And back she goes inside to deal with the fallout of their wild afternoon. That's it! 7 months and 32 pages later, The Visit is finished. I hope everyone liked it!

I love the back-and-forth dialogue here. I've been waiting to get to this page for a while, as it was a favorite of mine back when I wrote the script.

The amount of time it took me to decide on the sound effect for that cheek kiss was ridiculous.

We're nearing the end! Think of this like the epilogue.

Originally I wrote this as Maisie finding some décor to hit the bad guy with. But heavy boots can work just as well!

After being slammed into a wall a bunch of times, I imagine Maisie will be more than a little sore. But she'll definitely be better off than the bad guy.

Fun fact: Maisie's line "No one said he needed to be dead" is a direct transcription of the thought I had when trying to figure out the final act of this story. Originally I figured that the bad guy had to die to end everything, but that seemed overly dark and an excessive act on the part of the protagonists. So I was trying to find places in the story to justify it. But then I realized "no one said he needed to be dead" and decided to have them grant him mercy.

Jumping on an enemy's back may be easy, but hanging on after that is where it gets tough...

I really like how the bad guy looks in these pages. He's in his element when he's up close and personal, threatening people.

Fun fact, the original version of the script didn't have any of the bad guy's little quips about Teddy and Maisie talking. But as I worked through the first pages of them hiding, I realized that they talked a lot, and so I gave the bad guy a few lines to reference the fact that they talked a lot, and he could hear them.

Yes, Teddy helps to keep fake Rolexes and fake Gucci products in circulation.

Luckily that bookcase against the door is full of heavy books.

Yet another page that includes something that often bothers me in movies- when some random person runs up to a character in an action scene, how do they know they're helping the hero and not the villain?

That's very kind of Teddy, trying to reduce collateral damage. This is the suburbs after all. No need to accidentally get the neighbors involved.

Teddy's comment about the stairs comes directly from my experience with many sets of shallow stairs when I was house hunting. There needs to be some sort of standardized step depth, because way too many stair steps are crazy shallow!

I think I've mentioned this before, but in my comics, I like to cover moments/elements that tend to bother me in mainstream movies/shows. One of those is the girl/guy next door picks up a weapon and suddenly is more competent than all the bad guy's henchmen, despite having no experience with the weapon before. What happened here is, I think, a lot more realistic.

I had a lot of fun doing the gunshot VFX in Photoshop! I don't think enough movies/shows take into account the dangers of ricochet.

They're lucky the bad guy isn't in any sort of a rush. But he's fine with them having their chat. He can wait to make his move...

Teddy has a good point- is there ever a good time to randomly bring up that you have a very strange side hustle? Probably not.

I actually haven't tried to build an audience on social media in years. But from what I've heard, it's gotten a lot worse, and it was hard enough back then.

I actually agree with Teddy. I think even if it's something very weird like this, anything you do on the side can be considered a side hustle. Remember that you can read two pages ahead on Patreon! When I've posted page 14 on Patreon then I'll upload page 12 here, and so on.

Fun fact- When I wrote the script for this comic, I didn't know what set(s) I was going to use for the house, so I very rarely described the rooms anything took place in. Luckily I was able to use one of my whole house sets, so the whole story (interior and exterior) takes place in rooms that really are in the same house. That's not to say that all the rooms in the house actually link together in the way they're depicted here, but they are all part of the same 3D model.

He missed, but it's okay, he likes the chase...
