Dad Summer

Panel 1:
*August, Rory (Polar Bear), and Gray (Penguin) are talking to each in their work uniforms. Rory looks down at her watch with a confused look*
Rory: “Hey, have you guys seen Des? It’s practically noon.”

Panel 2:
*Both August and Rory look over to Gray who looks down and continues mopping where he is*
Gray: “He said he had to take the day off for some important errands now that Sasha’s back in school. I’m covering for him.”

Panel 3:
*Des sitting in a lounging beach chair, wearing sunglasses and a bathing suit and holding a mug with “#1 DAD” printed on it. In the yard is a water-filled, inflatable kiddy-pool, a garden hose, and a portable speaker playing some tunes. There’s also a solid-board picket fence, a small, concrete-slab porch, and a house*

Giving this another go. Here’s a recap:

Panel 1:
*anthropomorphic dog sitting under a tree*
“This is August.”

Panel 2:
*3 scenes of August riding a train, riding a bike, and mopping a floor in different costumes*
“Every day, he takes the Red Line to JFK and rides his bike to work at UMass as a janitor.”

Panel 3:
*various instant camera prints with a particular focus on one depicting August and 3 other characters (left to right: puma, penguin, August, polar bear) with the label “Grey’s Birthday”*
“Sometimes, after work, his coworkers go out for drinks or do something fun around town. It’s a good crew.”

Panel 4:
*shot of a partially cloudy sky*
“A life of honest work and good company. Who could ask for more?”

Should I post a ton of finished comics to Fur Affinity all at once? Or should I slowly release them using PostyBirb? Pros and cons of PostyBirb? I have never used it before. From cursory research, it looks trustworthy. Thanks!

Invitation

Page one of three of a short comic. Nine panels depict a wolf pulling into a roadside coffee stand called "Nether Coffee," where the barista asks increasingly invasive questions: "Hi there! What can we get started for you...where are you headed today...what's your social security number?" The driver is handed a bag of blood and answers "Five" to the barista's amusement. He drinks from it as he drives. There is a road atlas in the otherwise empty passenger seat of his sedan.

In this next page, the car is show pulling off into an exit titled "Forest Hills Exit." The car pulls into a suburban home's driveway and the wolf gets he luggage from the trunk, then rings the doorbell. He thinks, "I know. I was invited by friends who wanted to see me. But there is still that moment of humility, approaching their domicile, alone..."

In the final page, the door is opened and he is enthusiastically welcomed into the house by several friends. He thinks, "...without it, there wouldn't be such a moment of grace. His friend says, "Oho! Look who's here! Please...come in!" The wolf is shown beaming at the final invitation and stepping over the threshold of the entrance, and thinks, "I really appreciate such affirmation."
