About the comic

Alderton is an average town, the kind of place you visit to sleep in an inn, buy better equipment and maybe do some side quests. It’s a fine base for a novice adventurer, but not the sort of place you go back to once you’re strong enough to cross the bridge. A place vaguely remembered and easily forgotten by seasoned adventurers, but not so much for the people who live there. So what happens to the villagers after the hero leaves town? How do people live in a town with two weapon merchants and no grocery store?

New comics posted every Monday and Wednesday.

About the artist

Ryan Gunther is a standup comedian, writer, and now a comic artist who can’t draw. He grew up in a log cabin and walked a mile through the woods every day to a one-room red schoolhouse, an upbringing which is both unique and utterly cliché. In grade five he tested in the 99th percentile in both math and language, and he’s been pretty much coasting ever since. He has won a standup comedy award and toured a five-star fringe show to festivals across North America. He is trustworthy and kind to animals.
