492 | A Moment of Doubt

September 6, 2010 | 12:36 am, by Pascalle Lepas

Reona, don’t listen to what Efrem said! He is a jerk… maybe… And don’t think that Robot is trying to make Reona feel better because he has suddenly become a nice android. He just really hates it when she starts to cry. Robot does what Robot needs, got it?

In the story of my life news, I’ve been really sick! Like, really. I apparently decided to have one of those auto-immune diseases (I think I caught it from watching too much HOUSE).  I haven’t been talking about it on the site because I wasn’t sure what was wrong really until a couple of weeks ago when I finally got in to see an endocrinologist and got a blood test and all that. Apparently my body thinks that my thyroid gland is the enemy, so it attacks it which causes me to die a little bit all the time. But I’m totally on medication now and the pills are cheap (which is also good because apparently my insurance would rather pay for my systemic organ failure treatments than the cheap little pills that prevent it) and I feel better than I have in a long ass time. Hopefully this means I’ll be able to get my comic buffer going again (yes, surprise, I lost ALL OF IT about four months ago and have been flying by the seat of my pants ever since) and we’ll just have to see what happens.

Thanks for reading, my little Zaplings!

    Wow! At least you know why you felt so crappy for so long. I'm glad your pills are affordable. I hope you can put some of your renewed energy into your art projects. <3

  • I'm glad you're feeling better! As the victim of long term health problems myself, I can definitely empathize …

    Is it bad that I feel just a little proud every time you use the term Zaplings, knowing that I coined the term? ;)

    The look on Reona's face in the last panel is absolutely beautiful! You captured the emotions, all 27,389 of them, perfectly. (And no, I'm not going to try to list them.)

    Everyone please remember to VOTE! http://topwebcomics.com/vote/7784/default.aspx

    Your artwork gets better and better with each and every single page. I really like your style. Keep it up. Good job.

  • TalonofElysia

    Now that, is just awesome. You can almost feel the emotion in her face, it's inspiring.

    Hope you keep yourself well Calle, we don't want this to end up with an Writer Failure. (It's a Trope, can't exactly remember what it's called.)

  • Octodude

    I love the last panel! Thank you, Robot – even if you were being selfish and trying to avoid rust spots – still, well said.

    I'm really glad you're feeling better! Take care of yourself, you!

  • Dgeniu

    I love how the colouring evolves! The 4th panel is outstanding! Good job on the expressions as well!

  • Nick

    Great to hear you are doing better Lepas. Its a sad thing you got that auto-immune disease together with the must-watch-HOUSE disease. You should sue em.

    Also, love that last panel. Hell, I like all off em.

  • Annalia

    I love Robot. I really do. ^^

  • SpringLoaded12

    Panel 6 + Panel 7 = So much greatness. Work those emotions, yeah

  • Neiona

    Hey, my thyroid gland is trying to kill me too! *high-fives!* Once you are put on the right meds (hopefully they'll give you the right dose the first time) you'll feel good as new. :) Good luck, Calle! Best wishes!

    Monday is my comic-reading day.
    Because of you.
    I read all my webcomics on monday to catch up.
    Because of you.

  • Ghalail

    Very glad you are okies. And thank you for fighting through what I know to be a pretty rough experience.

    Meaning it or not Robot showed some real tact and said just the right thing to get Reona going. ^_^

  • Strike_Reyhi

    THIS is how you do facial expressions. holy crap that's amazing work. I mean DANG.

  • Medical insurance is a funny little creature.

    It's good that you're feeling better, hope you manage to build that buffer you want. Though, Zapling? Can I instead be a Naveedling? I have a soft spot for sexy villians :)

  • Haplo_groove

    oh man high five for the shading this one.

    really starting to ´shine´ through

  • mirrim

    I'm glad to hear that you are on the mend! Best wishes for feeling better in the future.

    Reona's expressions are great in this page…and may I say that I was bowled over by the awesomeness of your latest post on your “blah blah blog”. ;)

  • Thanks, Mirrim!
    <3

  • uuugh the puuns.

  • ^__^

  • It is crazy how quickly you feel better. I was sort of not expecting much at first and I swear about an hour after I took the first pill I could have run a marathon.

  • oh baby, oh baby. yeah. nice emotions.

  • SpringLoaded12

    o.0
    Ah… not quite what I meant… woops

  • Wow! Suckish about the whole dieing a little bit at a time. But good thing those meds are working. YUM medicine! I can see the difference in the comic!
    Haha, I kid. Looks as great as ever. :3
    Also;
    moar Zap plskthxbai?

  • Marduk

    Wow i have no idea how late i am but i hope all is going okay with you over that. Constant best wishes to you!

  • LdaQuirm

    About a year late based on the comment dates but I echo your concerns.

  • Ry’nard Littlefox

    I just realized something. Excelsior looks a lot like Reona. At first i just thought this was just her mimicking the form of the only female crew member, but dadelus, who’s never met Reona, also looks similer. HMM… curioser and curioser

  • good catch!

  • Green Arrow

    Hmm, hmmm???

  • John Smith

    The punniest of puns! :)

  • Graywolf7902000

    Author Existence Failure. And I agree, we don’t want that to happen to Lepas.
