I am now back in town from my trip to Florida. We visited my brother’s future in-laws (they’re very nice people who treated us like family the entire time, stuffed us to the gills with food, and gave us mangos from their very own backyard mango tree as gifts to take home. I love mangos as much as Selkie loves fishies. :D). I had the last two strips done before I left, but this one was done at the wire. I think this strip may be the latest I have ever missed a deadline… got it posted about half an hour late! I apologize to all the early readers that check right at midnight.
But never fear, I bear good tidings! Firstly, if you have been missing Selkie and Todd during this Orphanage Visitation mini-arc, check in this upcoming Saturday for a 4th of July Sketch Day bonus update!
Second item is… new Fan Art! Firstly from Questionable Panda:

Thank you both for the artworks!
Everyone have a good weekend, see you on Saturday’s bonus day, and then again on Monday. 😀
first!
I don’t really have anything germane to say. Maybe after I get some sleep 😛
I’m loving Amanda’s faces in these last few comics.
Woot. 🙂 ty Dave… I love how Keisha is more interested in the birds then being bossed around by Amanda.
OK, seriously, why would anyone NOT adopt Keisha? Keisha is awesome. Maybe they couldn’t find her because she’s always up a tree….
YES
The shading on this comic is much nicer: toadly keep up with this. Your art keeps getting better!
I wonder what Keisha’s reaction to Heather’s adoption will be. Either way, Amanda’s reaction will be… interesting.
Bluejays are not nice birds. If they were bluejays with eggs, Keisha would not be in their tree.
Aw, they’re okay. Scrub Jays are pretty naughty though. I released a young blackbird that was just learning to fly once and a scrub jay flew down and killed it. Right before my eyes. At age 12. I just couldn’t believe it. But I still like to watch all birds. Even the naughtier ones.
I think she means that bluejays would attack Keisha for being so close to their nest. Actually most birds probably would, especially if the eggs are hatching.
By two part shading, do you mean gradient or just using like the pencil tool to do the shading? I ask cuz I see both:)
Yep, I mean both. Pencil based cel shading with gradient overlay.
Mangos!!! Some day I hope to try a fresh one; the store ones are good, so I imagine fresh ones would be the best food ever.
Panda Selkie is awesome! 😀
Aww, Amanda’s face in the next-to-last panel… She may be a jerk, but she’s also a kid, and that fence must seem as high as the moon right now.
No… the toes of kid shoes fit neatly into the holes in chain-link fences. Until your feet get too big, a chain-link fence may as well be a climbing wall, or a ladder. The tough part is the spiky top; you have to balance very carefully as you go over it, plus not get poked. 😉
Heh, I remember doing that, and thinking that the spikes at the top were so unfair…
Dawww poor Amanda 🙁 jerk or not I’m really feeling for her.
I’m hoping Keisha won’t fall down on her head in shock… Then again, her reaction might be nothing like Amanda’s, but rather more positive.
The accompanying images of Selkie in physical-avatar form are quite interesting.
