This scene has gone through so many iterations it's insane. In the cruelest version, a version which probably borders on character-breaking in it's awfulness, Mari wrapped up the urn as a gift, with paper and bow and everything, and gave it to Andi during the gift exchange in front of everyone. Interestingly, every discarded variation has a common reason for not being used: I just can't see a feasible scenario where Mari would give Andi the urn or have this conversation in front of the girls.
Grandma Mari knows darn well Selkie is not inclined to take a bite of any type of cake, rum-infused or otherwise. But dialogue wise it felt more "grandma-y" to me for her to express concern over both kids accidentally imbibing liquor, instead of singling one out over the other.
Time for some polite hellos. – – – – – I dunno how else to say this except to be blunt. I’m tired to hell of bickering, fights, petty snappishness, and other general unpleasantness in the comic comments. I don’t[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

No one outside family is allowed to call him that. :3
Still kind of figuring out just HOW curly to make Richard's hair. As the owner of hair that goes from business to clowntown in just a couple weeks, it's a delicate issue.
I was originally going to have Marta slinging colorful illustrations at Antoine in the last panel, but I don't think she'd knowingly do that around kids. Unless pressed too far. >:D
I know some of you hate these, but I’m afraid I’m not feeling very well right now, and will have to finish this strip later. Updated version will be up tomorrow at the latest. -EDIT- Done, thank you for your[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Clyde is a fully grown beagle-terrier-something, but if he's like my terriers he'll have a puppy's energy until he drops of age.
I haven't really drawn much "winter-wear" thus far in the strip's long (in real time) winter because I kind of figure they have a good cold tolerance in Wisconsin, and the last few winters in the real world have been fairly mild, so I outfitted people accordingly for a not-all-that-harsh winter. But today seemed like a good day to finally put a damn hat on everyone.
(Working on colors, but may not be able to finish before bed so it’ll probably be updated later tonight) We haven’t seen much of Marta and Antoine and even less of their significant others (this is actually Richard’s first on-screen[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Electric fireplace was a last minute decision because I realized I didn't draw a chimney flue the last time I drew Grandma and Grandpa's house.
