On the heels of Canada Day is, as always, the Fourth of July. Today I've been at work on this comic, trying to get it done early so I won't have to rush it and miss the fireworks show or miss the midnight deadline.
The idea for this one actually came from a conversation a few days ago with Tristan Aileron himself, and his reaction to my telling him about how things have been going at the iRO Fifth Year Anniversayr Festival at Hugel.

And as much as I make stuff up or exaggerate, this is quite true. The only thing that isn't would be Troy's begging people to stop beating him; he's more of a sore winner than sore loser. If you're surprised by Tristan's weakness, well ... he WAS a swordie once.
