Part 3 of Julia’s Story continues. This week we are introducing a new character, Lothram. He is a Dragonborn, and a sort of a mage/artificer, and was part of the old gang with Julia, Natty and Jimmy. This episode occurs right before 10. Over Our Heads, when we first introduced Julia to the main comic.
Its the second week of 2025 … yay. I love the Christmas holidays as I get to “shut my brain down”, and last week I had to return to work after two wonderful weeks.
This week is the continuation of Julia’s Story. This one falls between 3c. Evanesce & Explosiont and 5a. The Fence in Chapter 1.
I really enjoyed making this page, especially her notes, as it brought out the fun, insane personality that is Julia. Some backstory: Julia, Natty and Jimmy the Fence used to run in the same gang and have history together.
If you are reading from here and are a bit lost, go back one page and then reread from 1. Dangers of Cave Looting
Happy New Year, it’s been more than 2 years since we completed the first chapter of Bears of Lore. It’s taken us quite a wile to move to the next chapter. But we are here.
Before starting Chapter 2: Loot Crazy (still workshopping the title) we will have a 4-page mini-comic titled “Julia’s Story”. It follows Julia Aurenbroke, the dashing, fun-loving, eccentric antagonist in Chapter 1. It tells Chapter 1 from her side.
Then we will continue with Chapter 2, without a break. The current aim is to publish a new page every Saturday for the next 5 months and then a break while I complete Chapter 3 (hopefully I won’t take 2 years to complete it!)
Until then please enjoy!
Happy Holidays and Season’s Greetings, everyone. Hope you have a safe, fun, happy and wonderful time.
Season’s Greetings. I was sitting on the sofa and my phone fell out my hands, I tried to catch it and knocked a few things away, including the phone. This was the actual conversation, that resulted. Thought I’d add a bit of action to this one!
Ask me after the Christmas season, if I can still see my toes!
True story. Laura and I were driving back from Cardiff. Just outside Bradford-on-Avon, the satnav told us to turn right. I slowed down and there to the right, was the narrowest road I’ve ever seen. Either side covered with hedge and barely space for my small car! I would take traffic any day over what we call “squeeze-ville” roads!
October was a crazy month and November isn’t looking much better. I barely had time to darw or even making comics. We did manage to make this comic. Its a true funny story, except the setting wasn’t a cave but a tunnel.
We were on holiday in Cornwall (for our 18th anniversary) and were walking from Perranporth to the Bolingey Inn (a lovley 17th Century Pub) and on the side of path there was an interesting looking tunnel. The thing is, it was too low for me, but Laura could walk in perfectly. So naturally we entered, Laura at the front walking upright and excited with me, following behind with my back bent.
As we approached the other side, Laura started yelling Bat! Bat! Bat! and pushing me back out the tunnel. I couldn’t see ahead (due to little space and my head and back being bent). With what little space, I somehow managed to turn around as she was pushing me back out. Turns out there were bats hanging off the ceiling (as bats are meant to do) but was at head height to Laura and she didn’t want to walk into them. Or so the story goes.
This happens everytime … we go to supermarket, can’t remember if there is ketchup at home, so we buy ketchup (just in case) only to find a stash of the red gold!
