Hi! I'm just putting cute stuff in my comic instead of trying to be funny.

Look at these wholesome little cutie-pies!

My new favorite ship dynamic is whatever on earth this is (from the webcomic Pepsiaphobia)

I discovered this awesome webcomic at the beginning of the year. I was reading the TV Tropes article, “The Unpronounceable” when I saw the image of characters struggling to say her real name. 

Mania is from Gastrophobia/Pepsiaphobia by @gastrophobia

I just thought I’d clarify that Pepsia didn’t magically go from sharp angles to round curves after socially transitioning to female.

I put a little bit of thought into her construction. She's a little thinner, but still has the same basic form stretched out.

I also deliberately redesigned her from the now ret-conned version of volume 4 where she presented as a feminine boy because I felt like she deviated from her original design too much.

Still! Even this version has a boxy construction despite being purposefully feminine.

In this comic, Mania realizes that at any given moment she has at least two hands.

Maraud à Trois part 5 (the end).

Though you can read them as the same comic if you like, I consider Pepsiaphobia to be the sequel to Gastrophobia, which ended with season 3.

So, this episode was basically me tying up loose ends from my previous webcomic. 😉

We’re used to seeing $ on money bags as cartoon shorthand, but these are drachma, so it wouldn’t make any sense. I was originally going to use ₯ for the money bags, but Δρ fits better with the Ancient Greek aesthetic.

Huh. Klepto's sister reminds me of someone.

Yessss!

Klepto & Mania finally corrupted Phobia! All their hard work's paid off!

Note: This is a flashback. Nobody’s dead-naming Pepsia.

Hi! :) I love <3 your comic btw. How long (episodes and seasons) is PepsiaPhobia going to be? Thank you! <3 :)

I don't know!

I have 3 more episodes planned, but ideally, I'll have 10-13 episodes total for the season.

It's possible this is the last season since I got Phobia's story pretty much wrapped up now (part of why the focus shifted to Pepsia).

If I come up with some really good ideas, I might continue it for another season after this, but it'd be nice to start a new comic and tell some different stories with different characters after I finish this season.

Either way, it'll be a few years before I finish Pepsiaphobia.

Since most of my back stock of Gastrophobia books were destroyed in Hurricane Harvey, I’ve been wanting to reprint them under my real name.

Since my original artwork for volume one had NO flatting, I have to recolor everything to make it fit for CYMK printing. I to re-letter everything with my personal font anyway.

After I started, I realized re-lettering apparently involves redrawing the word balloons so the dialog actually fits. Might as well fix some anatomy mistakes I made early on while I’m editing line art.

It bugs me how the character designs for Phobia & Klepto were different for the first 6 chapters. It’s not too major an edit to change them to match the rest of the comic, so I’ll just…

Wait.

Some of chapter 4 was ret-conned later on. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to add a little bit of foreshadowing. I want to draw a dysphoric Mania…

OH HEY, I THINK I’LL REDRAW MOST OF CHAPTER 6 AND ADD SOME BRAND NEW PAGES!

Okay, yeah, this kinda snowballed into me drawing new pages of comics that I won’t be showing publicly for at least a year from now. Maybe longer. I’ve been putting them on my Patreon as I finish them since January 2021.

Look! According to the meter, I’m nearly halfway done!

I’d be very grateful if you subscribed. I also put pages of Pepsiaphobia on Patreon early. (Link in bio!)

Is Pepsiaphobia on hiatus? (It’s okay if it is, because you seem to have a HUGE workload with Yellow Brick Ramble and remastering Volume One of Gastrophobia).

Yes. I don't know how long a hiatus, but it will probably be over a year. At least I was kind enough not to end on a cliffhanger this time. ;)

You were probably asked this a lot, but what was your inspiration for Gastrophobia/Pepsiaphobia?

Darkwing Duck was a huge one. It's about an egotistical single parent hero.

I thought a heroic fantasy setting like Groo or ElfQuest would be fun. My college thesis was a 24-page comic based on the myth of Persephone, so I guess I had ancient Greece on my mind.

The underlying conflict of the series is a sort of Odd Couple set up where Phobia's a barbarian warrior, but her kid's assimilated into Greek culture.

I kinda put some Bobby Hill into Pepsia as a starting point, but also used a lot of myself as a kid, which is why she turned out both trans and ADHD.

I made Klepto a slave because Phobia's an outcast in Greek society and she needed an adult friend who was also an outcast.

Mania/Mina the dog is directly based on my ex-roomates' pomeranian.

Mania/Krphxyzwlps is a chimera of sorts. She has a centipede-like shape, but a spider head, ant's mouth, moth antennas, a bee torso, cockroach wings, dragon body. She has an endoskeleton just like we do.

Philia is based partially off obscure Peanuts character, Charlotte Braun. That's not a joke. Google her.

I really liked how all the characters in Urusei Yatsura had major character flaws which defined them, so I tried to do that with my characters.

I just noticed Mina's new name! I remember wondering what the pay-off/narrative purpose of two Manias would be. Never in a thousand years would I have thought that that we'd get a transgender Pepsia! I've been reading GastroPhobia since before I discovered some things about my own gender and it warms my heart to see the story continue, and in ways I never knew I'd relate to back then. Sorry for the ramble; I love your work <3

Thanks! 💕 I love getting feedback like this!

Oh, no, no! You're okay!

"Gastrophobia" is just fine!

I consider Pepsiaphobia to be a sequel to Gastrophobia, so both names are correct. You didn't deadname my comic! 😉

Answering this publicly so everyone knows it's okay.

Pepsia likes horses. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
