RAAAAAAAAGE FAAAAAAAACE! (Not quite another half-comic, but two-thirds. Will finish it later. It’s been a “stuff pops up” week. XD) Oh, and by the way, I finally got off my butt and did a little something to fix the “Chanelle[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Drawing contorted exaggerated facial expressions may be one of my favorite things.
When I worked at a cable company tech support center, I had a customer once who, when I called him Mister Jones (not his real name, don't even remember the real name) he got severely indignant and demanded I call him Doctor Jones. It always struck me as a really egotistical and conceited thing to do to a complete stranger. That experience is a small part of where Professor Trunchbull comes from.
Piece of bonus commentary: I had to post the outlines of this strip first and the colored version afterwards, but I also made a small dialogue change in the process. Instead of “Save it, Mina” in panel 4, Todd now[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
"That escalated quickly" would make an appropriate title for this whole arc, honestly.
There is a very small numerical symbology reference embedded in the strip's dialogue if you wish to puzzle it out. Hint: there are also three affronted faculty members.
In which the wrong lesson is learned. – – – – – Just want to share this: a Selkie reader emailed me the other day to let me know that, motivated by the strip as well as real-life accounts which[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If Amanda ever finds out that groin kicks = week off school.... well, she just shouldn't ever know this.
Getting a bit… draconic in here. A few link-backs. First, the return of the Terrible Tolerance poster. Also, Chris Thompson: baseball enthusiast, collector of turtles, ex-elementary school gym coach, current Wool-Mart grocery bagger.
Todd probably shouldn't have made that hobbit crack. I mean, hobbits are peaceful farm folk who want nothing more from life than a good pipe underneath a large oak on a balmy day. It's almost a compliment. Unless you count Smeagol.
We’re finally coming to a wrap-up. Didn’t think the arc would go this long, honestly. Good thing I didn’t pull this back during the twice-a-week schedule, eh? – – – – – I got a fan-art yesterday from Courtney Huddleston[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I may start referring to Principal Ashton as "Peaches".
Sandy maaaaaay not be entirely kidding about the makeup thing, but I don’t think Todd and Selkie’s home has anything more extensive than chapstick. – – – – – More fanart came in that I wanna share. Courtesy of Amber:[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I had a few more plans for the "Wu is Mad at Selkie" sub-thread, but (1) I feel like Wu wouldn't continue to hold a grudge once they came under mutual attack (especially knowing she got hurt) and (B) my original plans would work better as it's own dedicated arc, I think, so I'm gonna backburner them for awhile.
Sorry to keep pulling the half-finished comic thing gang. The new overnight shifts are throwing me for a loop sleep-wise. I’m off the next few days though so will try to get more caught up, and this one should be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Amanda's a southpaw, so her left hook is pretty good.
