#3: The Special After School Episode (with special guest star @zzsleeps)

WebComic Corner

Content Warning: While Izy and I don't go into too many specifics, the featured webcomic does contain graphic depictions of violence involving 17-18-year-olds.

Greetings and salutations, friends, did you miss me? It's okay if you didn't, but I'm back anyway and I'm actually talking about webcomics in this episode along with Izy (https://twitter.com/zzsleeps), author of his own webcomic REEDS.

Ever wondered what it would be like to be going through just another regular high school day of taking exams, texting your bestie, going to gym class, etc., and then finding out you've been selected to serve your country in a war against alien orbs? Well, in Ha Il-Kwon's Duty After School, we get to find out!
Sound Note: In some parts--but not most, thank goodness!--there's a wrapping/knocking noise coming from my end, I might have been leaning too close to the mic, sorry about that.
