This was a very difficult comic for me to make. Part of me wanted very much for me not to make it, and I had a bizarre fatigue hit me when it came time to make it that I'm not entirely certain wasn't directly related to it. I supose I could've just been sick from something else, but the timing of it...

GRR Martin of Game of Thrones fame I am not.

That aside, the circumstances of Blaike's death were too important to back down on. I can do character death when the story needs it. I might literally feel sick as a result, but I can do it.
