Guest Comic by Seb Tourenne (Annotated)
Hmm, seems I’m up to about one tweet per year. Am I not getting too dangerously addicted??

I’m not sure what if anything Seb Tourenne’s been up to lately. He seems to have left Twitter in its early days and didn’t put anything on DeviantArt after his work for us. I’ve sent him a friend request on Facebook, but that was a while back.
This is a good strip with a lot of fun callbacks in a relatively short space, and Seb had a good handle on colorful fantasy art. He was the other major candidate to take over the strip when Erica left, and I have no regrets about John, but I do wonder how Seb would’ve done.
As his alt text shows, Phil was more into the Syr’gg shipping than I was (I can’t very well call it “Fr’Nj shipping”). My feeling was that I’d done the whole “sparring partners who sublimate sexual passion” thing with Penny and Aggie and less prominently with Fans, and I wasn’t terribly eager to go right back down that road. But fan hearts want what they want, y’know?
I can see the similarity with Erica’s style.
Is Bandit doing the Snoopy dance? :P
I wonder, would this technically be considered shipping? By the looks of it, Syr’Nj has every intention of keeping this a one night stand.
If anything, swearing off mead would probably be her take away from this experience.
Looks like Seb owns a graphic design firm in UAE, which is apparently still running, so I suppose he’s still doing okay, if perhaps not doing his own art very often anymore.
Hi, I’m Seb! This is mostly head on – I’m doing okay, not doing much art at all, not hanging out on social media either… toiling along a mostly
boringnormal daily life. John was definitely the much better artist choice for this outstanding webcomic, I have have had nothing like his productivity! I appreciate the nod, however, it’s been fun doing a standalone page, and an honor to be featured. Thanks!!I was on Team Fr’Nj, but I suppose I could embrace Syr’gg if it’s pronounced “surge”.
I kinda wanted Syr’gg, though I knew it would never be much of an official thing, if at all. That’s just how my shipping tendencies go, I suppose. Canon or not, this was appreciated.
Just an FYI. The next page icon on this page does not work.
Nevermind. It works now.
