Here are two songs to close the chapter with as we fade to black on the scene: one that fits tonally , and one that fits lyrically .

And with that, the end of Chapter 2. I promised there would be at least some closure,
and here it is. Did Josiah and Daniel do the deed together? Yes. Yes they did. Now you
know.

Along with the rest of the world.

Poor Josiah.

This was never supposed to happen, actually. I've talked a lot about the original
version of this story and all that, but even in the updated versions this was not part
of the plan, not until very recently in fact. So far Easy has been about dealing with personal demons,
the things people are too afraid to let out into the world and such. That's all well and
good, but the irony of storytelling is that any internal demons one might be facing are
automatically on display for the audience, so nothing is really and truly internal, is
it? So I started thinking, what would happen if Josiah knew people were reading his
story?

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU FOUND OUT PEOPLE WERE READING YOURS?

I know, pretty heavy stuff, right!?

But more to the point: what happens when a person's demons get out into the world before they're
ready? How much more difficult would it be to deal with your own personal issues when
they're on display for everyone else to see?

Well, Josiah is about to find out firsthand.

He still has a long way to go, but hopefully over the next few chapters we'll be able to
answer at least a few of those questions.

As always, thanks for reading!

This is still one of my favorites. Now that I'm almost done with the third chapter, we'll finally get to see more of the fallout/explanation of what the deal is with this picture!

GOD!
Did NOT expect that!

Poor Josiah, I am sure he doesn't appreciate the fact that everyone knows!
When are we getting the next chapter?!

Sometimes I feel like a jerk for the things I put this poor guy through. If he ever met me in real life he would probably beat me up.

Knowing the end of this chapter was coming up I waited till now to tell you this - I've been enjoying this story far more than I ever thought I would when I first stumbled across it. At first it was, "Oh, a story" as I read the first few pages that were out, but didn't get invested because (due to other people's track record) didn't think the story would go very far. Then I stumbled on it again, surprised to see how much more was done. I kept checking back and as the weeks went by I suddenly realized I was looking forward to the next page. I don't follow many people, but you got me hooked. I think you've been doing an excellent job, both in writing and your story telling with your artwork, which I can tell you are becoming more and more comfortable with - you're "settling into our style".

Keep up the good work!

Wow man, thanks! That really means a lot. It's been a learning process for sure, but overall I think I'm learning new things with each page I do. And to be honest, I've kind of surprised myself with this comic too. I've tried to get a lot of projects going but they always seemed to fizzle out for some reason. I definitely don't blame you for being skeptical (especially considering one of those false starts was an earlier version of this comic), but I can say with confidence that I'm far past the point where I would ever consider stopping now. This tale still has a pretty long way to go, but I am bound and determined to see it through to the end!

No problem, I was just being honest

I'm glad to hear you're excited with your project. I am all too familiar with projects fizzling out - I've had many of my own, so I totally understand how it happens. It helps when you have a passion for what you're working on.  When you do, in turn, it shows in the work you produce... and it has in yours.

Anyway, for what it's worth you have at least one person who looks forward to each next page and excited to see how it all plays out.

Glad to hear it man. Knowing there are people out there following along and enjoying the store makes it the experience of creating it all the more rewarding.

Bombshell.

Chapter 3: Denial, Repression and Depression

If people were reading my story..... I keep trying to start this sentence and it's difficult. I cannot fathom what what would be like, any secret is only a secret as long as it not widely known.


Edit:
The sandwich on page 1 of chapter 2, there was mention of it being revealed what was in it, now the chapter is over and the sandwich still eludes me.....
Damn you and your brilliant cliffhangers.

Yes, I did in fact go back and re-read the whole chapter and yes, I did read it back to front (the comic, not me).

Yeeeeah, when I tried to answer it for myself the phrase "shame chamber" kept coming up for some reason...

The details of the sandwich are actually incredibly important, so you'll have to forgive me if I don't offer any hints. It's kind of like the Rosebud of the whole series, and once it is revealed everything is going to make weird, profound sense. Maybe!

Shame chamber evokes some strange images.

I love that, I can just see Josiah rolling over and as he slips of to sleep, the dildo falls from his hand, he whispers the secret ingredient in his sandwich.
I now can't stop thinking of Rosebud and sandwich as euphemisms.....
