A Sickly Delay and a Small Geographical Retcon (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone! Unfortunately, Leslie's been sick this weekend and we weren't able to get a page done. It's nothing serious, just the weather over here has done a number on Leslie's sinuses. Part of living in a particularly humid climate - a sudden weather shift can fill your head full of gunk, put a ton of pressure on your face, and just make you extremely tired. I'm luckier in that I just got an itchy throat from this weather change, but that just means I can take care of Leslie during this trying time. Doctor Brad has prescribed Leslie lots of rest, home-cooked meals, and Planet Zoo. Sorry for the delay, but we'll be back on Friday!
Though on a related note, we'll be doing our first ever just straight up retcon of some previously relayed story information in Rock Cocks. Rather than traveling to Miami, Florida, the gang will instead be traveling to Atlanta, Georgia. We've edited the previous pages where that was established to reflect this change, which would be the ones I uploaded above.
As for why we've made that change... I can't deny that the current political landscape has made it a uh, awkward prospect to write our polyamorous LGBTQ+ rock group to travel to and party in. A Florida chapter has been planned since the beginning of this comic, but considering these characters and ourselves as creators, it's just not something we're comfortable with at this time. Maybe in the future? Who knows.
But beyond geopolitics, we also realized that there's some really fun story opportunities using Atlanta as a setting. While we can't divulge TOO much without spoiling anything, we came up with some very fun ideas for what the gang can do in Atlanta, and a certain upcoming character's connection to the city. We're really excited about it - so much so that once this chapter is over, Leslie and I are planning to take a road trip there for some reference scouting! We haven't done reference scouting since, well, the evacuation trip that landed us in Arkansas and inspired this whole camping arc. We're excited to hit the road again and take some pics to help build this next Rock Cocks chapter!
That's all for now, though. See you on Friday!
