The barret. I know I busted your chops a couple of times for forgetting to draw it. But I thought you said a few strips back that Amanda explained that she now had enough control that she did not need the blocker.
But the last trip she was wearing the blocker. Puzzled me. And now she’s still wearing it, but her eyes are lit up. Why isn’t it blocking her eye fire?
“You’re allowed to do it, but I want to watch in case something goes wrong.” That’s the right way for parents to handle children doing (mildly) worrying things.
Exactly. Todd is wise enough to know an outright prohibition will backfire- perhaps literally- and instead establishes a workable boundary.
When I discovered how to burn things with a magnifying glass, my mom had me promise to only do it with the means to extinguish any fire close at hand. We both knew I was a lousy liar, so I kept my word.
The posture, “ugh c’mon its obvious but FINE I’ll explain” tone, and general feeling of having no idea what they’re talking about; is not going to go away as the girls move into being teenagers, Todd.
Who wouldn’t want to watch magic in action?

That is supposed to say LAST STRIP, not last TRIP.
I hate otto korrik.
Same mistake but in the opposite direction. Did a small re-draw in Panel 1 to put her barrette in her hand.
She is improving in her control but still wears it sometimes.
