Common slurrie is made by pressing the stalk of the Beige-capped Ixical—referred to simply as a ‘slurrie pod’ by most—and combining the resultant foamy sludge with hot water. The unmistakable earthen taste of raw slurrie is beloved by few but the most hardcore of purists, and thus the addition of sugar and other seasonings are mainstays of the beverage.Time flies when you’re having Sand.
Rising Sand is nine (9) years old today, and while it’s perhaps possible we could have made the journey without you, we’re grateful that we never had to find out. Whether you’ve been with us since RS001, or only discovered us last week, thank you so much for reading! Here’s to nine more years of Sand—which is almost certain to happen, given the glacial clip at which we tend to update.
Anyway, if you’d like to kiss the ring, feel free to say hi on Bluesky or Discord—or better yet, if you’re so equipped, you could give us the greatest gift of all: additional insurance against starvation via our Patreon! Thank you all again, and enjoy the free comics!
