< Happy birthday to me, I just turned 33, But I still make sprite comics, Happy birthday to me! Seriously, though, today is indeed my 33rd birthday, but that has nothing to do with this page, so enough about that. Hi, Cookirini! Readers of Vol. 2 should be familiar with this character, who played a big role in the first major story arc, particularly in Chapter 7 . She’s one of the very few OC’s created by other people who’ve been grandfathered into Vol. 2 (and now also Vol. 1), thanks to me still being in touch with her creator, Jessica Davis. And she is a massively important character to Eon’s World, so I was eager to get her introduced early in Vol. 1. As originally conceived in Eon's Comic, Cookirini was an old friend of Eon’s, and that became very important later on. But I never really showed them interacting early on, at least not in a way that would suggest a strong friendship. But then I had a moment of inspiration. I’d also never established how Eon learned to swordfight. It was just a skill he had, without any explanation. In the fanfic where Eon first debuted, I hand-waved it by saying he was self-taught, but that’s not very plausible, is it? But then I had an idea. What if Cookirini taught him? After all, she can swing a sword, too, she’s a few years older than Eon (Eon’s 16, she’s in her early-to-mid 20’s at this point), and it explains how they came to be friends. A lot of what this chapter is about is introducing the main OC’s in Eon’s World, so it’s a little domestic to start with, I fully admit. But if jeopardy and peril are more your speed, be sure to come back tomorrow.

Happy Birthday!
About this comic format...it's SOOO much easier to read, now that it's bigger! Before, I had to squint and increase my browser magnification to read it, so this is so much better! (I never said anything about it before, because I didn't want to come off as a complainer. Also, I live by the rule of, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Heh.)

Thank you for the birthday wishes!
Sometimes constructive criticism is useful. But yeah, the old format was bad even for me to read. Maybe I'm just getting older and suffer eye strain more easily, but I think a big part of it also is that I started making Eon's World on an old CRT monitor my family got in like 1998, which had a much lower resolution, so it all looked a lot bigger on screen. As resolution has got higher, pixels have got smaller. So, yeah, doubling the size of the finished panels is definitely an improvement. XD
