I remember liking gym class when I was Selkie’s age. At that age it was just fun unstructured stuff like freeze tag and duck duck goose, or whatever you call the big rainbow parachute. I didn’t start hating gym class[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Due to poor time management, I couldn't do shadowing on this one. Sorry. -EDIT- And one whole update day later, I've gone and retroactively shaded the comic. Also added some classroom details to panel 3 that I forgot earlier. Yay retcon!
And now we introduce Mrs. Mina Afkhami’s student assistant: Ms. Jessie Flower.
Jessie's re-emergence requires a little bit of a retcon to her backstory; Wool Mart shoe clerk is now her job she works during summers and between classes while working towards her elementary education degree. When I created her way back when, I turned out to like her as a character more than I thought I would, and many readers grew attached to her very quickly. So I decided on "student teacher" as a means of giving her a more stable supporting cast position.
There haven't been background kids in this strip or the last one because I was afraid background comedy would detract from the mood. I don't follow the Harold Zoid method of drama.
Nothing like a dream sequence for a gratuitous cameo. 😀 Little Miss Muffet is from the webcomic Shards, written and illustrated by my friends Jade Griffin and Trevor Black. Jade and Trevor, I’ve taken the liberty of giving Dream-Muffet a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My original drafts just had Ricky and Tony blasted into space and disappearing into a twinkle of light. If you've seen Pokemon more than twice you know what I am referring too. I like the idea more of them being launched into space for a purpose, though.
-EDIT- Comic had a little downtime due to exceeding my bandwidth allotment. Fixed now, sorry for that! I apologize to those of you who check the comic right at the crack of midnight CST, had a late start on finishing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I was tempted to throw in a Girl Genius reference, what with the talking mad scientist castle and all, but it felt a bit forced.
It’s been awhile since we saw the Activity Center. I tried to make it look more lively than it’s last appearance. Color helps! I am going out of town for a bit starting this Wednesday. But never fear! I have[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My brother and I use to solve a lot of intellectual and philosophical disputes (also who got Controller 1 when playing Sega) by roughhousing until someone quit or Mom grounded us.
Todd, come on man… that was clearly intentional. ._. – – – – – I am excited to announce that this comic is the second-to-last strip before the end of the first chapter. Next Monday’s update will be the final[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
Todd doesn’t know about Selkie’s other language yet since he hasn’t had a chance to read the care file in detail. Also, for those that may have missed it, I had a bonus update on Saturday that had some information[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

So, if the last panel of today’s strip feels like it’s coming a bit out of nowhere, you’re not incorrect. The last panel was originally very similar to the first one, but then I had a thought. “Wouldn’t an orphanage[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
