    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!

    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!

    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. โค

    1. 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 โ˜บ๏ธ
       
      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 :~)

      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 ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    For the people complaining that Rusty has done nothing during 500 pages: She didn’t made this webcomic for YOU.
    Congrats on the milestone!

    Did your Boosty get removed? ๐Ÿ™

    1. 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 ://

๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸฅณThis is LB's 500th page!!!๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰

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!
