Today is March the 21st. The 80th day of the year in the Gregorian calend-- Oh, wait. You've already heard this shit before.

Well, what can I say? Another year of 'The Laconic Student's Dilemma'? How crazy is that! Re-reading last year's anniversary page made me cringe a whole lot. Very tryhard and honestly my art has improved leagues since then. I also think that my characters' personalities and backstories are more solidified now and my works are something to finally be proud of for once. Honestly, I think besides all that, the BIGGEST change of all was converting the comics into a written format. I'd debated doing that for a while, and my goodness has my creative output improved! I feel like, through writing, I'm able to tell the story I want to tell more accurately. I also have had some more time to thoroughly think things through and plan everything out. Like, did you guys know I have a planned ENDING for the story already?! Yeah. I've been pretty meticulous!

Anyway, I hope to finish book volume one soon. I'm getting closer, I'd say I'm about a little over halfway done. This series won't be ending for some time, so don't worry about that. I have lots of different arcs that still need to be explored, and characters that we haven't met yet. So stay tuned, and don't touch that dial!

This year's recap is a lot shorter because I honestly don't have all that much to say or show off. I think my late 2025/early 2026 art output has been substantial and I'm very glad to have improved in both style and technique. I hope to keep improving my art, and I hope to keep writing. Here's to many many MANY MANY MANYYYYYY more great years of 'The Laconic Student's Dilemma' and Palmist's House!
