift from the sea goddess better than the goddess herself. I didn’t see something, but did Jamie ask for the oysters so he could potentially have a production source for the pearls, or did Malana freestyle that, to curry more favor from Jamie? I’m sensing doom…
That’s what’s really a question, isn’t it? What’s Malana’s intentions? *^^*
