It’s déjà vu all over again for Doc this week. As you might recall, we’ve put the good doctor through the proverbial wringer for the last…oh, TWO YEARS or so, and as you can see we are not letting up on the poor guy anytime soon.
First, we transformed him into a vampire. Then, under the influence of Dracula, we made him complicit in a plot to blot out the sun. After the aforementioned ordeals during Pitch Black Day, we put him on an island with a raging volcano when he craved nothing more than to rest and recuperate. And now, he’s been dragged into yet another adventure, one with eerie similarities to his recent traumas.
Are we sadists – just a bunch of mean dudes who enjoy torturing our characters? We’re writers…so, yeah, pretty much.
Be here NEXT WEEK, for a final panel you have to see to believe! If you thought we were done $%ing with Doc, then you’ve got another thing coming. In just 7 days, prepare yourself for a moment that will make you re-evaluate EVERYTHING you know about Doc and the Deep Dive Daredevils!
Welp, it’s been a crazy week here at the ThreeOneFive Ranch. We’ve really ramped up our workload, adding a heaping helping of Kickstarter fulfillment duties to our regular responsibilities here at home base. It’s all good though because last week we got a test print of some SotBS pages on the paper stock that we’re using for the comic, and it was an absolute THRILL to hold those pages in my hands for the first time. The look of ink on paper and the feel of it between your fingers – it’s nothing short of MAGIC!
Oh, and Dan and I hosted Evin’s bachelor party over the weekend! (Yes, he has in fact bamboozled some poor girl into making the worst decision of her life…marrying Evin Dempsey.) Since this is a “family” comic, unfortunately, I can’t divulge any details about the soiree, but I know for a FACT that Evin was feeling the after effects well into the days that followed.
Anyways, till next week!

Great page !!!
Grande Smilton, fantastic art!
Congrats to Evin!
Yes, finally I like Smilton’s art on EotEs just as much as I like yours on PBD.
Psst, don’t tell him, but I still prefer your style of drawing submarines.
Thanks. Danilo!
Yeah, Smilton is doing a FANTASTIC job. I love his new painting style, it brings a whole new life to his pages.
I wonder if you need metric or standard tool to work on that thing?
Nice Artwork, and nice touch with the bats!
It’s not like Doc has ever had a bad experience with anything bat related at all…
Now that he found the cave, can Doc become Batman?
Yes.
Doc does have many “wonderful toys” as the Joker said in BATMAN ’89, so technically he was already halfway to being Batman before discovering a cave full of bats.
Guys, didn’t you promise me that this adventure would be rather more shallow than PBD? And now Doc is again diving into the deep?
Must have misunderstood something …
Yeah, it’s funny where things lead.
I think overall the tone of EotEs is lighter than PBD, regardless, but Doc’s state following his encounter with Dracula pushed the story in directions during the scripting phase that were not in the original plot.
Doc’s demons demanded to be heard.
???? What good does it do to tap a geothermal for a primitive tribe who don’t even have internet?
In the first chapter the character that attempts to recruit Doc to help fix the machine in the Volcano mentions “marvelous technology.”
So, perhaps they used to have the internet?
Forget internet- I don’t even see signs of a telegraph. THIS tribe has no metals or wheels.
Oh good, first Dracula and now a literal Batcave; nice work, you guys.
Thanks, Crazyman. We aim to please!
Well this is quite the ‘evasive maneuver’. The irony here is the folks who keep on about how the natives are so “primitive” and yet that very statement keeps getting shut down.
Very astute, TKG.
We have a whole backstory for the Kajperean People, and the evolution of their society. Maybe someday we’ll tell it in backmatter, or something,
