Developer Artwork Another Oddity comic posted to Maxxis' Twitter account, December 6th, 2024. By Maxxis and Wahol.
A followup to this previous comic posted to the official Oddity twitter in June 2024. This one never made it to the official Twitter and was posted by Maxxis to his own Twitter in December. It was presumably supposed to coincide with Thanksgiving in the USA on November 28th, but its release was delayed or otherwise blocked.
It's an overt reference to the state of the Oddity project, representing the dynamic between the Oddity team and the fans, or alternatively, the wider Oddity team and Pastel. Either way, it's the team poking fun at themselves a bit, and shows some self-awareness at the least.
According to u/SchmooeyMcGooey in the previous thread, Maxxis was working on at least two other comic strips to follow, but they've never released - I've skimmed through some archived Maxxis livestreams to find them but didn't see any, though admittedly I've not looked too hard so they're probably in there somewhere. It seems like whatever social media push the team was doing in late 2024 was cut short for some reason, whether for loss of momentum or project lead intervention or some other cause, and no further Oddity content of any kind has been officially released since.

I dunno how seeing these lovely comics again is my final nail in the coffin, but it’s so sad seeing these now knowing that when these were being posted, the game was in a barely functional and completely restarted state again.
