The "are you really my mom" conversation is gonna be next strip because I don't want to compress it too much for this one.
Was going to use the standard cartoony hearts instead of the anatomical-ish one, but I thought that looked like it suggested Valentines Day, romance and etc. I like this approach more for conveying that pounding behind the ribcage.
I get motion-sick if I try to read anything in moving vehicles, but my solution isn’t pinching my nose. It’s to nap through every road trip.
Wanted a second line in the last panel for a punchline but (1) I think it would've detracted from the scene a bit and (2) the best thing I could come up with was something-something "If you're a cop, you have to tell me or it's illegal".
