When I get the buffer rebuilt, we’ll start updating again. This hiatus is not permanent.

Godsend. Chapter 1, Page 1
it begins! i’ll be uploading a page a day all this week in order to speed us along, and then after that, it’s a page a week.
I love this comic to death, but as a minor nitpick, “prodigal” doesn’t mean “wandering.” It means given to expenditure and waste. (Same root word as “prodigious”.)
Lower left panel, “nuRturing” is missing the first R.
Agree with Sk

well, i’m not the writer, but in this instance i support his word choice. words are not confined to their strict dictionary meaning, and frequently take on connotations. here, it’s a reference to the story of the prodigal son, from the bible, who left home but ultimately returned. the word choice comes from the reference, not the dictionary.
I think the real definition works here, whether the author knew it or not. They abandoned the world. Sounds pretty wasteful of their expenditures to me.
Actually, after reading the next page, I think the real definition was intended.
OK, maybe not. I just don’t know anymore.
Fantastic first page! I love the designs for the gods, as I mentioned before I am particularly partial to the boar god. I like how all of the hands are drawn on this page, their wrists are all so delicate.
