Update 10/16/2015

New page is up: http://zoophobiacomic.com/post/131261848729

Definitely an improvement over the last page, I'll say. Vivz will probably update it, but I have a feeling "I'd like to get more to know you" isn't just Gustav's accent. Oh well. Backgrounds are still a bit underwhelming.

Ah, you beat me to it. 

It does look like we're moving on from those two for now though... still seems a bit rushed that they instantly move to "let's get together later".  Could just be a small thing though. 

Also the outside shots are usually the more visually impressive since here it's just a bit empty.

Glad to get more Mackenzie screentime, nonetheless.

backgrounds are underwhelming for you because its not the focal point of this page, where the focus is just on addi and gustav. keep in mind this is a webcomic so time spent on each page is fairly limited to maintain a weekly schedule.

But you gotta admit Vivz doesn't like drawing interior backgrounds. Aside from not bothering to add a background to the 150$ dollar commission, Zechariah's office is a 1000sq feet room with nothing but a desk and a cute beanie bag in the middle. Addison's house is rather sparse; his mother doesn't appear to believe in drawers or kitchen equipment. And the school's hallway wall is straight up a massive Eldritch wall that's at least 2 stories tall and barely decorated.

That said, I actually kind of like the background here, since it contains actual people in it. Besides, Vivz does outdoor backgrounds very well; it was that Fish of Peace panel that drew me in the comic.

I believe someone has mentioned this before, but this is the art room. It's more or less the fact that the background is dull in this specific setting. After all, would there not be artwork on the walls? Or in the very least equipment/utensils in the background? It just seems strangely drab for the type of room, that's all.

Shame, Mackenzie has a rather neutral look on her face. I was hoping she'd get suspicious of Gustav's flirting with Addison and get back at the guy for humiliating her.

Well crap, that was a really nice catch. I had completely forgotten about that. If that happens... I will forget all my gripes with the last few pages. Considering how Mackenzie is looking at it...

I am hopeful.
