“But the pretzel...”

And with that, that’s the end of the intro arc!!

I’ll do the Olive arc tomorrow—let me know if I should do it on IG, this thread ended up way longer than I anticipated!

This barely counts as a joke, but whenever someone has to break the fourth wall, I try to make sure it’s Graham

I wanted to hint very early that Lucy’s search was unhealthy (or at least, the lengths she’d go through were)—even though he’s opposing her, Graham’s stance has always been “Value yourself more”

I really wanted to emphasize the community aspect of coffee—I feel like it’s easy to make fun of millennials/Gen Z for drinking coffee, but it’s one of the most common ways I see my friends!

ALSO FUN FACT Graham’s original character design had facial hair all the time, so this sequence was mostly so I could draw that lol

In retrospect, I feel kind of bad that I used the same “cliffhanger” ending for both Ep. 4 and 5... but I thought it was funny to just 100% use the same panels!!

This expression seems so un-Graham-like now!! I think I originally wanted him to end up a bit smarmier, but every character I touch turns soft lol

FUN FACT Originally Lucy had longer hair bc I was worried short hair wouldn’t be cute enough, but after seeing Choi Kang Hee in Queen of Mystery, I was like “NAH IT’S PLENTY CUTE”
