As always, Sev's problem-solving skills are unmatched.
You can also see my progress work (pencils, inks, etc.) when you vote for Runewriters!
(Also, just to mention it - the filler has not disappeared; it is in a special filler place. I just need to get a link up to it, which I will do... sometime soon!)
Vote Incentive for This Comic.
I assume through his nose, since his mouth doesn't seem to be working too well.

It looks like his nose is covered, to me.

It does indeed look like all of his face except for the one eye is being covered. Though I don't know if tentacle hands make an airtight seal.

True, but I'm covering my nose with my hand as hard as I can and I can't actually block air completely without pinching it shut. xD Suckers like that do create an air-tight seal (that's what makes them hard to pull off), but I'm fairly certain that's only for the sucker, not for the entire length of the tentacle/arm/hand-in-this-case. Even if Sev arguably could keep the guy from breathing, that is (a) not really his goal here and (b) something that would require a slightly greater mastery of the appendages in question.

Point A): I agree that the suction cups each would make an individual airtight seal, while the rest of the tentacle would be less so.
Point B): Sev is trying to figure how to let go, so that should make it more likely that there's some air space.
Point C): Hooray for the internet and comics and all that contributes to an artist smushing her own nose in experimentation, just so she can contribute to a discussion about tentacle facepalms.
That is all. :D

Shall we all abscond for a round of tentacle facepalming then?

I just tried it myself, and I actually could stop myself breathing quite easily. I guess my nose must be a different shape to yours...
