Sorry, ladies. Mary is straight.

Alright folks, the hiatus is almost over! Next week marks the beginning of BICYCLE BOY, Chapter 10: Object of the Beholder. Jesus christ I can't believe it's finally time to draw this shit. I hope you enjoyed the cast Q&A! I'll see you next week. Until then, here's more answers below.

spacerocketbunny asks: When times are a little chiller, what's everyone's hobby? ( to Machk, Poet, Darla, Skip, Stonehenge, Solle, Morris, Alsoomse, Wicky and anyone else who has a notable passtime. Mary and the Senator?? Do they have hobbies??? And Gabriel too, why not lol)

Machk liked camping, fishing, singing to himself, and spending too much money fixing cars with Bolivar & Tonio. It's a whole thing.

Poet fancies a good sunbathe. Like a lizard. If this story or the cyborgification doesn't get him, skin cancer will. 

Darla's secretly really into music, like her rockstar sister. All things music. Singing, guitar, songwriting, audio engineering, making music videos, the social media game, you name it. She made t-shirts for a friend's garage band one time. She never really pursued it, though, out of blind jealousy for her sibling's success, and good ol' procrastination. Blamed it on her, the weather, the booze, her sore pinky, her boyfriend, the way the corner store cashier looked at her that morning, her job, "just not being good at it". Mind, she was always down to party, and would drop it all to help someone out.  One time when they were teens, Darla caught Delilah playing their dearly departed grandpappy's guitar and damn near ripped her hair out. (Darla later sold the guitar for heroin.)

Skip liked to draw, get into arguments on the internet, and break into abandoned buildings. Unfortunately, after the apocalypse, dwellings became graves. Had a few too many sad discoveries. Skip doesn't like to do it anymore.

Stonehenge has a hard time enjoying a hobby without trying to make it into an entrepreneurial thing. Whooole lot of small businesses under this woman's belt. She's tabled at hundreds of craft markets, selling her wares.

Alsoomse likes to watch horror movies, go to the gym, and read classic poetry. In highschool, she was on the football, basketball, and volleyball teams, and kept playing them casually as an adult before she got into bodybuilding.

Solle used to really love swimming, hiking, and learning languages. She never got fluent enough to speak them well, but that was fine by her, as it allowed her to read, you guessed it, even more books.

Wicky is a tattoo artist, so he likes to draw. He always brings markers on a journey to draw on the ruins. But, truthfully, there's nothing he likes more than spending time with the people he loves. Doesn't have to be much of anything, just sitting together, talkin' about the weather, going for a drive, watching TV (romance dramas are a favourite). He's a chill guy.

Morris liked classic cars, but never got his shit together to afford one. He settled for watching tv shows and perusing car shows.

Mary is predisposed with a lot of organizing, administrative work, and training, but she used to spend most of her free time taking care of her horses. Nowadays, she has people for that. What precious little time she gets to herself now is spent fine-tuning her well-oiled machine of a body, obsessing over her skincare routine, maintaining her firearms, or playing with boys.

The Senator's hobbies are a mystery, though one could imagine its something to do with either rotating a concept in her mind for months until she's devised a novella worth of theories on it, or obsessively organizing and re-organizing any building she walks into...

Gabriel likes to read War Theorem by #000003. That's, uh. That's the only book he reads. (Dude loves a good nap, but he is sort of petrified at the thought of someone catching him slacking off.) Before all this he was a fan of barhopping, dirtbiking, and trashy reality television.
