You did a great job with your first issue. Take as long as you can with the second issue.

Thankfully I think pretty far ahead, so I just need to pull together some logistics and I should be able to start producing issue 2 soon.

You are a legend

No you!

This comic is fantastic. I'd love to see where it goes. Thank you for making it.

Absolutely! Thank you for reading it.

I have no doubts many key questions will be answered next issue, but on a side note seems like you have your own battles to face, and putting them into your story is a powerful method let alone some emotional stuff like suicide. I'm sorry you're going through all of that.

I've already overcome many battles, fortunately. I don't really feel bad about myself the way I used to. Thanks so much for your support!

You've done really well with this comic. It struck a lot of chords in me, too; I really felt for Basil and the way you developed the relationships between him and the other characters was really well done. I was always excited to see the next pages and watch his journey, and I loved the way he progressed. Your pacing was excellent and never rushed, and you found an excellent place to pause, even with the questions we're left with. Great job, and take all the time you need with the next issue: I know the wait will be more than worth it, and I admire the effort you've been pouring into this comic and the story you've been telling.

Thanks so much, Zerrex! I appreciate the compliments about pacing especially, since I was most worried about that in particular. Coming into comics as a new medium was like "wut even. How do pace?" So I'm glad it came across well!! <:)

im so proud of you <3 <3 <3

Thanks so much, mister ;w;

This comic brought a tear to my eye, I enjoyed reading it so much... you made this so very well!
Previous week I was reading the pages over and over again; absorbing the story, the expressions (I must admit I have a weak spot for Basil). It came out as a fantastic comic which I will remember!

I'm glad!! It's the type of story to really benefit reading from start to finish, I feel. YwY I'm glad it brought a tear to your eye~ Hope they were good tears.

This very quickly became one of the comics that my eyes would light up on with every update. I can't wait to see Basil and Abe overcome more together. Thank you so much. <3

Absolutely! I can't wait to get to the next one and show you guys what I've got planned!! <:)

I could tell at first glance that I was going to like this comic due to its thematics. I relate a lot to the personal struggles the characters have and it makes me happy. I support you as an artist, for your style, for your storytelling, and for the effort, you put into your work. I look forward to what the future has planned for you and your passion. Thank you for sharing such an amazing story with us.

Thank you for writing such a heartfelt comment. It's really worth it to hear from you ever so often on these pages. I'm really glad it resonated with you~ I feel like I'm putting a part of myself out into the world and it's good to know people can appreciate it. <:3

You 're doing a great job. This comic became one of my alltime favorites already. Can't wait for the 2nd issue. <3 <3 <3

2nd issue hype!!!

Really good job dude!

Thanks so much, Big!!

This first issue was great.
I'd say you did well in establishing the charcters as well as letting us peer into some of their conflicts.
Can't wait for the next issue.
Hope you stay in good health as well

I am~ I think you'll enjoy what's soon to come. <:)

<3 <3 <3 (wish I could leave heart emojis on FA, but I don't know how! ^^;)

I can't wait for more

I can't wait to make more!!

This whole issue was incredible. Well done. I can't wait to read more. I'm fully invested in their lives at this point!

Thank you Wylfdene. ^w^

Thank you for doing this comic, you're bringing entertainment and emotion to your readers and we appreciate your efforts in NO small way! <3

I'm SO glad I follow your work!

I'm so glad you follow my work, too. xD Thank you!!

You can do it. Let's go !

Thanks for this comics, it was awesome

you comic is a real good work, and adorable, don't doubt about what you can do !

awesome indeed...
Man that was a roller coaster... a emotional one...

This was a great story. Can't wait for the sequel, fam

I can’t wait to give it to you, either!

i loved this! i'm really invested and i can't wait to see what happens next

I'm super glad!!

It has been pleasure to read this so far. This is definitely a project to be proud of. Looking forward to seeing more great art from you.

Thanks Rourkie!! <3 You've been an absolute joy to read comments from.

I'm glad, it's been a really good read so far. <3

Say, you wouldn't have made a muscle growth sequence of some dog guy growing larger from breathing gas from a tube did you? Or do you know the original artist that made it?

Uhh sounds like Zamo. https://www.furaffinity.net/user/zamo/

Thank you for the link, reply, and information.

I really love your work, please just don't overwork yourself!

I won't. x3

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading Spotting Basil. Wonderful work; I look forward to seeing more issues from you, when you feel ready to make them!

Abosutely incredible! Thank you so much for working on this. This is an amazing comic and I hope you are able to finish your goal and continue this story.

Side note - my husband was walking by as I was reading Spotting Basil and said "I really like that artist". I agree!

Haha! Tell your husband thanks on my behalf. :) And I'm already starting to plan for the rest of the comic. I think I'll get to it soon!

I have my master's, so no need to juggle. I'm mainly going to be juggling other writing jobs (as I am one professionally~) I'm glad you enjoyed the comic! I really don't believe in people being purely bad or good. Abe is not a villain, he's just really misguided I feel. And for the record, in total agreement that open / poly relationships aren't bad and can function. ;3

I don't comment on anything, but your comic really struck a chord with me. Like other people said, you did a very good job with pacing, introducing and developing characters, and the illustration is well done. Thank you for sharing this story.

Absolutely!! I'm glad it did something for you. ^^

Omg this was lovely, I can't wait to see where this goes to. I'm hoping what we all are hoping, that Abe and Basil get together ❤. Great work!

Thanks so much! It’s been amusing seeing your reactions as you read heheh. I’m excited for issue 2 to begin.

I have a movie suggestion, you should watch 'The Greatest Showman'. It's a great movie and it relates to this comic in a way. Also your very welcome! (I have the same vibes as you)

I haven't watched it but I'll put it on my backlog!

This made me cry a little wonderful job thanks for this amazing comic

y'er doing the lord's work, m8



i look forward to more of this story!

Thank you so much for making this comic. This is a really good comic and I bet people will read this and be able to feel better about themselves. Seriously, good job.

Thank you so much for taking the time read it. <:)

MIKRO THIS IS BEAUTIFUL~

This is something unique I've experienced the first time ever reading a comic of any sort, a personal note by the author.

I really loved reading this from you, I also have a friend in need who I am going to send this comic to who feels the same as you described, I feel this comic will definitely help him and am going to send him your way as well <3

I have enjoyed reading this far and will continue to do so. You got me invested and the story put me in a good trance <3

I really love it so far. Please keep going. Don't stop. And keep making more on top of that too!

You are amazing.

I'm glad you're vibing with it! I just finished issue 2 on my patreon so you don't have to wait too long to see the conclusion of the second issue posted onto FA. That'll also come with an author's note when I get there haha.

Cannot wait to see it as well! :)

It was a great and interesting read, had me hooked and i read it all in once sitting. Loved how earnest the art felt and how you handled the story. Good work

Thanks so much! <3 Oh gosh I've been working on this for four years now. ^^;

I am glad I finally picked up the first issue! Thank you for the delightful inspiration. I have ARFID myself and food and weight are a struggle! Thank you for starting this project!

I'm really glad if this work could help you and be a source of inspiration! <3 Thank you for reading!
