And... that is it. The End.

Thank you for reading.
It started off as a daily-project, to see if I could convey motion, sound and emotion, all without colour, onomatopoeia and speech/thought bubbles. I believe I succeeded at some points, failed at others and generally made a mess of things.

However, it was fun to do, though not too fun in the middle of June, when I took a brief hiatus and ended up with a twenty day backlog. It expanded into nearly a month, before I started hacking at it. I promised to finish the story by the time I finished clearing the backlog, and today, I did.

I might come back, add a new strip now and again, but that depends.
If you take a look, you would find that from as realistic as I can get with black, white and grey, the drawing style shifted gradually into a more cartoony one. Interesting to watch the transition in style. All in about three months too.

Another aim of this was to keep me drawing, and I believe it helped. It was fun, and at times, onerous, but now, at the end of things, I almost wish it was not over. I may have more ideas, but I think, this is the best way to leave things. The Quantum Butterfly, the Big Dragon and the family of cats with their endless trouble involving the about two, regardless of generation.

I believe I indicated the end of the first arc with a sketchy look, and it was only appropriate, to end the comic with the same look; a sketchy panel followed by a relatively thoughtful panel. The previous had a maple leaf in the darkness just to indicate time passing. This one, the Quantum Butterfly, to show that things, while no longer being drawn, are still carrying on. The butterfly's the source of trouble, after all.

Once again, thank you to all of you who read the strip.
A big shout-out to my sisters, especially the younger ("Sad kitty sad").
It was great having you two reading it, and that was sometimes the sole motivation for me to keep working at this.

Have a good one!
