Listening to a live version of the Decemberist's Mariner's Revenge Song as I worked on the last few pieces of this strip. I think it's kismet.

2208 comics.
In the first draft of this sequence, Heather and Selkie were playing a co-op video game together. I changed it to an outdoor activity because it felt like I was forcing my own interests on Heather and Selkie. Heather doesn't strike me as the kind of kid who likes video games much.
And here we go. Like the Selkiedinger sketch before it (below the comic), here is a second sketch in the Selkie/League of Legends crossover theme: Amanda dressed as Annie. I changed Tibbers to a rabbit because rabbits feel more Amanda-y[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Annie's title in League of Legends is The Dark Child. You see where I'm going with this.
Just a heads up, I am doing another Sketch Day Saturday this week. When it rains it pours, eh? This one is League of Legends themed. A while back I sketched Selkie as Heimerdinger, this next one is a different[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Heather's happy face in the central panel was the first thing I inked, before I even set up the panel borders. <3
I wanna thank everyone for offering me their opinions on the issue of re-drawing old strips last time. I have a few angles I am considering for Selkie merch, books being one of them, after I finish some current projects.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Barb is displaying a tendency to over-react that... that just makes me chuckle. XD
Sorry for the late sketch, early risers. I kinda slipped last night. XD I call the bottom sketch Nightmare Mode Selkie.
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
I realized the other day that I haven’t done a Sketch Bonus Saturday in a looooooong time. I want to do one this weekend, but not sure what to draw for it yet… thoughts? Also had another question. I read[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There's something indefinable about Barb's head shot in panel 3 I really like.
Early on in plotting things out, as far back as when I introduced the Fairweathers even, I considered the possibility of having Barb turn out to be Todd's biological sister. I discarded this idea a long while ago for a variety of reasons, the big one being a bit of a tipping-point on the coincidence/believability meter. In fact, I decided to use this tidbit for the Commentary just to get the idea out of my head and make it stop trying to convince me to use it. XD
I decided this arc was a good time to revisit something from past strips that I’ve been meaning to use again for a long long while. Everyone, I am pleased to introduce… the return of the Dinosaur Dress. :3
Selkie final word balloon almost said "Because I's hungry", but something felt wrong about Selkie wanting to eat a pony.
I’m sorry for the half-comic gang. Had a busy weekend and lost track of myself. The backgrounds are about half done, but I need to get to bed and I wanted you guys to have SOMETHING to read come morning.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I do not approve of the Fairweather's actions in this comic. What they are doing here is reprehensible and someone needs to step in and take action to make sure they never commit a travesty like this again. Mashed potatoes are one hundred times better with the skins ON, Ken and Barb! COME ON!
