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. I’ll finish the backgrounds up sometime Monday evening.
(and that little yellow bump on Kenneth’s head in Panel 2 is Heather walking down a hallway. I say this because until I get the backgrounds in, it just looks like he bleached a stray cowlick.)
-EDIT- Comic updated, along with a few other tweaks. The hairshark is gone because with the background in place it made heather look 10 feet tall. XD
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!
Eh, it’s still story progression and the effort is appreciated.
Actually, my first thought about panel 2 was “Is that a ginormous zit on his head??” 😉
A blonde hair shark
Well… they’re being more sensitive about Selkie’s “Problems” than I would have figured.
….They havn’t seen her yet…
I don’t know if it’s ‘sensitivity’ or just a hyper-knee jerk reaction to needing to be “PC”.
It’s interesting to have the Fairweather’s parenting tactics to compare with the Smith’s. I am preferable to the Smiths tactics and actions, but I will give the Fairweathers the credit the deserve.
Now if this keeps going on six months latter my credit in their favor will turn to disgust. A month, sure but longer then that? Seesh.
You know, sometimes when ignorant people try to be kind it’s better than them not caring at all. Neither of them seem like the sharpest tools in the shed and have obviously said some tactless things without comprehending their words, so I’ll take what I can get from them at this point.
And I can’t stand peels on my potatoes, be they mashed or french fried. But I also could never be a vegetarian, I would die of starvation.
To each their own.
OOoohh, and Selkie is comming over. Poor kid. Wonder how Heather’s new parents are going to stick their collective foot in their collective mouth.
Wait- you named this kid Heather Fairweather? How did I miss that the first time??
I like the code you used for Kenny’s swear. Nifty idea. 🙂

I read it as StarHouseTorchTurtle~
Just look at the first letter of each item. I thought torch too, until I saw what had been done there.

Must I really spell it out? I’m trying not to curse these days!
Ah, that’s clever! I’ve seen curse word symbols enough in comics that I didn’t think to look deeper to the choice of symbols here. I tip my hat to you, Dave.
I still think Amanda is Tod and Andy’s biological child, but ignore me.
I would reply to this post but I’m ignoring you. 😉
I already feel bad for Selkie. They are making a fully vegetarian meal for Todd, but it looks like she’ll get nothing. They obviously don’t know she’s a carnivore if this is all they’re making. When Todd accepted the invitation he should have told them about her eating habits. I’m confused as to how this happened, but hopefully we’ll get an explanation further into this chapter. I can see Selkie thinking they are doing it on purpose to make her sick and becoming even more angry at Heather and her mom. I hope this dinner goes well and Selkie can forgive her. Heather could be a good friend to her if things go well.
Uh, go back to the previous strip. Barb is worried about veganizing the [i]roast[/i]. Selkie will be fine as long as there’s no peanuts.
I haven’t forgotten the previous strip. When I looked up a veganized roast they said it can be done by using soy. Last I checked soybean is a plant.
It’s okay, I’m sure they have a huge fish tank with lots of really expensive fishes she can nom on. XD
Out of curiosity, just how long has Heather been grounded now?
It’s still the same week. The Incident occurred on Monday, the visit to the grandparents was on Tuesday, and this is Friday evening.
gotta love how a few months of comics in the real world has only been a week in the comic world…..now if you could draw faster…..
It’s surprisingly harder than it looks. O.O
I do feel bad for Heather. As a really young kid I was very cheery and full of energy with got me in trouble when I was impulsive. I learned to be quiet and not do much of anything or else I’d just get embarrassed again.
READING THE COMMENTARY NEARLY MADE ME CHOKE ON MY JELLO
that was EXCELLENT
Hey I was listening on the radio today and I just couldnt help but notice how the song. “In another life” sounds a perfect song for Andie and Tod doesnt it!
Never heard it, who sings it?
Katy Perry. It does fit them pretty well.
ROFL I think this is my favorite page EVER. Hilarious.
Why is he saying Star House Icecream Tortoise?
