In the Chinese language, "four" sounds a lot like "death". Hence, that number has historically been considered unlucky.
Unless, of course, you are Dezimal Threat (he/him, male)
As a challenge, I have decided to try to commit to a comic for every day of the fourth month that contains the number "4", trying to have them published in 4 PM, and especially at a time that corresponds to the date. Whether I will keep it up, who knows (this comic... did not come out on time). But I'll try... I'll try each year.
Current cast so far:
Dezimal Threat (he/him, male) - rich person trying to make Dez Day a thing. (don't ask what Dez Day means)
April Fuoshi (she/her, female) - goddess of force. Spends most of her days half-dressed in her apartment. Unfortunate correspondence of Dez.
(April's surname is a pun on "fourth" and force; as you may have noticed, everybody's name are related to "four" in some way)

Welcome to Dez Day, everyone! Updated every fourth month in a day containing "four", Dez Day is a
1) a comic dedicated to Dez Day, some holiday brainstormed and focus-tested by "leading billionaire brilliant-mind" Dezimal Threat as he attempts to make it a thing
2) an exercise to produce the most low-effort high-quality work.
3) just something to do for joy
Don't expect quality. Actually, don't really expect that much. But I'll try to work it so you can epxect every "day containing four" for every fourth month.
For sure!
