Heather's dialogue on this page was inspired from real life. My brother and his family spent Christmas in Miami with his in-laws, and he said their 5 month old son hated the heat down there and was fussy and crying the whole time.
I’m counting a lack of blinding people with venom as a Christmas Miracle. ;P -EDIT- Made some post-release modifications to the strip. The changelog is as follows: Modified lighting in Panel 1 Fixed consistency issue with Todd’s collar Added texturing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
Just getting something out of the house. I hope everyone had a great Christmas! It’s almost 2017, can you believe it?!

Mari and Theo are loosely based on my own maternal grandparents, and many of the gifts I've gotten from them over the years have been practical things I didn't ask for, but appreciated very much once I'd put them in action. One of them is the space heater that's been keeping my room toasty in winter for ten years now.
Thank you all again for your patience with my sick day on Monday. Dayquil and Mucinex is helping. —- Fanart update! Kristine Melendez shared this on the Selkie facebook page: Thank you so much! It’s cute! 😀
