My younger cousin was watching me draw this while visiting last weekend. He thinks Amanda looks like The Grinch. I told him he's basically right.

-EDIT- Apparently I forgot to draw Todd’s rash. Not the first time that’s happened either. XD A few weeks ago I had the privilege to visit a classroom in my town after the teacher saw the article about me in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Dialogue in a previous strip implied Amanda had already left the office between strips. I didn't really mean for that to be the case. :(
The office seems to be getting a bit full. XD Also, if you happen to be returning, I updated the Director Commentary with some new tidbits. :3 Thanks to Karl for prompting the train of thought.
I really liked the way this one looked without shadows and almost left it at flat colors. Changed my mind though. Also, I originally intended to address the speed with which Barbara Fairweather arrived at the school comparative to Todd directly, but changed my mind because I felt focusing on Todd immediately recognizing her flowed better. But in my first draft, the first few panels were like this: John (the principal): Mrs. Fairweather! We didn't expect you so soon. Barb (holding a smartphone, terse): Shopping. Cellphone. Buying hazelnuts. Ran some redlights.
We're soooo close to the end of this arc, and yet... there are still a few more story points to cover. ._.
Have a great piece of news to share with everyone today. Some of you may remember me mentioning in last Monday’s commentary thread that I was being interviewed by my local news paper about Selkie. The article went live yesterday![…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
After the last few pages of drama, it was fun to break the mood with some bickering. XD
I feel like this page has a lot crammed into it. But sometimes that happens.
Lisa is reading a pirate novel. She likes pirates. – – – – – Fan Art update to share today! Courtesy of Tinkerbinker, a drawing of a merboy inspired by Selkie: Thanks Tinkerbinker!
It's strange how things can evolve in your mind when writing a story. My original drafts had Selkie being more sympathetic to Keisha, but the more I think about their history and Selkie's personality, the more I realized Selkie would not be in a sympathetic mood right now.
I like to think Mark’s new dads strive to fix this kind of behavior. Shading-less update because oh god school yrglblrgl.
I haven't drawn Lillian and Mary in a loooong while. I had fun drawing Lillian in a pose besides "standing elegantly".
Today’s strip is a bit of a continuity shout-out to Mark Henderson, the kid who was almost a recurring cast member. He showed up here right at the beginning, then was adopted out of the orphanage here, then hasn’t been[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The little piece of backstory Keisha is starting here was something I wanted to drop in at the time she grabbed the shirt to explain her indignation, but there wasn't space to relate it properly and still convey the more important events. I think it works better at this scene, anyway. Rest assured, Mark was VERY sternly punished.
I think after I finish this arc, the between-chapter shorts are going to be saccharine as all get out to make up for all the dramabombs. XD
