Tom posted a time lapse video of him drawing the cover art for Traveller, a side comic with Paz and her/a puppy! A little emotional relief from the current chapter. plus.google.com/+TomSiddell

And here is the finished product: These cover pages keep getting better with every new one.

This sounds like her time in Spain while she was gone for the summer.

This sounds like her time in Spain while she was gone for the summer. I thought Tom said the Paz side comic would take place during summer break and I assumed he meant the break in between Year 9 and Year 10. But Paz looks pretty young in this artwork so maybe Traveller is the story of how Paz came to the Court. I am ecstatic either way, but the latter would be more interesting than " see the family, go to the beach". I am guessing that Traveller is the puppy. I think it is a good name for a dog.

Has Tom said when he expects this to be available? This looks wonderful, Paz is one of my favorite characters. Plus, as pointed out, with the current depressing start to the chapter The Tree I could really use a happy GC story right about now.

On his tumblr account, Tom said "Here is the cover artwork for Traveller, my next side comic. The comic is all finished and will be available soon! It’s all about Paz." Your definition of soon may not be the same as Tom's. I don't recall hearing how he going to distribute the side comic. At the start of the 14th second of the time lapse video, Tom opens an album that shows some of the pages in the side comic. It only flashes up for a fraction of a second, but with some patience, you can pause it just at the right moment. It is really too fuzzy to see what is going on in the pages. But if you're desperate, you can squint really hard and image you see pleasant things. There is a sketch of Paz with a dog in the first post in the thread Tom's Artwork. That could be the puppy after a year of growth.

I believe the kickstarter stuff won't deliver until July. I didn't think Travaller would take that long. Have you seen some additional info?

Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules by replying here (not sure, I know some forums get cranky about bringing back old threads), but I just found out about this and I am so excited!
...Unless something happens to the dog. Then it'll likely make me cry. Sad things happening to dogs is my biggest emotional weak spot.

Seriously though, it will get bumped again when the side comic is released, so what's the harm. I don't think you need to worry too much about the puppy. It looks like a high chance for puppy antics, but only a slight chance for puppy peril. You may want brace yourself for a parting scene though. We know Paz goes/returns to the Court.

[snark] I guess it sucks to be me / not at MCM. I wonder if this is how BDG Annie feels. [/snark] I hope it will be available through Topatoco shortly after the MCM debut. And I'll ask for everyone who is wondering... Does anyone remember how long the Annie In The Forest side comics were only available as hardcopy purchases? How much time passed before they were loaded under the Extra Comics section?

From today's page comment: "Hey! I'm going to be at the London MCM Comic Con next weekend, on the 23rd and 24th! I'll have a bunch of stuff for sale, in particular it will be the first and only place you will be able to get a copy of TRAVELLER, the next Gunnerkrigg side comic featuring Paz."
...and only place? Has Anthony manifest himself in the real world and taken the place of our web comic author?!
I hope Tom means that the hardcopy will be exclusive to that event while the online version will be available to the rest of the world shortly thereafter.

Based on this tweet: "My new side comic, Traveller, will be available for the first time at MCM from ME, the guy that made it!" I think he means only place... so far. Or so I hope.

I also keep wondering where the extra L came from. British English? I was going to make a joke about British Engllish and guess that the extra L might be Welsh, But then my google-fu kicked in and the extra L seems to be prevalent. And Paz speaks the first three languages on that list.

Seconding hypixion, I can also pay with my soul if necesary. I'll just pay with money I'd pay with your money too. On a serious note, and in case it wasn't obvious, I suggest that discussions about the content of the side comic be conducted in another thread. That way people can choose whether to see spoilers without having to hide discussions under spoiler tags. This thread can live its final days with distribution/release info.

From Tom's Twitter... "A really fun MCM this year! I talked with so many great people. I hope people enjoy Traveller! It'll be available to buy online soon." I assume "buy online" means Topatoco. I don't want to guess what "soon" means.
