Burrito Slippers and Taco Pants
At least the burrito slippers are warm.
This strip started out as a way to introduce a prop for Amelia. Namely a hat of some sort. See, now it’s Amelia’s turn to give me grief. I have been struggling with her character design for some time now. I’ve been trying to get back to the original feel when I first did character sketches a year ago. She was more kid-like and more tom-boyish. So in my challenge, I thought maybe a hat would help things. I decided against the hat I think (but pressed on with the gag). My theory in drawing a character is they should be fun to draw. If they are fun, it shows. If they aren’t fun, your hating life.
So more minor tweaking I guess.
I have a guest strip coming up in June for another artist’s comic. Amelia is making an appearance (spoiler alert) and I need to dial her in soon.
Cheers
im digging the Slash hat, but it needs conch shells. The THOR hat does look the coolest though
Every hat imaginable.
I like hat #2. Is that Carl’s grandfather by any chance???
Just proves that old people can be useful after all
Ah you never know.
Thanks for the super fashion show!
Duffy’s pleasure.
The Susquehanna hat company called, they want their Abbott and Costello hats back! [smirk]
Haha! Great bit!
I wonder what she’ll say about the jelly shorts!
Jelly shorts…. ahahahah!
It’s the thoughts that count.
Yes, I supposed it is. Quite a thought too.
It’s made of synthetic material!
Hmmm, fake-snake.
Hopefully he won’t ask about the boots…
or the socks.
I think those are all good looks for Amelia. And some of the Village People! 😀
Yeah. She’s fine. I’m just being over critical. It’s what I do best.
If you’re taking votes, I vote for the Thor hat!!! 🙂
Yeah. I second that! Funny thing is that it was a last second addition.
Those are usually the best, in my experience.
Yep. Some of my best bits have been an as-I’m-inking-the-dialog move.
Great comic P.J., my hats off to you!
Hey. I see what you did there.
