Apologies for the delay, DrunkDuck's been such a pain lately.  I'm back on schedule though, and intend to keep it that way.  Please, DrunkDuck, don't fuck up on me again.  We've already missed two events (see back for them, I've updated), I don't want to miss my Week 100.
Oh, right!  Welcome to Week 100!
In this first image, we see an early script for what I assume would have been Week 1. We see that Lizzie was once called Elanor, and his homunculus was once called Socrates.
Oh, and he was a sort of sprite.
For a while, I'd planned on "Socrates" being a sort of enigma, as it was uncertain if he created it or summoned it. I'd had similar plans for the Imp before deciding upon a homunculus. I think it was considered that this light mote could be a homunculus, or some demon that was supposed to be helping him (but clearly not).
Eventually I trashed it as I could find no historical records to suggest anything that looked like that.
Gary's hair also didn't look as idiotic back then.
Also, with "Page 3," everyone say it with me - awwwww.
Comic tomorrow.
