a) If they’re using regular construction paper instead of special-made origami paper, they’d need to cut the rectangular sheets to make the squares most origami patterns are based on.
b)In the context of an elementary-school activity, ‘origami’ might just be being used as a general term for paper-based, non-drawing/painting crafts, rather than the specific paper-folding art. George could be folding up paper and cutting out bits to make snowflakes, for example.
I usually think of those ones where even the blades are covered in plastic and you’re just like “how have these ever cut anything, ever?” when I think of awful safety scissors, but yeah I definitely see it with those tiny ones, too.
They’re grade school scissors. You only get the teeny round-edged ones then. (If your school is *really* protective, you only get the teeny round-edged ones that struggle to even cut construction paper.)
Trusting their best judgement – because an eight-year-old will TOTALLY consider the full potential consequences of their actions, and refuse to play with their friends just in case it aggravates an inconvenient medical condition, and not at all worry about their friends resenting them for not taking part in the game. (Not that Tedd has any way of knowing this will happen. Excellent foreshadowing.)
I’ve only commented once or twice but two things I wanted to say to you:
1) your art skill has been increasing phenomenally not just in style but positions, shapes, and character expressions. I love watching webcomic artists get better and it really makes me happy to see it since I’ve been reading this since you first started.
2) I was looking on your list of webcomics (I have read some of / all of the majority of them on your list) but I noticed one that you didn’t have. I wasn’t sure if you haven’t read it yet or didn’t know about it but:

i draw a lot myself, and if for nothing else, i’d suggest you check it out because it’s 3-d created and one thing I did notice in your art is while you do make an attempt at putting in shadows, it seems like one of your weak points. I draw a lot too and I wasn’t great at them either, but practicing viewing light sources, and also reading the comic I just linked you helped me out a lot.
The forehead-brush reminds me of the Alien Nation TV series, where placing a closed fist against the temple of a Tenctonese was an expression of affection, and touching temple-to-temple was like a kiss.
I agree, his smile IS creepy.
Your trying to cheer your friend up Georgie not trying to kill batman.
Early comic today?
Either George’s hands are huge or those scissors are absolutely tiny
I think they’re laying kind of over his shoulder, so perspective makes them look smaller.
Personally, I prefer using tiny scissors for arts and craft. And yes, I do own scissors close to the size of the pair that George is using.
However, there is one thing that confuses me. You don’t use scissors when making origami, so why is George holding a pair?
I guess we’ll find out in the next update.

c) Scissors were necessary for the punch line.
Was going for those scrunchy Safe-T scissors they give to kids. May need to redraw. XD

Love the look on George’s face! Those are some seriously tiny scissors though = )

I can still feel the cramping and pinching of my fingers as if it were yesterday….
