Thank you both, I love them!
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.

There is not enough words in any language, separate or combined, to describe how adorable Selkie is in this strip!
Yay for bear-paw slippers! 🙂
Oh my gosh, cuteness all around! ^.^ Maaan, I would’ve loved the dinosaur dress when I was little, I was ALL about the dinos.. And that first fan art pic makes me think of the old “Casper The Friendly Ghost” cartoons, in a good way.
The dinosaur dress is my favorite! I am wholly expecting to see Selkie wearing it at a later date in the comic. (Pleeease? :D)
OMG lol why do they have a lil hoe shirt? Selkie is so cute >.<
Ho shirts are for bitch little rich girls, who know what a ho is.
Selkie is adorable tho.
I usually assume they’re for the daughters of strippers who don’t know who the daddy is… and who are eager for their daughter to be old enough (an age we might not all agree with) to contribute to the rent.
…but then that’s just my own take (although I’m probably not alone). I’d never allow any child to wear such a shirt at any age where I controlled her buying decisions.
My vote is definitely for the papergirl outfit. I don’t know why I think it’s so cute. And the pajama’s are just adorable, she reminds me of my niece, she’s always running around in her pajama’s and elmo slippers.
ZOMG i love the dino outfit! please make her wear that more often!
How much money does this guy have?!
You do realize that now we’ll be expecting to see some of her new outfits in the comic! lol She’s just adorable!
That poor man just got introduced to the would-be sexualization of our little girls. *Chuckles* He must be shopping at Target.
That dinosaur dress is the most fantastic thing that has ever been.
The triceratops dress is tops!
New reader here and I have to say, I don’t even really like your art style (although it is unquestionably getting better all the time) and the simplicity and charm of the story has sucked me in. Selkie is just interesting. She behaves like a real little girl would given her unique situation and is also esoteric and interesting in a way that wants to make me keep on reading. How you’ve set up Todd’s mysterious past and Selkie’s rivalry with Amanda was well done in a way that allows the story to easily transition into those future plot points. I want to know about Todd, about Silkie’s anatomy, about Amanda, what will happen in school. I’m hooked; invested in these characters because they are human and relate-able. You’ve got a really good thing going here, keep it up.
I think that a couple pages of Selkie’s race anatomy were posted a while back. Can’t say for sure what pages they are, though….they’re quite interesting; I’d take a look if you can find them.. >>

Selkie looks so cute panel 2! If I were him, I’d buy her that one!
I second the vote for papergirl as the best outfit.
Dangs! One for each shoe!
Also, it may not come in purple but you TOTALLY could dye it :),
Too cute! Also i laughed so loudly at both selkie’s question and Todd’s reaction in panel 3. Haha! She’s having fun shopping!
ahhh don’t try that I went 3 weeks in slippers at school….the poor bunny’s didn’t last and I had to rid my favorite slippers…….YOU SHALL BE FOREVER MISS MY PINK BUNNIES!!!!!!
hehe, I love Selkie’s second outfit <3 Newsboy caps rule~! 😀
Ok, I think we officially have enough votes, Selkie better be leaving the store with the papergirl outfit or you’ll have a riot on your hands.
*lights a torch and grabs a pitchfork.*
I’ll give these to Selkie, I swear that I will. ^.^
I like the 2nd one
This cheered me up to no end.
I wish I’d been as cute as Selkie as a kid. I hated dressing up. Todd’s such a sweetheart! It’s cute to see how well they’re getting on.
“Rawr!” <3
I loved that. Such cute outfits ^u^
Am I the only one here who loves the blue seal dress?
Also — GREAT job on Selkie’s expression in the third panel.
Eeeee! So cute!
OH GOD THE CUTENESS
Todd has to be reasonably affluent and he was probably planning a shopping trip for sometime soon anyway. If Selkie leaves the store with less than 3 of those outfits and two pairs of shoes, I’ll join the pitchfork/torch protest. 😀
A lovely bonding occasion… The newsgirl outfit is definitely a keeper! And the dinosaur dress! Break out the torches, pitchforks and rake-thingies!
I
I just started reading this today. It’s magnificent work. Very sweet, with some very nice subtle science-fictional touches.
Can Selkie eat Crooks’ food?
She probably could eat cat food, but I can’t see Todd buying cat food for someone he perceives as a daughter.

They totally make purple leather. You can even get metallic silver and gold leather.
she has to be the cutest thing ever
I want her triceratops dress. Badly.
I think the brown leather looks good on her, purple would be too much like her skin color. Sort of like a white person wearing light tan or pale pink, or an African American wearing dark brown or black. It’s OK, but contrasts work best.
Man, I wish I could wear slippers instead of shoes too! My life would be a heck-of-a lot easier then.
Everything about the fourth panel is amazingly perfect.
Panel 2: People are not waring enough hats! That is for sure, so please give a hat to all you’re favorite people for X-MAS!
Cheers!
Selkie in a pageboy hat is pretty awesome.
I love the “dawn of time” dress
Loving the comic. One thing stands out though… Those house shoes. I had a pair just like them. Oh dear GOD I loved those.
Papergirl = win
On an archive binge, but let me just say I freakin’ *ADORE* #2.
I just checked Amazon, they do make purple leather dresses, but not in a style that kids can wear. 🙂
Purple leather, oh the foreshadowing (assuming intentional not coincidental)
You know Dave, I don’t think we’ve seen #2 option in the comic, have we?
It’s a pretty cool look, actually; “Stylish Tomboy” I might call it.
If you’ve forgotten about this page, maybe have Selkie wear this outfit sometime.
Ah, I’m a fool!
How did I forget the infamous “stolen shirt”! My bad.
Yes, she will obviously wear this outfit again, but the absence of the hat she’s so interested in broke the framework of the look in my memory.
