Chapter:

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.

Chapter:

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…

Chapter:

Ah, THERE’S Lynni and Giselle.

The reflection SLAM panel was one of the first things I conceived of when working out this scene.

Chapter:

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.

Chapter:

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.

Amanda, noooooooooooo…

After drawing this one I was so eager to get to the follow-up strip I drew the first three panels while the inks dried. XD

Chapter:

Singing the Tax Day Blues with a happy smile and an enthusiastic stride… Heather still has much to learn.

I feel like when she gets a bit older, Amanda might identify a bit with The Blues.

Chapter:

Two things. Firstly, for those of you who have been asking about the option to purchase Selkie in print… NOW IS THE TIME! 😀 After getting several estimates from book binders and testing several print-on-demand services, I’ve found Selkie’s print[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

My original "punchline" for the bottom row was a silent beat panel followed up with Sandy pictograph-cursing. I love the pictograph-cursing, but it's probably an easy thing to over-rely on. Secondary re-write "punchline" before I settled on the current one was, "Yeah, well YOU wanted to play TAG for the hundredth-billionth-millionth time! At least i went outside the BOX!"

Chapter:

I retconned the outdoor scenes of this arc to include piled snow. I left the snow out originally to suggest today was a warmer day than the snowball fight blizzard, but after discussing it with some readers I felt like[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I love that cloud brush. I also love drawing Giselle. Maybe cloud-brush Giselle?

Chapter:

(They got that slap-push-pow, these bully’s crampin’ our style.) If you are like Wu and don’t get panel 1, go here Probable NSFW warning for cartoony internal organ/surgery humor. Oh, and thank you again everyone for the increased TWC voting![…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

"The Plan" is a combination of Hit-and-Run and Divide and Conquer.
