A brilliant Corporate psychologist specializing in artificial intelligence.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Dr. Clarice Maven. Will she be Deacon’s friend? What do you think? There are certain 2 or 3 panel exchanges between the characters, framed in close-up, that I love in this comic. The last two panels of this page are one of them. Winona totally nailed the expressions… Continue reading Artifice Page 7
Love that expression in Panel 4. (And Winona’s painting of the corporate campus through the window…) We’re getting to know Maven a little better. What do you all think about her now?

I like Maven’s reaction in the first panel—both Winona’s art and what she says. It’s a small moment, but it comes to mind a lot when I think about the first part of this comic. Maven is not one to be flattered into complacency. Special thanks to Anna P., Alicia S. and Sasha K. for… Continue reading Artifice Page 9
Another page where I’m loving Winona’s skill with facial expressions. Totally nailed what I was asking for in the script. 🙂 In other news, I was very flattered that someone took the time to add me to one of my favorite geek sites, TV Tropes. They even connected Deacon’s quote up to my original inspiration… Continue reading Artifice Page 10

An evil hacker from Kaliningrad tried to turn my little webcomic into a zombie spam site, so I had to take everything down for a few days while I made sure everything was nice and clean and safe. Learned a lot about security and got some great assistance from Brian… Continue reading Artifice Page 11
Hmmm… I wonder what other things Deacon had to worry about? Thank you for all the comments, everyone! Winona and I really appreciate hearing your thoughts. (I’m like obsessively checking this site throughout the day to see if anyone’s added anything… You are my addiction. And I love you.) Oh, I’ve posted some new icons… Continue reading Artifice Page 15
Hmm… what were you feeling, Deacon? After a couple quiet pages, we now get a little dialogue and some more plot development! Anyone amending their theories? Special thanks to Judith W., Danielle D. and Heather M. for their generous donations this week! (And will you look at that! We’re less than $25 away from a… Continue reading Artifice Page 18

Let’s please give a hearty thank you in the comments to Anna P., Sasha K., Shaniqua C., Howard S., Melody P., Kristina K., Betsy O.,… Continue reading Artifice Page 19
Dr. Maven asks a simple question… and we’re back on Da Vinci Four! What do you think is going to happen next? 🙂 It was very exciting to put out two pages in one week. Special thanks to Alicia S., Judith W. and Esperanza V. for their generous donations since the bonus page went up!… Continue reading Artifice Page 20
