Studio Halloween Party Highlights 2026

Another year, another Halloween party here in the Studio. This year’s party felt like it took longer than usual, and I think that might be in part because I tried to fit too much into each panel. Not only does this make the page take longer to get out, but it also makes the figures smaller and maybe even harder to make out, so I’m going to try avoiding that for the Christmas party if I can. I am happy with everything we fit in, though.
There’s a couple characters here we haven’t seen in a while, maybe even some of you didn’t even know some of them were in the Studio. This year I finally got to do something with Carmella Creeper, the undead DJ from the monster cereal line. I always pictured her in charge of the music for these parties, but this year we got to see her. We also got a fun little nod to the Poll Me Closer series, plus I finally got to pair Corey Park with one of the Tom & Jerry witches I introduced last October. We also have a follow-up to the Canute Ask. Of the costume ideas submitted, Link and Zelda just seemed weirdly fitting and also gave me some ideas for how to use them in a scene.
I hope y’all enjoy this year’s party! In spite of it all I’m pretty happy with the final page, and I’m already busy working on Christmas’s!

Canute Character Ask 7

So, at first for this one I thought it’d be really fun to show Canute in a costume here and then have him wearing it somewhere in the party montage. I really was struggling with getting an idea I liked, though, partly because I don’t actually know Canute that well and partly because I had other drama going on at the same time that made it hard to brainstorm. While I was thinking, though, I felt like Canute might enjoy giving some voice to others for this. A big part of his Studio journey has been embracing not being in control as much, and maybe he’d enjoy letting y’all suggest a costume for him. I think that also gives a bit more room for him to wear something he might not have thought up for himself. Obviously this will only be an interactive element for Subscribers, since the Halloween party will be finished long before this Ask goes public, but I’ll choose a fitting idea from the comments of this Ask and try to work Canute wearing it into the party somewhere. Like he hinted here, doubles costumes can work too if the idea’s good. I think this is the first time I’ve done an Ask with an interactive element to it like this, but I hope it goes over well and is fun for y’all. In this case it does kinda mean a boring image of just Canute standing around naked, but I think the eventual pay-off and knowing he’s wearing something one of y’all suggested will make it worth it.

Canute Character Ask 4

There had been another variation of this Ask where Canute was asked about similarities to other bottoms, but I think the answer I had in mind works just as well here as it did for that one. Canute doesn’t have a yandere twin sister (unfortunately), but beyond that I think there’s a lot of parallels one could draw between him and Desna. I think they make a cute pair here, too, and I hope y’all enjoy seeing them pose together.

Canute Character Ask 3

I used Canute for the first Christmas party after his debut because I thought his royal cloak, which is red with a white fur trim, had a Christmas/Santa vibe to it. In that party he was shown sucking off Mark, as referenced in his answer. He didn’t appear in this most recent party, but I figured he could’ve had some fun with Denji. Denji’s grown a new appreciation for pretty guys lately with Haku and Zarbon, and Canute fits well into that.

Ylva Character Ask 2

I had an idea for how to handle this Ask last month, but I really didn’t think Ylva’s first appearance after her First Shoot should be with anyone other than Thorfinn. So I did that Ask as part of last month’s batch, but I really wanted to do this one during this month’s while I was still keen for the idea. I’m no expert on Vinland Saga, but to my knowledge these characters never meet in the series (especially not these versions of them). That’s part of the fun of the Studio, though. Of course I had to have Canute getting pegged again, it seems like the best course for both his and Ylva’s style to me.

Kintaro Oe’s First Dare

There are some men in the Studio who are so in love with women that, even if they awakened as pansexual in the Studio, it’s a little hard to picture them choosing to go after other men for sex. Kintaro has at least kissed a guy once, canonically, but I’ve always tried to pair him with women who don’t feel too far off from the types of women he chased in Golden Boy. This Dare puts him out a little bit, but luckily for him there are some guys in the Studio who are also not too far off from his established type.
