Simple solution:

- Become a fan of the show
- Stan Hootsifer
- Run out of show to watch
- Look for online communities to join
- Read the first 14 Grom Factor comics
- Go through the archives and read all the rest of MoringMark’s comics
- Sorry, what was the question again?
- ???
- Profit
Aw, this panel is so cute.
I love Mark’s comics because everything gets solved almost immediately, no unnecessary drama or conflict. I understand that it doesn’t make great storytelling in the long run, but for short comics like these, it’s perfect. It gives off cozy vibes and makes every panel end on a sweet note. Reading Mark’s comic daily always improves my mood.
On a side note, I like the extra effort that went into Luz and Amity’s personality.
Amity seems immediately receptive of her need to escape from her parents’ shadow and become her own thing. Meanwhile, Luz is immediately taken aback by her comment about magic. It was a nice touch.
