So tempted to draw the first panel of the next strip in a Star Wars lightsaber duel mock-up, but I don't think it would fit Amanda's personality. Selkie'd love it though.

Color coded mayhem!! I don’t normally do this because I’m silly and forgetful, but by request I thought I’d share here the beta version of this strip that was up as a placeholder while I got the coloring finished.
I think Felix made an impression on Selkie
Was going to say "Sharpie" instead of marker, but (A) I dunno if that brand name is used outside America and (2) I've got a pattern of parody-brand-names I'd like to stick too but didn't want readability of the joke to get obscured. So, "marker".
Andi also has an in-progress tattoo of Gilgamesh Enkidu and Humbaba on the small of her back, and two others in non-kid-appropriate places.
Not sure how Selkie would get a tummy tattoo of a farmhouse pond.
I. Like. Punctuated. Sentences.
As some readers pointed out correctly on the previous strip, Selkie wasn't aware of the GameKid's smashing. It happened after she'd left.
Amanda's height is almost the same as Todd's in panel three because she's standing on a higher plane of the ground than he is right there. Or because I didn't want her to disappear too much behind the couch. Feel free to pick the answer you like best.
Original script for Panel 3 had Andi gesturing towards Amanda with a "See? This is what I'm talking about" expression, but upon actually drawing it I was afraid it gave the impression of Amanda being "tricked" into a flip-out, which was not a desirable message, so I modified it to a facepalm.
In earlier strips Todd's head and Amanda's head were drawn very similarly, but over time Todd got a bit longer and more... adult-y. Obviously they resemble each other but it felt strange after awhile to draw a late-twenties man and an eight year old girl with exactly the same face shape. Some things stayed similar between them, though.
Those German lessons are coming along well. Incidentally, those of you who read my other project The Adventures of Sue and Kathryn may recognize a scene here. :3
