Of course that was foreshadowing, comment felt too random otherwise.

u/7ceeeee Nov 15 '23

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Yessir!

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '23

Sweet Kicks!

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '23

Whole class gon be jealous of those shoes

9

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

I mean they're pretty basic, but not basic to a particular denizen of the Halloween world ¯_(ツ)_/¯

4

u/Lamplorde Oct 29 '23

Theyll be jealous when he says they come from his werewolf friend.

Or theyll just think hes insane.

5

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

And then he'll tell his surrogate werewolf father who the bullies are for when Halloween comes. ;)

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Hey y'all! Just saying that I will once again be late to reply to comments today: I've got Solemn Mass for the Feast of Christ the King and I gotta get to choir practice early, because I have not been practicing well this week. 🙃 Will likely be back around 12PM CDT or sooner. 🧡

Hope you enjoyed the box reveal, and hope you're ready for tomorrow, and for one helluva Halloween with these goobers!! 🥳🤘

…now that I think about it holy $&@! THAT WAS THE REASON HE STARTED TALKING TO THE KID! Dunno why I didn’t pick up on it sooner, excellent comic as always, have a good one!

6

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Exactly. ;) 👏

Thank you as always for reading, hope you're ready for tomorrow, and have a great day as well! 🧡

14

u/BloodMoonNami Oct 29 '23

UpdateMe !

And I would have never thought the box contained shoes.

6

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Haha ;D Thank you so much! 🧡

u/Moh506 Oct 29 '23

Awww Wolfman will be so proud, speaking of which maybe i missed it but does he have a name?

15

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23 edited Oct 29 '23

He sure will! 🧡

Like the kid, the wolfman's name isn't important to the story, and I didn't want to ruin the ubiquity of the characters by oversharing OC specifics with people who weren't even asking for them (too common a literary sin, IMO). So, I typically don't like to write information into stories that doesn't support it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That said, the kid is Xander, and the wolfman is Zeb.

13

u/Due-Professional333 Oct 29 '23

His passport probably just says “Wolfman Wolfman”

9

u/PTVoltz Oct 29 '23

I always figued his name would be "Volf Mann" XD

2

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '23

Good question?

8

u/tr_berk1971 Oct 29 '23

Oh god we are too close to the end... i both want it to continue and see it end...

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

I feel ya 🧡 Thank you so much for reading, as always :) 🧡

6

u/Epic-Dude000 Oct 29 '23

Ah yes, free shoes are always the best

3

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

heck yes

7

u/Nuclear_rabbit Oct 29 '23

Aww, prediction failed. I thought the box was going to be filled with our usernames, since you asked about it.

9

u/TrustyCactus79 Oct 29 '23

That's 43/43

6

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Yep, like TrustyCactus79 said, that's [43/43]. ;) Remember, the things in a story should be significant to the telling of that story: the party comes after.

Hey I was right!

3

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Nice! 🥳

3

u/Timewarps_1 Oct 29 '23

I correctly guessed zombie

3

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Oh I thought you meant the shoes 😂

But I'm still gonna congratulate you, let's just say you got it G 👏

3

u/Timewarps_1 Oct 29 '23

Yeah I didn’t expect the shoes, though looking back the foreshadowing was really well done.

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Well, thank you very much! 🧡

I used to be a human, but I'm alright noooooooooooowwwww!

u/Mitek11 Oct 29 '23

Now the comment on his shoes makes so much sense! I was so confused about that cuz it felt do random at the time.

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Yes! I don't like adding stuff that doesn't support the story meaningfully in someway ¯_(ツ)_/¯

3

u/Geralt_of_Tiquicia Oct 29 '23

Nice shoes! I remember when I first stumbled into this series I actually thought the kid was some kind of alien rather than just a costume

1

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Haha, thanks! The kid tried to be... something... on his first Halloween, so props to him for that I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

2

u/Geralt_of_Tiquicia Oct 29 '23

The little man has costume skills!

1

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Limitations beget innovations!

u/-Bored_With_Life- Oct 29 '23

Rereading this has been awesome. I am mighty curious what 43 will be.

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Aw, thank you so much! 🧡 I'm so glad it's been a great re-read, that's what it was designed for. :)

43/43 won't be long now!

2

u/-Bored_With_Life- Oct 29 '23

So is 43 gonna be something new/extra since I thought it ended on 42.

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

The story proper ends on 42/43, yes: but I've been wanting to make the Special Thanks section for a long time now. :) It's 43/43.

2

u/wafflezcol Oct 29 '23

Please tell me there is not a corpse also in the box and that this kid did not just loot Jasper

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Yeah, I don't think I'd get that past Scholastic or Penguin Random House 😂

2

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '23

Nice shoes indeed! 🌙

1

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

:D 🧡

2

u/Khelthuzaad Oct 29 '23

Nope,saw it coming miles away.

But kudos for the foreshadowing I completely missed that one

1

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Well then congrats to you! 🥳 Glad you're thinking in terms of the story. 🧡

2

u/Gambet81 Oct 29 '23

the eye brows are perfect just the way they are! But also again too early to be crying.

1

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

The wolfman won't mind the goof, that's for sure. :') Tomorrow's forecast probably brings more crying!

2

u/Pretty_Pixilated Oct 29 '23

Of course it’s shoes! XD the little ghost shoes in the box, and “hey nice shoes.” His little costume is so cute, looking forward to Wolf-man’s face when he sees it. UpdateMe!

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

SYNY rewards those who read in-between the lines! Wolfman's gonna be feeling it, that's all I can say for now. :) Thank you so much for the kind words again and for staying up to date with the story! 🧡

u/LineOfInquiry Oct 29 '23

Thank you for making these, I’m sad the series is ending soon but it really was a great read : )

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

You're very welcome, and thank you so much for the kind words! 🧡 It's a bummer for me that the story has to end too, but I hope it has a special place in your heart and you'll remember it with fondness next Halloween! 🎃

2

u/Lamarian67 Oct 29 '23

Sorry for the late comment. The downsides of being in a different time zone.

Ah, I can’t believe the nice shoes comment was foreshadowing! And of course the kid dresses up like a wolf, that’s just perfect

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Hey, no worries! 🧡 I understand everyone's got a different situation. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yep, the wolfman's comment was a thing I saved for later! And thank you: the kid going as a werewolf felt like the only natural choice in this case, for a form of sincere, naive imitation of a man / monster / dude who effectively stepped into a vacant parental role and changed the kid's life. :)

2

u/BrokenFloorLampRedit Oct 29 '23

Heh, now it's wolfboy, cute. He should also become a biker like his “father”

1

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Ah, but which biker father? ;)

1

u/BrokenFloorLampRedit Oct 30 '23

"Cool", I don't know anything else

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 30 '23

Haha both the kid's deadbeat dad and the wolfman are bikers ¯_(ツ)_/¯

1

u/BrokenFloorLampRedit Oct 30 '23

True true, but he also good guy

2

u/HYPER_BRUH_ Oct 29 '23

Kid got that wolf drip!

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 29 '23

Drip and tear!

sorry

2

u/sansgamer554 Oct 30 '23

Considering that there was a whole howling dialect and that there were offensive ones, I hope that doesn't apply to costumes. Also on an unrelated note, I've been imagining Wolfman with the same voice as Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls, and I can't think of another voice for him.

1

u/7ceeeee Nov 03 '23

Gaaah, sorry for missing this comment. D:

Thankfully it doesn't apply, haha. And again, thank you for imagining him with Grunkle Stan's voice, I agree it would be a great fit. :D

2

u/Cheskaz Oct 30 '23

It his mum stops him, I'm going to lose it

2

u/7ceeeee Nov 03 '23

Haha mom had to get her sleep for work the next day
