Another thing I’m working on: I’ll be at VanCAF this weekend! If you’re in Vancouver, Canada, come on down to the Roundhouse and check it out, it’s free!
ATTENTION PEOPLE GOING TO VANCAF: I will not be there. I got sick last minute and had to cancel. :( I’m very sad! The silver lining is that I will be doing FREE SHIPPING TO CANADA on all Plesiostore orders this weekend with the discount code “SORRYURSICK”, so if you were going to buy something from me, you still can, and it won’t cost an arm and a leg!

Noooo! Tell me my beautiful boy Ike didn’t cut his wonderful hair!
More seriously, I hope you feel better soon
Huh, now that you said this, he DOES look like Ike, but my immediate first thought was “EEEeeeee! Bloodcarver!!! Human Bloodcarver, grumping around!! Eeeee!!!”
Can you spoil us with someone new who shows up in the next script? I understand if you want to say no.
Well, the script page shown does give lines to a couple unnamed humans apparently waiting in queue at the Underground’s new entrance … ;-)
If you swallowed a medallion, would it still work? Would the magic make your digestion messed up?
The forges we’ve seen do not promise to have churned out surgical steel, so, unless an aspect of their magic specifically protects them, the medallion would have a limited lifetime in gastric acid (cf. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9283866/ ).
With medallions working their disguise head to toe in every which direction as long as it is anywhere within a few feet(?) of its owner, I’d expect it to still work properly ’til then.
Should it instead “decide” that your stomach lining is the (only) “outer” body surface in need of a disguise … well, it is just a disguise and not shape shifting, so even if limbs were added to your insides or somesuch, that shouldn’t interfere with your digestion, should it? >;->
Get well soon, Korythosaurus! <3
Does a dinosaur count as a bird for the gryphonator?
No reason therapods wouldn’t. Every bird is a therapod in form and at heart.
HOW did mary and james meet? i wanna hear their story :>
Get well soon and take care of yourself! Please don’t overwork.
Zoooooms in on the script… Oh, into the magic club tunnel now, huh! I wonder who Person 4 is, who is already in the know enough to accept mythical creatures…
I was going to ask what a reverse hippogriff would be like, but I’m pretty sure that’s how we end up with hippalectryon.
Are reverse gryphs a separate sub-species of regular gryphons? Do reverses (or regulars) just sometimes ‘happen’ in families of the opposite?
Yes, they are seperate subspecies, with their own type of medallion.
I apologize that my question probably came across as blunt or impatient, I wasn’t even being terribly serious (there was an emote, apparently windows emotes don’t show here). Just knew we were approaching 100 and I have noticed you’ve dropped your one question per person per round rule so it was just a curious thought xD
Anyway, take the time you need Kory! RQ’s have always made the breaks enjoyable.
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. :(
What are your characters like when they’re sick? Who gets all lethargic? Who’s a complainer? Any “bedside manner vampires”? Who powers through anyway? Who just goes to sleep?
….
Additionally: Which of your characters have the best bedside manner for a sick friend or family member?
I’ve been going back and reading my actual dead-tree copies of your books from way back, and they’re so awesome! Kory, you are doing a great job, everyone loves your work, and I am sure that everything will turn out awesome. Keep working at your own pace and keep making awesome things just as you have been already! Readers are here for the long haul, and rushing you is counterproductive, so we’re here to enjoy the ride, not rush you to the conclusion!
is the Finnish Tulikettu myth or does it exist in Skindeep? would they be monsters or medallion creatures?
Dear God, do *NOT* go there … X-D

Of all the possible things you could have named this comic, why “Skindeep?”
Oh is that Greg I spy with a beard? I hope you feel better soon!
Don’t worry. While we’re all excited to get back to the story, it’s important that it happens when you feel ready. When that happens, I’m sure it’ll be a much better story for it.
I recognize Ike & Greg, Dean & Lily, dressed for lower temperatures than the summerish weather we’ve seen so far at the L.A.
Greg seems to be wearing a sweatshirt with the name of a farm supply store chain.
> Greg seems to be wearing a sweatshirt with the name of a farm supply store chain.
… do you have a reason to think of them
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilco_(farm_supply_cooperative)
instead of assuming that it’s yet another shirt-sporting-a-band-name, like so many we’ve seen in Skin Deep?

Also: I don’t have much of an eye for such details, is Dean in his winter fur? ;-3
https://www.skindeepcomic.com/reader-questions/2018-reader-question-112/
I checked your links, and I’ll concede that it’s far more likely to be a reference to a Chicago-based rock group than a store chain only found here in the Pacific Northwet.
Of course, he /could/ wear a shirt displaying the name or image of Roy Clark (the banjo-playing co-host of “Hee-Haw”).
[From my other comment that went to moderation:]
> is Dean in his winter fur? ;-3
… oooh, that made me think of an RQ candidate: Do those who grow a winter fur have to either switch clothing sizes according to the season, or shave it off/short to keep the fit? (Or am I overestimating the difference in (compressed) volume here?)
The comic takes place in 2006 or thereabouts. Can you fast forward 18 years and show us what some of the characters will look like in 2024? (Just appearance, not asking for spoilers on what happened over that time.)
Thank you for the update! People only ask because your comic is well loved! ^^
Hey, you’re giving us this entertaining story for free. And, even though you have had difficulties in writing the next arc, you’ve ensured that we haven’t been worried about you dropping the comic by keeping up Reader Questions on a regular basis. Look after yourself first, any reader who complains about a hiatus THIS gentle is a whiny baby.
That said, the first of those comments read, to me at least, less “Why hasn’t the comic updated!” and more “Could you please give us a checkup on update progress?”.
The second I read more of a “Is there a backup plan for RQ’s, if you end up getting to a point where you’re not ready to post yet?” The answer seemingly implied in this comic being “I haven’t thought of it, as I’m hoping to actually update the comic as soon as I can”.
Which actually leads me to an actual question already listed here. “Is there an alternative for Reader Question’s, if you end up getting to a point where you run out anytime in the future?”
Better to have a script finished then to draw oneself into a corner
