This comic from 2019 marks the introduction of Theodius and his pals. Their designs and personalities weren’t completely refined yet at this point, so this comic is more like a prototype for the characters and the world and as such isn’t really included in the story’s canon. Still, I like it too much to leave it out of the gallery altogether.
This merry, rat-faced and shamelessly flirtatious Theodius still amuses me, though he differs greatly from the Theodius we know today. Poor Giendei was even more of a himbo in this iteration than he is in later stories. Personality-wise Zirekel has changed the least – her and Theodius’s constant harping is one of those things that just felt right, right from the beginning.
