First comic of winter break! I don’t have grades yet, but I feel pretty confident about this semester. Thanks again for your understanding, everyone, when I had to shelve the comic for a bit the last couple weeks. I’ll probably[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My original exit line for Andi was going to be "You know Selkie's eventually leave for the ocean, right?" The whole scene was originally a lot angrier and more bitter on both sides, but after actually sitting down to work on it, it became more... "world crashing around you" -y, and I feel that original line is a bit too snipe-y for what Andi's feeling right now.
I am so sorry about the rushed and sloppy and generally disgusting comic today gang. I suffered a really big setback this weekend. My desktop computer got a really big virus infection. Pop-up ads kept blaring out every few minutes,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I thought I would try drawing the background regularly since I was pressed for time. It's sloppy and rushed and I freaking hate it. >_<
I am sorry about the half-comic again gang. Afraid I just had a lot going on with schoolwork and other miscellanea this weekend. On the subject of my schoolwork, I am afraid I must make a sad announcement. I have[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If Todd's face rash seemed MIA in the last strip, I sort of flubbed my continuity check on that one. Thanks to Luna_et_Noctis for catching my error, it has since been fixed.
So, let me say first thing, what you are seeing right now is NOT another of my style-change experiments. I assume that’s the first thing people will think upon seeing this. XD Basically, I lost a lot of my comicing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Writing the dialogue for this fight/break-up/argument has been a little difficult for me. Partly because it is derived from real-world experiences, partly because I keep wanting to pepper the dialogue with hard swears and having to go back and re-evaluate it. If I was writing Todd and Andi's dialogue the way I tend to talk in real life when upset, there'd be a LOT of little black bars on the speech bubbles.
If I (mentally) scribbled my timeline notes right, Andi started calling a little less than a week before the adoption day, and this meeting was put off until they had a chance to talk without child’s ears around, so it’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I mentioned in Andi's cast page entry that she has an in-progress back tattoo themed around the Epic of Gilgamesh. I wanted to get at least one shot of it worked in. I think it will probably become a continuity nightmare. XD
For those that may be interested, I uploaded a couple of my better student art projects to my Deviant Art account. http://eclipsing-saturn.deviantart.com/gallery/ Some of the items in that gallery are oooooollllld, so don’t judge me too harshly. XD
I was going to have Todd offer Andi a beer, but then I remembered it's still late morning at this point in the narrative. This almost led me to include a line about how Todd decided to stop keeping beer in the apartment because of post-adoption inspections, but it was too wordy to squeeze in.
Aaaand scene change. 😀 Probably silly to post this a second time, but based on reader feedback I made a few more changes to the seating chart. I replaced the X placeholder name for the orphans that were surrendered as[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I didn't mention it last time due to forgetfulness, but I am playing with no panel borders, based on some critical feedback from one of my professors during a student work critique.
To my fellow American readers, happy Labor Day! 😀 Sorry to make the holiday post one with kids being mean. I wanna share the latest fan art update while I am here! Courtesy of FlanFlanShazam, two Selkie inspired drawings: Thank[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I think "psychic devil orphan" sounds like something that might come out of Georges mouth.
Oh man you guys, I thought this one was gonna be delayed, but I pulled it off! This semester I have night classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, and I was a bit worried about the Thursday updates. Hopefully, you’ll never[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Marla B. Sanderson is a former mayor of Calumet City (where the comic takes place) who had a strong presence in the education system.
