Now that our adorable intergalactic friend has (maybe?) found a new home, let's check in on our student and our prince! Last time we saw Hester, she was feeling pretty ill and sought the aid of Megaville's marmots. And the last time we saw Gloom, he was on a disappointing astral phone call with his pressuring parents.

I've been on some bad job interviews in my day (wanna hear about the time I gave my would-be boss a foot-long chocolate fish?), but Gloom's waiting room looks worse than any of the ones I've had to sit in!

Oh, hey, before you go make sure you read all of the floors listed next to the elevator at Knight Corp headquarters. Nils-Petter Norlin decided exactly what kind of wacky crap is inside of this big building and I absolutely love his choices.

Look, I dunno about you but I've always wanted to get lost in a corn maze inside of an office building, just sayin'.

At least things are looking up for Hester, right? And we're not gonna make you wait too long because we're gonna show you exactly how well it's going for her and the marmot cause in a mere two weeks so be back here on October 8th to find out!

It's been so long since we met our baby alien, hasn't it? Well, the wait is over because we're about to see what things have been like for the extraterrestrial tyke since their home planet exploded and turned them into an intergalactic orphan.

Awwww, shucks! Of all the farms on all the planets, this lil alien had to land on the one farm where the farmers would rather put a baby in a barn than a bedroom. Welcome home, I guess?

Nils and I released a new podcast last week. Thought I'd let you know just in case you missed it. We talk all about Chapters 4-6 of The Evil Life plus we do lots of reminiscing and we even debate the direction of the new Star Wars trilogy.

It looks like our next chapter of this weird webcomic is going to feature not one but two (count 'em!) of our main characters as we catch up with both Hester and Gloom as they try to forge favorable futures for themselves. See you then!

Nils-Petter Norlin and Nick Marino (that's me!) talk about the creation process behind Chapters 4-6 of The Evil Life webcomic, detailing Hester Herman's monstrous marmot transformation and Prince Gloom's astral plane rendezvous with his parents.

The first 46 minutes of our episode are all about writing and drawing these chapters of The Evil Life, which included some of the earliest scripts and sketches from our collaboration. As we near the end of that conversation, we broach the topic of endings and specifically sticking the landing with a good ending (mostly cuz we're currently hard at work on the end of our top secret graphic novel about underwater koalas). After the end theme at around 46:30, we go on a Star Wars tangent and debate the most recent trilogy as we speculate on the franchise's ability to stick their own landing.

You can follow The Evil Life webcomic here on this site or over on Webtoon. The chapters covered in this conversation include 4: Feeling Fine, 5: Astral Pain, and 6: Side Effects, and our seventh chapter will be out next week!
