Aaaand there you have it! We’re officially launching Partly Cloudy. First special episode in the SlumberTown spin-off series. These stories are written as such that you won’t need to read Partly Cloudy — for example — to follow along with the main comic. It will however give you clearer insights into some of the characters, their relationships, and the world and lore surrounding Slumber. So definitely worth reading if you’re just a fan of the series as a whole — I obviously recommend it highly. : P

This first special episode between Books 1 and 2 of the comic is a Boone-centric story that’ll center on one of our major deuteragonists. Partly Cloudy occurs right after Book 1 in the continuity, so prepare for a lot of sweet and tender moments between Romy and Boone (and sometimes Echo too!).

Here’s the excerpt for Partly Cloudy:

“Romy’s new friend, Boone, has a bit of a problem.

He’s forgetful. Forgetful, absentminded and easily confused. Though memory loss isn’t unusual for residents of Slumber, Boone’s brain fog is so extreme that he often finds himself unintentionally stirring up trouble.

When Boone’s cloudy head inadvertently creates a polar vortex on the hottest day in town, it’s up to him and his friends to weather the chaos (and Boone’s insecurities) to return the sun back to Slumber.

… even if it means taking it back from a giant weather-eating plant.”
