i did so much research on the hospital equipment, including talking to professionals and relating to them Trilby's condition and what equipment would be used, and one nurse even snuck into unoccupied ICU rooms at her place of work to take secret photos for me! :O she risked her job for Wet Moon!
the boy here is Trilby's brother Mat, who hasn't been introduced but i wanted another one of Trilby's several siblings to be there, since it was mentioned in a previous book that she has a large family. i figure the other siblings are older and off at other colleges or living in other cities. the others, including the already-introduced Minnie (also seen here), are Tila, Truman, and Wily; i'm not sure yet if they will be eventually introduced in the comic or not. i have lot of background material that never or barely gets used.
ANYWAY, this is the final preview page! thank you everyone who's been reading along and especially thank you to everyone who has commented, it's been very much appreciated. thank you to everyone who has bought the book or is planning to, too. i really hope the preview and my commentary were worthwhile, and for those of you who had been waiting since volume 5, i hope Wet Moon 6 is worth the wait.
thank you as always for all the support! it's super amazing and flattering and a total honor for me that anyone reads my stuff and even gives a tiny shit about it. you guys make this all possible, so thank you for this amazing cartooning career i've been able to pull off for the last 9, almost 10 years (i think?). i've been so lucky and i'm so grateful.
THANK YOU!!!! <3 <3 <3
so now that the mushy stuff is out of the way, even though the WM6 preview is over, i want to keep posting here with exclusive Wet Moon stuff. i've been thinking about posting other people's fanart, character profiles/bios (what their favorite books/movies/etc. are, stuff like that), and maybe a behind-the-scenes/making-of for Wet Moon 7, but i'm not sure if that would be too spoilery. what do you guys think? any other ideas or anything you're particularly interested to see?

This is so cool! I love your comic. Are you the owner of water baby? If so, then I am obsess with that comic for years and it never got out my head since then. This comic just pull me right in and I know I will never go away. :D
ReplyDeletethank you!!
Deleteyep, i did Water Baby, too! that's me. i'm really glad you like it, thanks!!
Thank you for posting these previews! You're a big inspiration.
ReplyDeleteyou're welcome, and thank you so much for reading. :)
DeleteMat is hot, heh. that's such an awesome story about the nurse taking super secret pics for Wet Moon research! also really cool that you put that much thought and realism into it. :)
ReplyDeletei hope i can bring Mat back for some real page-time but not sure, there are so many characters! it was difficult and overwhelming doing the hospital/medical research but i think it was worth it. :)
DeleteYou know, I think you did something unprecedented in comics history: research into how medicine works in real life!
ReplyDeleteMy friend's a paramedic and I'm often showing him comics that depict silly, wrong and stupid medical stuff. I sent him the link here to show him how a real pro does medical stuff in comics.
ooh, a paramedic friend, huh? is your friend open for possible contact for research in the future? ;)
DeleteIt's pretty crazy to think it's been that long. I still remember the pre-published Wet Moon and the Fall pic I bought is still one of my most treasured possessions.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I unpacked my Wet Moons after a year of them being in boxes, during which I apparently missed the latest publishing; so glad my move is over and my new house is going to have some new amazing books. Thank you so much for these--I found Unseen Feet in my comic shop back in 2006 and have been following ever since. You're an incredible artist.
ReplyDeletethank you again, Jorja, i feel like a broken record! :) and especially thank you for reading Wet Moon and being a fan for all this time. <3 i'm really happy you like my work! thank you!!
