The Andromeda Choice

(originally posted March 2022)

A man with a head in a bag
(so he said)
and a curved-shaped sword
came to me in my chains
and said he could deliver me
but demanded an exchange:
my life
as his wife.
So:
to live married to a stranger
whose personality could be terrible
but might be agreeable
or
to be eaten by a sea monster.
Being blackmailed into marriage is bad.
But I would rather not die for the principle.

Because of the way I assemble and then finalize my comic pages, the text can get shifted a bit when I change image resolution. When I was updating all the pages of Not a Cat Lady last autumn (yes, 2022) I made sure to check all the flattened images as I saved them. But in at least one case I missed something, and I bet I checked all the captions on page 48 (in chapter 23) but overlooked one other important bit.

So what looked like this at the original size of 300×300

panel 3 of page 48 of Not a Cat Lady, as it looked at 300x300 resolution

ended up looking like this at 150×150 when I posted the updated page online.

And I only caught the mistake today.

I hate this kind of error. Hate it hate it hate it. I could’ve caught it if I’d checked more carefully or simply remembered there was extra text in this panel. Rrrrrggh.

I’ve re-updated the page now, though.
