Burrito Slippers and Taco Pants
Posted on May 23, 2014 by p.j.
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

      Yes, I supposed it is. Quite a thought too.

      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!!! 🙂

    1. p.j.

      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.
