Been messing with brush settings in Photoshop and thought I’d do the backgrounds a little differently. Not sure about it yet as a regular thing, (I’ve done a couple other strips like this before and ran into issues) but you[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Pohl's bunny ears were one of my first mental images of the character. I almost didn't use it but... nah. XD

I think I’ve got everything settled down from Monday’s update hiccup. Just need to figure out a way to put the notice/title back on the transcript so people know about Director Commentary. By the way, click the transcript button below[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The nameless couple stuck in Waiting Room Hell are loosely based off two customers from the store I work at. Very loosely.

I clicked what I THOUGHT was an innocent Comicpress update, but apparently it was a full conversion to Comic Easel and now a lot of the site is completely BORKED. So things my be rough for a bit but hopefully[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

For the hospital panel I thought, "It's a single splash panel, I'll work it out quick and fast then worry about the rest of the strip." Quick and Fast turned out to be a majority of the production time. XD

Lynni’s the sweet-talker.

I had a few issues when I was younger of getting befriended by kids who just wanted to manipulate me or case my house out for stuff to steal. It suuuuuuuuucked.

If I can stick to the script the bathroom scene should be over after Friday’s strip. After that it jumps to the hospital. I don’t remember what exactly, but I think something was going down there?

The last few strips have used greyscale watercolor washes overlaid on top of the standard flat colors, to add a little more texture.

Amanda bailed. ↓ TranscriptIf Giselle can truly master the fist-shake she’ll make an excellent evil mad scientist when she’s older. …I feel like her theoretical evil mechanical minions would be pony-themed. Not THOSE ponies, mind you. Or maybe…

Ah, THERE’S Lynni and Giselle.

Technically I think Heather already HAD an “I Have Parents” party. – – – – – Anyone else read A Redtail’s Dream? I was introduced to it from another webcomic, and it’s close to ending (I think), so I am[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Had to give the dialogue a few passes to give Heather the right words to say without it sounding too far beyond her years.

And all the Kids in Kidville say, Heather’s spine grew three sizes that day. – – – – – Innappropriate to the comic, but I’ve been having a nostalgia fit the past couple days for a 1992 cartoon that never[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Occasionally when I post half-finished to-be-completed later updates, people tell me they like how the blank white background lends a different emotional tone than when the backgrounds are done normally. Thought I'd use that intentionally this go-around.
