Hello! Here it is, the last page. I am finished with Pygmalion! I hope you liked it. I enjoyed the making of it, if only to be able to attempt to express things I think about that can’t be expressed quite the same way elsewhere.
As far as what happens now, I have a few things coming down the pipeline. For one, many of you are aware that I am going to be drawing a continuation of the Lint story. For this purpose, I spent an entire week making this video, for People Who Haven’t Read Lint:
Those of you who have read Lint will probably like it more than people who haven’t.
Between now and when I post the THE END page here on Pygmalion, I’m going to be doing two things: 1) making a hardback version of Pygmalion in Space available for purchase through Lulu, and 2) doing my least favorite of all things: building websites for new comics.
Here are the three things I want to do regarding website building:
1) Make purnicellin.com a main hub for all of my webcomics
2) Create a website for the next Lint story, which will be titled “Lintier” XD
3) Create a website for a new, previously unmentioned project called “Farley’s Forde”. It’s a historical fantasy webcomic comedy written by Ron based in Colonial America.
I’m really not looking forward to the website setup. This is my least favorite part of comic creation by far. If, for some weird reason, I had to become a computer programmer, I would probably stab myself to death (with a pencil, as my last revenge to the keyboard).
So, when I update Pygmalion for the last time with THE END PAGE, look for the comic in hardback link as well as links to new comics.
IN OTHER NEWS: Phenoca wrote a rather large fanfic for Lint, centering around Juan the cigar hermit, Regnar, Fang in Rascaline, and a bunch of goblins! (Ronaldo!) I like how he fleshes out the Rascaline culture especially, and also it’s fun to see another person write Fang (and do it rather convincingly!) Read it HERE.
Love you guys! Thanks for reading!

What is this, Christmas? Two updates in a week, special times. I did mention that school and work have finished for the summer and my brain has this way of yelling “FEED ME SEYMORE” except it doesn’t know anyone named Seymore, which leads to all kinds of problems. I try to feed it anyway. All I know is, my creativity has jumped about 10 points up on the creativity graph in the past week due to being unoccupied by math formulas.
This is the next-to-last page of Pygmalion. After I post the last page, I’m going to get it bound and available in hardback (because I want one, and if you happen to want one, you’ll be able to get one, too), then start in on my next project, which is another story within the Lint-verse, that baby universe that I enjoy visiting so very much. I’ll keep you updated on what and how I plan to do it when I post the final page.
Also, a good way to keep up with my updates and projects is to follow me on Twitter at colbyfromage.
Thanks for reading!

Oh sure, the math points to it, but it isn’t like anyone’s going to go into a black hole to find out. And yes, this is titled after the speech by Stephen Hawking!
I have rewritten the ending for Pygmalion probably about five times. I even started the alternate ending (with a whole page halfway done) before scrapping it and going in another direction. Then I started another alternate ending (the page being mostly done) before scrapping it. This final ending is the product of a whole lot of labor, so I hope you enjoy it!
(It’s not over)
There’s an incredible article in Discovery magazine this month about this very subject! Check it out, I say, fast as you can. There’s even a small section regarding the idea that the reality we think we are experiencing theoretically could be only a projection of an actual reality occurring somewhere else. Good stuff.
So what have I been doing!!! Not updating, that’s what! Okay, so I went to NASA and it was an amazing experience and here is a picture of me with my robotics team, and our little rover in the front (I’m in the blue shirt in front). After that I came home, interviewed, and was awarded a full scholarship to study aerospace engineering (yay for things like that!). Then I had finals. I’ve been out of school for a week and my brain is already protesting the lack of things to do, and so here I am. Painting space is F-U-N.
Also I didn’t notice anyone commented on my last page until 1/2 hour ago. I was like, “Oh well, I guess that was the boringest page ever.” But then I saw there were comments! No idea why I’m not getting notified all of a sudden when someone comments. Anyway, thanks for commenting, and most especially for reading!
