Grandpa Theo loves that dog.

With my current chapter layout, it’ll be awhile before we actually meet the aunts and uncles and cousins and everything. But I know their mention will make everyone curious, so come back on Saturday for a bonus sketch featuring Marta, Antoine, and Clyde!
Additionally, I am happy to show off a new addition to the Fan Art gallery! This is courtesy of Jillian:

Thank you so much Jillian!
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.

Panel three had me laughing, panel four put me in stitches! And that fan art is beautiful, so melancholy, yet also cute!
I definitely agree
I agree on all counts. I love the fan art.
Dave> Panel three is indeed both!
Clyde so DOES count!
I love the look of surprise on selkie’s face in pannel 3. So cute! also, great job Jillian on the artwork. She looks so demure and cute. 🙂 This really is one of my alltime favorite webcomics. I love seeing how things develop and really look forward to seeing these characters twice a week. 🙂
OMG my dog’s name is Clyde! Is it a beagle?
Cutest webcomic I’ve ever read, makes me feel all fuzzy inside. Also, Selkie’s speech reminds me of Toki and Skwisgard from Metalocalypse.
the sounds are deffrent couse silky ends her words with a S while say Skwisgard ends his words with a Z
L, is it? Keikaku doori…
Hah! I actually had to look that one up! I’ve never watched Death Note except the potato chip clip.
@Devin8878: No, you lie! YOU LIIIIEEEE!!! *wavy arms*
Fun fact: Skwisgaar was one of my original inspirations for Selkie’s speech pattern. 😀
I’m constantly impressed how much humor you can pack into each update. I’m laughing so hard I cried at the third, fourth, and last panels. xD
I see you’ve added some shading on this one: keep it up, it looks much nicer! try adding a little shading to be backgrounds, and perhaps changing the angle a touch. <3
The shading does look nice. I love to watch how the art progresses!
i think this is the first time ive seen cute ab#nd terrafying combined..
also, that fan art is just so awsome i want to adopt it..
I propose a solution to your dilema. Panel three is neither adorable, nor is it terrifying. It is, drumroll please….ADORIFYING!
Adorifying is a good word. I suspect it will come in handy around Selkie.
The perfect adjective for much of this comic :).
I have to say, I’m impressed that his parents didn’t run screaming after panel three.
I thought Selkie had just inexplicably entered Rage Mode in panel three, and was going to fly at them like a crazy flesh-eating leech. Then I read the next line and realized it was just an OMG face.
—That drawing is gorgeous, Jillian! She’s so cute.
The idea of Selkie as a flesh eating leech makes me laugh more than it probably should. XD
Wonderful storytelling. Selkie being an orphan, a child and nonhuman gives her experience of even day-to-day life a “wait a minute– WHAT ?” quality. Being able to pull readers into that perspective is not easy, and a testament to your craft.
And yes: lovely fan art, Jillian.
When do we get to see Clyde’s room? This comic gives me no end of joy.
A DOG WITH HIS OWN ROOM? They must have a fair amount of money if they could afford that!
Actually, I suspect Clyde has Todd’s or Marta’s or Antoine’s old room. My ferrets have their own room, and we’re dirt poor, we just live in an old house with one small and two tiny bedrooms instead of two small ones.
I notice Theo still hasn’t put down the potato salad…
the bags of food….they still be a missin’… i’m hungry… 🙁
The grocery bags are chilling in the hallway. Or that’s my excuse for not drawing them anyway. XD
SURPRISE! o/
Panel three is Phenombulously Adorifying.
hey wow that eye look of hers is really good your getting better on her showing more expressions. Just so people know and you too I have started on another fan art of selkie and hears the link

I do hope she’ll stop getting mad at me for not drawing I do have a video-game life ya know love the work
I love that sketch! It’s so… adorifying!
Is that the finished drawing? If it is, I’d like to add it to the galleria.
ooooh Dave its not you can if you want cause its so cute but the finish will be done in watercolor or maybe if I’m up for it the full works
I’ll wait then!
I have two daughters. They are my parents’ only grandchildren. They are ferrets.
That woman’s a bad egg. Don’t listen to her.
DAMNNNNN! Selkie is horrifying in panel 3. Normally she’s at least a little cute, but this nearly made me wet myself! I know, i’m s wuss, but she looks so scary, my little sister was reading this comic (she’s 7) and she FREAKED out at Selkie’s expression.
panel.
three.
Holy shit.
I am new to the Selkie comic… and I will say: “OH MY GOD” to her face in the 3rd panel. I spit out my water~! Well drawn! I’m LOVING this comic~
Why is their family incapable of being fertile?
If he has his own room then Clyde counts.
