“Stack of toenails” is a line I’ve been trying to work into this strip for months now. See what patients gets you?
I was looking at the character sketches on my wall above my drawing table. I notice that somewhere along the way, Amelia lost her little girl look. Don’t know what it was I did in those original sketches but I can’t seem to capture that feel now. I’ve tried. Maybe this is the way she needs to be and it’s the comic gods telling me to “leave her be.”
Close, but….
And for those who are keeping track, there someone who has been missing for quite a while who is due for a comeback.
Stay tuned.
Cheers.
This comic shoulda came with a disclaimer…or at least a bottle of disinfectant.
And lots of gloves.
And the winner of the Gross award 2014 goes to………..
He would do Oscar Madison proud.
That’s not a house, it’s a habitat.
Well, he is a bear. 🙂
I’m a neat freak, I wouldn’t be able to take the pressure of staying there! 😛
Our power went out one night due to a storm many years ago. I stayed with some people I knew. Slept on their floor in the spare bedroom. Within an hour after I had arrived, both their dogs had peed on my sleeping bag one chose to top it off with a wonderful dookie. and in the morning, I had several roaches running over my hand while I was at the the bathroom sink. We opted to brave our own hot, powerless house the next night.
Oh my god…
I don’t think there is an emoticon to express how I feel about that!
You’re an artist, Bill. Maybe you can invent one for this occasion. 😉
Glad you got the “Stack of toenails” in there p.j. It can be frustrating to have a line you like and not know how to use it! And yes, it’s amazing how differently a character can look over time. The comic gods have been good to Amelia!
Thanks David. She’s not exactly how I want her to look. I wanted her to look more childlike, like 9 or 10 years old. She’s OK now, just a little older than I wanted. She’s still fun to draw though.
Wow you did it. It’s not every day anyone gets to use “Stack of toenails” in a comic. I remember a woman on the train once clipping her toenails & they were flying off in all directions. It would’ve been nicer if she’d stacked them
They are easier to maintain… and catalog if they are stacked.
