Changed the title and promoted to sticky. Discuss Sticky Dilly Buns Vol. 1 here! The DAMNed
I've just received the PDF of the first print volume, which has a few extras...
The chapter splash pages are chibis, and, okay, kind of cute. Yes, I'm a sucker for Chibi-Ruby-Sherlock.
The bonus strip is a rather slight five-page story; I guess I'd been hoping for more. It's predictable once you know the premise, and maybe doesn't have a strong enough reaction from Ruby; early-Ruby panicked when she was this embarrassed, and recent-Ruby has been beginning to show signs of a determination not to let herself be beaten. I guess my hope now would be for a sequel with volume 2, showing how Ruby handles the same basic situation once she has some more life experience under her belt -- or, if she has to continue being embarrassed, what else Dillon can spring on her.
The book also includes the year's filler sketches, which unfortunately don't all seem to have scanned so well; the "Archie Milkshake" image looks especially weird, and the "Dillon's Massage" pic isn't much better. Oh well, they're throwaways.

I don't generally hang around Facebook or Twitter, but I was doing a search for something recently and I ran across this rough sketch for the upcoming PDF -- and now I really want that PDF. It does rather confirm my feeling that Ruby is going through her teenage years, five years late, but heaven's she's cute when her guard is down.
