Optiluiz's Day Off - Part VIII (Finale)



Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more, after yet another unexpected absence! I won't even bother explaining the reasons behind my disappearance this time, but I hope all is well with my dear readers. Today marks the epic conclusion of Optiluiz's Day Off, and I hope it was as ridiculous as you may have expected. This journey began months ago, and it's a strange feeling to finally see things realized, despite my failings as an artist.

Well, things have been hectic 'round these parts. My animatic project took a turn for the strange, and it will take a while before you guys get to see something from it (but I'm proud of the work I've done on it so far). Also, I'm back in my hometown after a delightful vacation, though the looming threat of college lurks on the horizon.

As far as media is concerned, I've finally finished Fallout 4, which had the traditional Bethesda ending that we know and... tolerate. I've also been reading the Once and Future King, which is pretty rad. I managed to score a lot of free stuff by trading old books at a used book store while I was at my grandfather's place, which is also cool. Judging by my recent haul, I guess I can finally consider myself a comic book collector. Oh, and I saw quite a few movies too, check out Green Room if you're up for a tense thriller starring the late Anton Yelchin. Zootopia is pretty good, too.

In any case, I'm happy that we've finally reached the end of this story. Optiluiz's Day Off was a test, to be honest, as I wanted to try something new whilst practicing my artwork and comedic writing. It may not be high art, but the process of making these comics was therapeutic as f***, so I'm glad I did it. Thank you all for joining me in this bizarre attempt at a web-comic.

That's all I have for now, true believers. Don't fret, however, as Optiluiz and company will return in a new adventure sooner than you may expect! I'll also be posting the full 2-page story somewhere soon, I promise! In any case, thank you once more for being here. It means a lot.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: Did you guys catch Stranger Things? It was basically the best part of my vacation, and I'm so happy that this series exists.

PPS: Speaking of Stranger Things, here's Optiluiz's Jam of the Week. Please don't judge me.
