The story of The Speed of Life works as an indirect continuation to the pervious year's Life on Pole, following the story of the fictional protagonist Adrian Pascari as the year moved to 1973. Before making this comic I was going through some emotional hardship, hence the strong focus on friendship in the story.
The comic was originally intended for web display with a few animated elements. In the fall 2023 revision I edited the comic to be better suited for printing and hence removed the animation.
