You sure the unit will get loaded then?
Oh well, I guess this is a new Switch unit after all, the flaw has been fixed.

I heard that there is a better battery life, and afaik a better battery too, so I'm pretty sure it'll get fully loaded even while heavily playing.

Hmmm... well, if it is heavy playing then I guess you will have to be careful of using some rugged protection.

Great art style, but somehow I don't get it.

I suppose a new panel will follow soon as a continuation.

@Chary is quite correct. We've decided to take Temper Tantrums in a new direction and add a little narrative to the comic. You'll still see regular comedy skits like the ones you're used to, but this issue marks the beginning of something bigger. Old Tempy and Modern Tempy now have a new friend, expect the trio to go on some wacky adventures going forward.

Y'all are dirty. Just saying.

Pretty sure it's the beginning of a multi-strip comic, like Chary said. I mean, it's titled "New Beginnings," for crying out loud.
And I just got ninja'd with a reply. Dang it.

I think this is the much needed step in the right direction. Unpopular opinion here, but I think the jokes were never the strong point, it was the art. Making it into a story with a few jokes here and there would be really interesting. Maybe in the future you could make it into a physical comic book!

As some of you have noticed, the team took a little downtime over the last couple of weeks and releases were sparse - that doesn't mean we weren't working, however. So far Temper Tantrums were a little disjointed, so we brainstormed together a way to tie a nice bow around it all. We hope you'll all enjoy it!

Will the narrative comics be done by one artist (i.e. the one who comes up with the story, I'd suppose) with standalone strips being done by other artists, or will the narrative be illustrated by different artists as well?

Have you ever played the kind of game where you finish each other's sentences? Very hilarious things can come of that. As long as they discuss amongst themselves to have a general direction, the experimentation and diversity would make things great imo.

That part of the comic will not change - there are multiple artists on the team, each with their own unique art style, and we want to put that front and center - it keeps things interesting and fresh. I don't want to divulge too much information though, you'll have to tune in next time to see future issues.

Instabuy, count me in.

Seems to me since she's obviously different because of her eyes, and sometimes people don't take kindly to that, she saw that Tempy had a Switch with two different colors and made a connection. I can recall a moment where I was talking with someone who was different, in a way, and the same thing had happened. There was someone who had the same difference as the guy I was talking to, and he was watching. Before that we hadn't talked much. But I assume because he saw that I was accepting, after that, he opened up to me quite a bit and grew to like me a lot. He was pretty cool, too.

Interested in seeing more of this!

Brilliant. I would definitely play the new unit while "charging".

Vagina port.... How mature

Vagina port.... How mature

I don't know how people got that impression, the Tempies were talking about the Switch, not their new companion. I like how things immediately veered towards Rule 34 the moment we introduced a female protagonist, we truly are on the Internet. I can't fault our readers though, she is a cutie.

Ok, now I'm kinda glad I didn't get the joke. I'm not ready for vagina ports...

I don't know how you wouldn't. Her face is a Switch and she very obviously fixes the two design flaws mentioned, both in a sexual way.
