I figured it out. Your comics remind me of the cover art from Mindless Self Indulgence's album Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy. That must be why I'm so drawn to them no pun intended.

Looks like the moons screaming again.

Wonder about what this time?

you may be closer to the truth than you realize.

Some say the entirety of the techno-mage plotline is OpenBlade relaying its adventures with the mage to Fosschild.
