If you need help with panel 5: Maslow’s Heirarchy. Food Pyrmaid. Also thanks to Wikipedia I learned that America apparently no longer uses the Food Pyramid diagram as of 2011. Since it’s still 2010-ish in the comic’s canon this technically[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Considered drawing a Solitaire game behind the word processor window in Trunchbull's desktop, but wasn't sure it would convey well at that size.
Was originally going to have Todd say "Marjorie" or "Ophelia" or something else old-fashioned sounding, but then realized it was a good "callback joke" opportunity. :3
I picked up Saints Row 4 on the Steam holiday sale and love the craziness. I also love the character creator… President Selkie in 2016 ya’ll. This strip finishes the Big Ol’ Infodump story line. We’ll see the De’Madieas again[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There's some pretty big continuity errors here that I didn't catch in time to fix (or if I did go back to fix them it would delay the comic to the point of a skipped update). Lets make a Where's Waldo game of it instead.

Pohl puts the "magi" in "magitech". I wanted to close out the De'Madiea family's appearance with something unique that Todd and Selkie couldn't necessarily see/hear, but not something that ended the arc on a huge plot-related WHAM note like the "last of her clan's survivors" exposition from the hospital scene.
Happy 2014 Selkie readers! (Actually I am posting this a few hours early, so it may be 2013 still as you read this. Early strip to celebrate. XD) It’s been another great year, and I am looking forward to many[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sarnothi religion includes the concept of a dual-spirit. There is a spirit-self which is comparable to the idea of a "soul", but also a second spirit (a separate entity entirely) that serves as a bridge between the corporeal and spiritual worlds. Pluralized word forms are commonly used to address both a person's spirit-self and their spirit-bridge counterpart simultaneously, to avoid disrespecting one or the other.
