We’re quite proud of this comic.

Before we get into the details, an announcement. We’re starting to phase into “Story arc” mode. We’ll be presenting multi-episode story arcs with “to be continue-ds” every week for weeks at a time.

Now, our philosophy over here at Missing No HQ is that every single comic should be able to stand alone, even if it’s in an arc. And we’re going to stick to that. You should never leave our site in the middle of an arc feeling that you’ve wasted a week. Every comic stands along, but they mesh into a deep storyline.

Our pencil artist found this comic to be a challenge. He’s still just getting used to drawing the characters themselves, and now he’s got to do an overhead shot? It turned out excellent, IMHO. I’m quite happy with the final result.

Well, we survived the thunderstorm.

Our first two-parter. (Not counting the first two comics, which were uploaded concurrently.) We are expanding a bit on our universe. We see the landlord, Tom Nook, and his bodyguard and secretary (the male and female characters from Animal Crossing, respectively. Apparently they had problems paying their rent, and have taken up employment with Nook himself).

Our inker referred to Tom Nook as “Nookler,” and the name has kinda stuck internally.

What is Link up to? Why is he attacking the landlord? Find out next week on our next edition of Missing Number.

Speaking of which, due to changes in The Real Life (both the penciler and colorist are changing jobs), we have decided to change the official update day to SATURDAY, 9PM. This will give us a day to finish up anything we had problems getting completed due to work schedules.
