Transcript: Hiatus Guest Episode by Maddy
A guest episode for Into the Smoke. Blaze appears smiling in a brightly lit room. Plants and rising steam are visible around him, and he appears to have apron straps over his bare, tattooed shoulders.
Another panel shows him cooking at the stove, squeezing a lemon into a pot of seafood. Multiple photos, magnets, and flyers adorn the side of the refrigerator. Blaze is wearing nothing but an apron over his gray boxer-briefs.
A final panel shows an alive Alastor, watching Blaze with an entranced expression.
We have our first guest episode up for hiatus, and all I can say is happy birthday to me, because I love this guest art so much. Every time I look at it, I find new details. (The photo on the fridge! Otto!!)
Big thanks to Maddy for contributing such an awesome piece, for brightening my day, and for giving me that bit of extra time to focus on work during hiatus. Y’all, join me in the comments because I need more people to gush about this with! 😀
Go check out more of Maddy’s work on Bluesky @madeofline!
An nsfw minicomic is going up on Patreon today, exclusively for people who support through the hiatus! Once ITS resumes, it’ll be locked away forever. (Okay, not exactly “forever,” but it will get locked away in a much higher tier and you’ll have to purchase the post separately instead of as part of your membership!)
Anyway, pledge here on Patreon during the hiatus to find out what happens when Blaze hooks up with someone living!
Speaking of digging up 4-year-old art for a voting incentive… This new one just might be relevant to our next scene after hiatus. Vote for ITS on Top Webcomics to see a 2021 Patreon sketch of Judd in his exorcism vestments!
Top Webcomics got a huge update/makeover after like a decade and a lot of people are checking it out, so now would be a really great time to try to get into the top 100, especially since today’s update comes nicely near the beginning of the month!
