Uhhhh... What should I do?

Is it okay to make a slice of life strip featuring a guest artist in a scifi comic? I'm planning to make my own comic soon but haven't decided about the story and genre. Scifi would be nice but I also want to feature some friends in the comic. It's gonna be serious then there's a funny episode out of the blue...

Hmm...this sounds interesting. Maybe you could try offering your opinions about this to the Tapas dev. team?
But yeah, I think it will be fine. Just make sure you cite the guy making the strip, and specify that this is just a promotional thing. You don't want the readers accusing you of dropping the story on them.

i don't think this should be handed to the dev team. i'm just worried that it's gonna be weird to have filler episodes that are completely unrelated to the series. it's normal for slice of life comics but i've never seen it happen in scifi.

Um...maybe just put it out in the chapter title: "Slice of LIfe thing from a friend, completely unrelated to ____ (put title here)". That way, people wouldn't get suspicious.
You could also just label it as something to alleviate the tension, or something like that.
And by the way, what's the name of the comic? I'd like to try and read it.

yeah maybe that would work, thanks. i don't have a comic yet but i'm going to feature some artists when i do. it's better to think things through ahead of time xD

I've seen people who have guest artists come in. In the title, all you'd have to put down would be "Guest artist: (insert name of artist) - side comic" And then in the description, just write in that it's a completely side, slice of life comic =)

It`s ok if you mark them as "bonus comic". For example "Four Leaf" does an extra comic or two at the end of each chapter with funny scenes with the characters.

Just don't do it in the middle of a scene and you should be fine. Put it like, between chapters/ at the end of a chapter. Don't kill the momentum of an interesting scene with a filler!
