Gator Days Informational Post
Panel 1 Gustopher is breaking the fourth wall to tell you about all the different ways you can find the Gator Days. Gustopher: Hey! I'm Gustopher from the comic Gator Days! I have information for you! August: Oh no, he's addressing the audience again. Panel 2 Gustopher: Here are the places you can find us under the name FieldExplores. Gustopher presents a list of locations you can read Gator Days. The list includes Reddit, Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, and Tumblr. Twitter/X is at the bottom of the list but has been crossed out. Mewbert: Mew? (possibly meaning "What a fantastic list, but what if I wish to support the creator of this comic through financial contributions? In addition, once we are done I would like someone to pet me and bring me snacks) Panel 3 Gustopher: GREAT QUESTION! You can also find us at Patreon and Ko-Fi if you'd like to help support the comic. Patreon has early access comics! Panel 4 Gustopher: Links in the comment section. August: What comment section? Is the audience in the room with us? After the events of this comic, August questioned Gustopher about everything he just said. Gustopher couldn't remember saying any of it and went back to playing video games. August decides not to push the issue of breaking the fourth wall any further.

Bolero's New Sweater - Gator Days
Bolero's New Sweater - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Bolero has received a new sweater for Christmas! It seems to be a few sizes too big. He can't even fit his arms through the sleeves. His mom isn't too worried. Tammy: Looks like your new sweater is too big. Panel 2 Bolero lifts an arm and watches the rest of the sleeve be pulled down by gravity. Tammy: You'll just have to grow into it. Panel 3 Bolero begins to lift the back of the neckline of the sweater upward. Tammy: You can take it off. Panel 4 Bolero has the sweater covering the back of his head and he's lifting the arms so the sleeves flop around in the air. He feels like a medieval peasant working tirelessly in the fields. Perhaps one plotting treason against the king. Bolero: I love this. Tammy: Really? Bolero: Can I wear it to school?

The Purple Door - A Gator Days Christmas Special Part Two
Pages 7-10/12
Page 7 We're standing in front of a purple door. The address seems to be 1402. This isn't a place I recognize but Gustopher seems to be more familiar with it. I notice him staring at the door solemnly. His face isn't showing much emotion but I can sense a sadness underneath it. After a brief period of silence he says, "I think this is where my mom lives." Page 8 Gustopher's sadness seems to melt away for a moment and he excitedly says to me, "Maybe Mom is waiting for me!" He lifts his hands into the air and continues, "I'll open the door and say "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" The world feels brighter and warmer for a moment. "We'll spend Christmas together and I'll tell her all about my friends and-" Gustopher's voice suddenly softens, "Maybe she won't leave." Page 9 Gustopher stares at the purple down. It seems so big and imposing in this moment. "I think about her a lot around Christmas," he continues, "I'll wonder what she's doing." "On TV, families get reunited on Christmas. But that doesn't happen to me." Gustopher sits down on the ground next to me. I can tell that there's a lot going through his head right now. Page 10 Gustopher tells me exactly how he's feeling "If she wanted to spend Christmas with me then she wouldn't have left. It bothers me more and more every year." "It hurts." I need to say something so I say it. "It's okay to feel hurt. During a time of year that's filled with so much laughter and joy, the pain in our life can hurt even more. It's okay to feel upset. I'll be there for you to help you through it." It might have just came out as a Mew but I think he understood me. I curl up in Gustopher's arms to let him know he's not alone. He found me when I was all by my myself. This is the least I can do.

The Purple Door - A Gator Days Christmas Special Part One
Pages 1-4/12
Part Two coming December 24th
Page 1 My name is Mewbert. I am cat. I live in a house with another cat named Nougat and two giants. The bigger giant, August, is in the food room and preparing to to make something special. This is one of my favorite times because he'll give me food if I stare at him long enough. He's wrapped himself in cloth that says "LET US SLEIGH". He claims it's a joke that works on multiple levels. I don't care, I just want food. "I haven't made this in a long time," he says, "Could you get me the recipe book from my desk?" "Got it!" says the smaller giant. His name is Gustopher. I follow Gustopher to fetch this book. It's possible that more food might be involved and I don't wish to miss that. The giants have filled our home with strange things. Like a tree covered in colorful lights. Silly giants. Don't they know that trees belong outside? Gustopher has found the book but something has fallen out of it. His face is blank as he stares at it but I can tell he's feeling sad. Page 2 The treats have been made and the giants have prepared for sleep. I've heard murmuring of tomorrow being an important day. Gustopher has a smile on his face but I can tell that there's something upsetting him. I've decided that I should watch over him tonight. I am a good cat. Gustopher closes his eyes but something begins to feel off. The window glows a faint purple color. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to do that. Then again, the giants have also been putting bright and colorful objects everywhere so I don't know what's normal anymore. I've tried to help them by knocking things off the table but they keep putting them back. They're weird. Gustopher has noticed the window's glow. He leans forward and watches it carefully. I watch from bedroom entrance. He surely can't get into too much trouble, right? Page 3 Gustopher looks through his window. I watch him look through it. The giants are such interesting creatures. They're easily entertained by windows and glowing rectangles. I could watch them for hours. Something is suddenly off. Is Gustopher starting to rise up into the air. I don't think he's supposed to do that. This doesn't seem normal. Have the giants always been able to float off randomly? I'll have to tell Nougat about this later. Okay, now this really isn't good. He's starting to float out the window. The invisible force field isn't working. I have to do something! Maybe if I grab onto him, I can weight him down. I leap into action! I can't let him float away! He's really good at petting! Oh no. I seem to have gone through the window too. This is not good. This is not right. I don't know what to do. I hold tight to Gustopher's leg. Page 4 Are we alive? I think we're still alive. I'm afraid to open my eyes. I'm holding tight to Gustopher so I don't fall. Okay, deep breath in and deep breath out. This is fine. I'm fine. Whatever is happening is fine. I open my eyes and I see the night sky. Beautiful stars surrounding me. That's nice. Until I realize that they're surrounding me. Oh, we're high up in the night sky. This is not fine. I hold tight to Gustopher. I don't think this is normal.

The End of the World - Gator Days
The End of the World - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August and Gustopher are walking home from the grocery store when they see a street evangelist spreading the good news about the end of the world with a megaphone. He is lifting the holy text "THE FINE BOOK" in the air. Whether or not this book is actually fine is hotly debated. Street Evangelist: REPENT SINNERS! THE WORLD'S END IS NEAR! Gustopher: It is? Panel 2 August has lived through multiple declarations of the end of the world and is fairly confident that the world is not ending. Or if the world is ending, it's happening slowly and painfully. August: No, the world isn't ending. Gustopher: But what if it is? I have to live life to the fullest. Panel 3 Gustopher is filled with determination. If the world ends, he's going to be absolutely sure that he has no regrets. Gustopher: When we get home, I'm going to pet cats and play video games. Panel 4 August: You do that every night. Gustopher: I live each day like it's my last. August and Gustopher went home, pet the cats, and played video games.

Cranky - Gator Days
Cranky - Gator Days Panel 1 Ember has woken up on the wrong side of the bed and she is CRANKY! Thankfully, she's polite enough to inform the world that she is cranky so that everyone has the opportunity to escape her wrath. Ember: I'M CRANKY! DON'T TALK TO ME! Panel 2 Ember has decided to lock herself away in her room. She is letting everyone know that she is not to be disturbed. She might be angry with the world but she has standards. Ember: I WANT TO BE ALONE! EVERYONE GO AWAY. Panel 3 Ember closes her bedroom door. There is a sign designating it as "EMBER'S LAIR". The writing on the sign was decided by Ember who wanted all potential intruders to have an a feel of dread they approach her domain. Panel 4 Ember peeks her head out out of her bedroom door with a new declaration. Ember: BEING ALONE IS BORING! SOMEONE LET ME YELL AT THEM! Again, Ember might be super grumpy but she has standards.

Text Anxiety - Gator Days
Text Anxiety - Gator Days Panel 1 Polly is taking a walk. This is one of her favorite streets with a street sign that says "SIGN". It's a great place to go if you're wishing for a higher power to send you a sign. Unfortunately, Polly has a head full of anxious thoughts. She has been waiting for Gwen to text her back but it has taken longer than usual. Polly (thinking): Gwen still hasn't texted back. Is she angry? Panel 2 Polly's thoughts starts to spiral. She's starting to think she might not be a very good friend. Polly (thinking): Maybe I'm bothering her. Am I bad friend? Should I leave her alone? Panel 3 Polly checks her phone and makes a startling discovery that instantly eliminates all anxiety. Polly (thinking): Oh. I forgot to press send on my last text. Panel 4 Now we see Gwen doing some grocery shopping. She's near the produce where we can see a lot of colorful and ideally edible plants for sale. There are "Perfect" CHIVES for sale as well as orange sticks, round brown things, big and green things, and red stuff labelled "RED!!!!!!!!!!". There's also shelf standard store favorites like "Box of Food", "Can of Drink", "FOMO", and "Sold out". It's the usual grocery store stuff. Gwen is also currently feeling relieved. Gwen (thinking): Polly texted! I thought she was mad at me.

Trash Talk - Gator Days
Transcript Panel 1 Hannah and Gustopher are playing some sort of board game. Hannah seems confident that victory belongs to her. Gustopher has not given up hope. Hannah: It's over Gustopher! I have the high ground. Gustopher: Not if I roll a two or a six. Panel 2 Hannah is not concerned. She continues to taunt Gustopher. Hannah: You're a fool if you think you can win. Gustopher: I know you are but what am I? Gustopher is not very good at banter. Panel 3 Olivia and Liam are also at the table. Olivia watches Hannah and Gustopher yell back and forth while Liam is occupied with a book. His book is called "Book: The Movie: The Novel". It's the novelization of the movie based on the hit book called book. It's garbage. In front of them is a board with various spaces that each have a word starting with the letter "F" on them. Spaces include Fear, Fork, Feast, Fight, Flip, and Flee. The pieces are all supposed to be things that start with "F" but the game developers really stretched it for some. They include a metal cat that's supposed to be a feline and a little metal cup that's supposed to be a full cup. Hannah: My strategy is unparalleled! Roll your last pathetic die! Gustopher: You're pathetic! Gustopher is still not very good at banter. Panel 4 Olivia is beginning to wonder if she's been forgotten. Liam is unbothered. Olivia: Did they forget we're also playing? Liam: I like it better this way.

No Children (Part 4) - Gator Days
No Children (Part 4) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August is at the office on an off day for a work emergency. He's had to leave his son with a co-worker, Iris, while he takes care of things and has just wrapped it up. He's picking up Gustopher now. August: I'm done. Thanks for watching- Gustopher: DAD! Panel 2 Gustopher is filled with an unreasonable amount of energy. In his hand is an energy drink that says "INFINITE ENERGY - Insomnia Flavored". Mistakes were made. He speaks rapidly, loudly, and with no respect from proper sentence structure. Gustopher: IRIS LET ME HAVE ANYTHING I WANTED FROM THE VENDING MACHINE AND I GOT AN ENERGY DRINK AND IT'S SO GOOD CAN WE GET SOME FOR HOME AND WE WATCHED CAT VIDEOS AND IRIS YELLED AT SOMEONE. Panel 3 August stares at his son with a mixture of exhaustion, surprise, and just the slightest amount of amusement that he knows will not last. Iris hopes this will dissuade August from putting her in this situation again unless it is absolutely necessary. Gustopher: I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD YELL THIS LOUD! Panel 4 Iris: He's a good kid. Good luck. Gustopher: I'M SHAKING! Gustopher is vibrating. His face is not exploding. All things considered, August thinks that this day could have had far worse outcomes.

No Children (Part 3) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August was called into work to take of an emergency and Iris is doing him a favor by letting his son wait in her office. Gustopher just learned that Iris doesn't have any kids and is curious about that. Iris has a cup of coffee in a mug that says "BOAR FACE". Gustopher got a can of something from the vending machine but it's slightly out of view. Foreshadowing is a literary device. Gustopher: I thought married people always had kids. Iris: Some don't want to kids. Panel 2 Iris looks away for a moment. She feels a momentary heaviness and continues. Iris: And some want kids but life doesn't work out that way. It's like... You're probably too young to understand. It's a complicated topic and Iris has a lot of complicated feelings about it. Panel 3 Gustopher just says the first thing that comes to his head. Gustopher: Like loving and missing someone you never get to meet. Iris: Kind of like that. Panel 4 Gustopher begins to dwell on the topic. Gustopher: That's not fair. Iris: Yeah... Let's watch cat videos. Cats help.

No Children (Part 2) - Gator Days
No Children (Part 2) - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August was called into work for an emergency and he's asked his co-worker, Iris, to watch his son while he deals with the crisis. She begrudgingly agrees, but is not enthusiastic about having to watch a child. Gustopher has found a random photo and is asking about it. Gustopher: Who is this? Iris: My husband. Gustopher: Any pictures of your kids? Iris: We don't have any. Panel 2 Gustopher finds this odd. He thought everyone had kids when they got married. Gustopher: Why? Iris: Because I eat kids who ask too many questions. Panel 3 Gustopher knows that adults are joking when they say stuff like but can't help but feel that Iris sounded too serious when she said it. He look back to see her sipping menacingly from a mug that says "BOAR FACE". Panel 4 Gustopher: I can't tell if you're joking. Iris: Me too.

Unruly Card Games - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Hannah and Gustopher are playing card games on a rainy day. Hannah notices that Gustopher seems to have made a play that he's not supposed to. Hannah is quick to correct this. Hannah: You can't do that. Gustopher: Why? Hannah: It's against the rules. Gustopher: It is? Panel 2 Hannah rolls her eyes and pulls out her phone. Looks like they're going to have to look up the rules and make sure they're both playing the same way. Hannah: Ugh! Let's both read through the rules so we're on the same page. Gustopher: Okay. Panel 3 Hannah is staring at her phone and is not really sure what she's reading. What is a Redoubled Contract? Isn't a Grand Slam something you get at restaurants? Why does it say they need four players? Panel 4 Hannah is starting to put the pieces together. Hannah: I don't think either of us are playing right. Gustopher: I don't know what half these words mean. Seriously! What's a "Dummy Hand" and an "Unfinished Rubber".

Think of the Children - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August is on the phone with his mother. She sent him a rather distressing video that she found on the internet. May: Augie! Did you see the video I sent? August: The one with the bird flying off with a baby? Panel 2 May is distraught! Why isn't anyone doing anything to save all these babies? Has the government even addressed the issue? May: It's terrible! I hope the baby is okay. August: Mom, you know it's AI, right? Panel 3 We now see May in the kitchen sipping from her ugliest coffee mug that is conveniently labelled "UGLY MUG". Her husband and August's father, Fergus, is looking at what's in the freezer. Looks like it's just an ice cream container that's been filled with soup. May: That can't be. What would someone gain from faking that? Panel 4 May is beginning to question August's questioning of questionable things. Where in the world could he have obtained this questioning habit. May: Why do you question everything? August: That's how you raised me! It's okay, May will soon forget about the abundance of AI generated videos of bird flying off with innocent babies after she stumbles onto the AI generated videos of elderly women being thrown out of windows.

Mature Drinks for Mature People - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August and Gustopher are at a small coffee shop to get some drinks. The employee at the cash register looks like they haven't slept in a couple days. They probably haven't. I hope they're okay. August: One medium mocha and a small hot cocoa with extra whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles. Gustopher: WAIT! Panel 2 Gustopher has grown much more mature and sophisticated in this past year. He is becoming a man of fine taste and wishes for only the most sophisticated of drinks to sip on this cold autumn day. Gustopher: My tastes are maturing. I want my drink to reflect that. Panel 3 Gustopher slaps on his most adult and sophisticated looking face. He's prepared for this moment. He's ready. He's going to order his drink. Gustopher: I WANT- Panel 4 Gustopher: A hot cocoa with extra whipped cream and CHOCOLATE sprinkles. The employee has become distracted by their phone. WOW! There's a video of an absolutely very real bird flying off with an absolutely very real baby. This is clearly a video that was recorded by an actual living individual and not made by a computer. Why isn't someone doing something about all these birds flying off with babies? That's like the fiftieth video I've seen on the topic this week.

How to Food - Gator Days
How to Food - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August has a variety of ingredients on the kitchen counter. Including "Meaty Sodium Strips", cheese, eggs, an onion, a tomato, and what one might assume is olive oil but the bottle says "All of Oil" so honestly, I don't know what it is. Gustopher is unsure what this is all about. August is wearing his "COOKING PAPA" apron. Gustopher: Are you making omelettes? August: I'm teaching you how to make them. Panel 2 Gustopher is surprised. His Dad has always taken care of the majority of cooking. The Meaty Sodium Strips are just chilling on the counter. Gustopher: Really? You always make breakfast. August: I won't always be around to make it. Panel 3 Suddenly, Gustopher is hit with an overwhelming sense of dread. He's not really registering what his dad is saying. The Meaty Sodium Strips sit menacingly on the counter. August: And learning to cook is important. First we should- Panel 4 Gustopher flings his arms in the air and yells out- Gustopher: I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE! It occurs to August that he probably could have phrased his comment about not being around to make breakfast a little better. The Meaty Sodium Strips want you to know that one strip contains five hundred times your recommended daily allotment of sodium.

Relax - Gator Days
Relax - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Polly is attempting to relax at a coffee shop. Unfortunately, her mom asked her to bring her little sister along. Polly just wants to sit and enjoy her coffee but Olivia will be having none of that. Olivia: Why do you like coffee shops? Polly: The relaxing ambiance. I honestly don't know whether I should spell it ambience or ambiance so I'm spelling it one way in the comic and another way in the transcript. Panel 2 Olivia is not finding this relaxing at all. It's just boring. Olivia: What's relaxing? The bad music? The old people? Polly: It's the vibe. There is an older woman standing nearby and Olivia has said what she said in a loud enough voice to possibly offend. Fortunately for her, this old person has ruined her hearing. Please remember to bring ear protection to loud concerts, places with loud machinery, and coffee shops that play bad music. Panel 3 Suddenly, Olivia starts vibrating. She somehow managed to get the staff to serve her coffee. Olivia: I'm not relaxed! I'm shaking! Polly: I told you to get decaf! Panel 4 Perhaps this isn't as boring as Olivia originally thought. Olivia: And you don't look relaxed. Polly: BECAUSE OF YOU! Olivia is not going to sleep tonight.

Tanner: Are you making dinner? Gwen: Yeah. Tanner: You must like to cook. Panel 2 Gwen keeps on chopping but responds honestly to her brother. The microwave in the back says "ERROR". It still works but no one knows how to make it stop saying "ERROR". Gwen: If Mom or Dad won't do it then someone has to. Panel 3 Tanner: Oh... I'm glad you do. Thank you. Gwen stops chopping for a moment. Tanner's words mean a lot to her. Panel 4 Gwen: Thanks, Tanner. Tanner: But I didn't do anything. Gwen: You're kind. That's something. Life is difficult. Life is unfair. But Gwen feels the appreciation from her brother and that makes it a little better.
