D9 #TimeTravelAuthors Strange Research
D. P. had to research what stores were at a local mall circa 1986. Turns out it was an open-air mall back then. Totally changed the scene.

D5 #TimeTravelAuthors Meal Snippet

Sitting at this table, eating this meal, surrounded by this family was all so achingly familiar, yet impossibly different.

I am so pleased a lot of folks are noticing the little sign on the door in the latest #KeepingTime updates!!! it has been hiding there since chapter 2!!! I dedicated a whole update post about it back then, HEHEHE

A panel from the webcomic, Keeping Time. Denver, a blond guitarist, argues with Stef, a Black bassist in a denim battle vest. (It is not much of an argument because Stef is correct, as always) Denver: "Me? I sound like shit?" Stef: "Yeah. Your head’s obviously not in it right now." Another, more recent Keeping time panel from the same vantage point. Denver and Stef are once again arguing, and once again Stef is correct. Denver: "Hey, c'mon. Hütz is the best, and you know it. You rather we practice at that overpriced country club in the suburbs?" Stef: "Portage Park isn't the suburbs, dude."

Of course Ena made the anti-sales pitch sound cool.
This list might be our favorite post yet.

So, you finally convinced the beautiful but distant pianist to swing by your band's practice, but your bandmates immediately make a bad impression on him. That's ok!! You can salvage this!! Just wink and smile!

D19 #TimeTravelAuthors Proudest Moment

Easily my proudest moment in Keeping Time: recognizing that look , that death stare, one I’d seen in another time altogether. Knowing what I had to do. And doing it. No matter who saw, or who knew.

A year ago exactly, I finally discovered #KeepingTime (everyone else was already reading it, wth was I doing...? 🤨) and started bugging the super lovely @kodyisover.com on the regular 😆 I've drawn a few pieces I'm still very happy with, hope I get to draw more in the future!
Panel redraw showing Denver wearing a leather jacket over a Led Zeppelin T-shirt and pointing at himself, on a purple background. Panel redraw showing Elena leaning against the bar counter, with one hand supporting her head, on a dark purple background. Sketch in greyscale of Alex, Daniel and Denver as teenagers crammed together in a photo booth. They're all grinning, with their eyes closed. Another sketch in greyscale of Alex, Daniel and Denver as teenagers crammed together in a photo booth. They're doing the "no evil" poses; Alex is covering her eyes, Daniel is covering his mouth and Denver is covering his ears.

A small gift for @kodyisover.com, just because! A redraw of an adorable panel from page 64 of #KeepingTime 🥰

I've been having a lot of fun with anime screencap redraws, but I think webcomic panel redraws might be even more fun?

(More to come in the future...? 🤔😉)

Elena Hernandez is:

- a trans woman of indeterminate age
- the underpaid head bartender of a piano bar
- really good at keeping secrets (except when she's better at sharing them)

A panel from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. Denver, a blond punk with a neck tattoo, begins to say, "Sorry. That’s kind of a lot to ask--" He's cut off by Elena, a Latina trans woman with a shaggy pixie cut, who is leaning against a bar counter. She leans forward, hands braced against the edge of the countertop, her face serious. She interrupts, "Listen. I can’t tell you everything without breaking bartender-customer confidentiality or whatever… but Daniel might want to talk to you more than you think."

Denver and Daniel might not be able to talk about what drove them apart 7 years ago, but they MAY be about to be bandmates again.

#KeepingTime is a bittersweet bummer of a band romance that just wrapped its 3rd chapter! That's 106 pages for you to dive into!! ✨

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com
Page 105 of the webcomic Keeping Time. It tracks an interaction between Denver, a blond punk with a neck tattoo, and Daniel, a Japanese guy in a winter parka. Denver is confessing how much he loves Daniel's performing by saying, "Seeing you up there, all I can think is... that's where you belong." Page 106. Denver continues with a determined ask: "I know it's not much... but I can at least you give another stage to be on. With the band. With me." Daniel looks like a shojo protagonist as Denver finishes with the proposal, "Daniel Akutagawa. Will you sing for me again?"

A comic page. Panel 1: through an open door where we can only see their shadows on the floor, Speaker A asks, "Can I come in"? In panel 2, over a shot of both speaker's shoes, speaker B begins to answer, "Yes," but is cut off with a kiss in panel 3. In panel 4, Speaker A, revealed to be a blonde man lying above Speaker B on a couch in a dark living room, he begins to ask again, "Can I--" but is interrupted by Speaker B, revealed to be a young Asian man, answering, "Yes."

Three comic panels from Keeping Time. Panel 1: Stef, the metalhead bassist of the band, is stressing out, gesturing while panicking. His fashion style mixes metal battle jackets with a flatbill baseball cap that is meant to look like a generic White Sox logo. He says, "I mean, the show's getting closer and we haven't even found a replacement singer yet!" Panel 2: Denver, the lead guitarist, rubs his neck sheepishly and says, "Yeah, see, about that...." Panel 3: "I think I found our singer."
