So far, so good on maintaining a schedule. I'm a little worn out tonight, but I'm still aiming for another comic tomorrow morning. Morning-ish. If I get up early and get a lot done, I can take an early break in my day-job work day for drawing :D
At here comes a sticky points when developing historical characters: Are they true to the moral code and way of life of their times? or Are they just 21st century people in costumes?
Women in those times had to put up with a lot, and that included mistresses and concubines, which is the actual role of Spendusa. Felix is already telling her that even if he marries another woman, she still is his family. Will he still visit her bed at night? Who knows, but my bet is yes. And Spendusa will welcome him there. What will Elisa do? More likely ignore Spendusa and not allow her to be named nor seen in her house. Spendusa's daughter, that's another issue and it depends on Felix's feelings for her, which as we know are very deep.
Don't forget to make a sign against the evil eye and hang a bat in the house.
(A former coworker of mine once told me that hanging a bat in a corner of the room is considered good luck in her family, but I can't seem to find any other evidence of the origin of that one...and by "bat" I mean the flappy flying sort of bat, not the home-run kind. Not good luck for the bat.)

2) Felix already lost one almost-wife. Now he has two new ones... I hope he gets to keep them.
