ππ₯³This is LB's 500th page!!!π₯³π
Can you believe it? I remember seeing 500 page+ comics on smackjeeves back in the day (2009-2012) and being in AWE of their discipline and dedication, so it feels like an incredibly cool milestone for me to reach myself. That and uploading so consistently despite some pretty crazy medical setbacks this year. Here's to another 500 pages <3
Another fun fact: those are mine and my wife's hands in the final panel. Wouldn't be anywhere without her continued support. Thank you babbyyyy and thank to all of you readers, mwah, mwah, mwah!

I only just realized Ruth and Nelly are matching! I continue to adore Nelly haha. I would love a prequel of the early days and man do I mourn all these women’s spaces that no longer exist irl …
Poor Jaden. But I’m happy for the girl she’s dancing with!
rustyhearts
I do have some earlier yonique flashbacks in mind for some point. Just gotta figure out where best to show them off in the story. Stay tuned~
I imagine purple woman has the envy of several readers π π

I continue to adore how you draw old women, there’s just something so heartwarming in it
rustyhearts
Thank you! I LOVE drawing older women. So much fun π₯°

Aw hey, congratulations for 500 pages! That’s huge!
Also, I really look forward to the next pages. I miss ballroom dancing, it’s such fun. Probably even more so among just women!
rustyhearts
Thank you very much. More dancing to come π«‘π«‘

Stopppp that’s so sweet ;o; congrats to 500 pages!!!! I hope your health is doing better as well! I hope someday I can develop this level of discipline and dedication myself! It honestly is really inspiring!
rustyhearts
Unfortunately health-wise it’s looking like life-long management of symptoms, but I sure af not gonna let it stop me seeing LB through πͺπͺ
It all starts with the first step. I believe in you π₯°π₯°

Congratulations on 500 pages! I’m still not over how cute your artwork of you and your wife that you used for Radical’s IMLA stream was, and then you hit us with more (albeit indirect) artwork of you together so soon afterwards. β€
rustyhearts
Omgggg yessss. I love that drawing of us! I actually have a number of drawings of us together, just haven’t had a reason to post them. My wife is very used to getting homemade art gifts βΊοΈ
She’s also helped as reference/tracing material a number of times throughout the comic. As well as sound boarded so many of my ideas. Her input is deeply woven into LB in so many ways.

Your art has improved so much over 500 pages, congrats! I love the sequence of Jaden poses in the first panel :~)
rustyhearts
Onward and upward π«‘ππ€
And thank you! They were a last minute addition, but I’m so happy I went with the posing sequence shown here. Has been fun letting Jaden be a part of more silly situations. My girl deserves it π
Charly
Aaaah Jaden is so cute with I was the woman dancing with her, congratulations on 500 pages that’s such a milestone!
rustyhearts
Prepare for more cuteness!

For the people complaining that Rusty has done nothing during 500 pages: She didn’t made this webcomic for YOU.
Congrats on the milestone!
rustyhearts
Thank you! Feeling very accomplished and proud of my work so far π₯°
Miss Moira
Did your Boosty get removed? π
rustyhearts
I was the one to remove it, I am going to make a post in the comments about it during next update.
But since you asked:
Boosty hadn’t paid me since September (nearly 400$AUD owing). It was apparently an issue between them and PayPal. I was advised to switch to a bank card method, which I did. With 5 separate cards, all from different banks (friends helped out on that one). None worked and was told it was definitely all the banks with the issue and not boosty. They refused to help further so I asked them to refund all my subscribers and close the account. If anyone was going to see the money, may has well go back to the pockets it came from.
Sucks but they had a policy to stop holding the money if it wasn’t transferred within 90 days. So ://
