Well now, this could be fun. I wonder how Eleanor is going to react? And Reade? I think I can safely say that you’ll be surprised on Thursday.
And you’ll be delighted as soon as you click here and go to the latest beautiful page from one of my favorite webcomics, Princess Chroma. See, there’s three special cameos, and one of them is a very familiar face.
If one of them finds -half- a slug and the other comments on how his sandwich tastes “weird”… Yeah, “ew” is right.
Then again, I hear some people love escargo. It’s supposed to be a delicacy. I would imagine most people don’t eat them raw, though.
I’m pretty sure escargo comes from sea snails and not garden slugs. I wouldn’t know from experience, but I’m fairly certain (aka hope beyond all measure) that sea snails just taste like seafood.
Escargot is land snails. We had some when I was a kid. They’re not bad. You can still find canned escargot (with the shells separate on top) in some grocery stores.
Huh. Well, you learn new things every day. I’m still pretty sure I don’t want that sandwich though. I guess that’s one way to slug someone.
Well once again you’ve captured people to a “T”, Issy’s face is so much like her mothers in panel three (sans glasses of course).
I do greatly appreciate Jacob’s saying it’s not the girls’ job to make lunch. And when we do make lunch, we prefer at least a little appreciation for it. I like his attitude.
I’m…not gonna comment on the slug sandwich. Just…blech.
That’s Anya’s influence. Jacob’s already good about cooking, but I like to think she’s taught him a little bit about respect.
Technically it’s a half a slug sandwich, but still.
I love your expression of youthful awkwardness. And it’s nice to see them get a bit of a break from all the adult troubles they’ve gotten tangled up with too. They are still kids after all.
Exactly. I wanted to show them just being kids and having fun.
Braiding hair, giving noogies, finding parts of slugs, and playing pranks, those sorts of things.
Hehe. Charlie, I’m assuming you are decently removed in time from the teenage years, but you still portrayed it well, add entertainingly. 🙂
Thanks, man. Yes, I’am-“decently removed” is a good term-from the teenage years. But, having a daughter around their age, and having a lot of teen volunteers and library patrons helps considerably.
Ahh, the teen years, so very, very, very, did I say very, long ago.
having grown up in a desert, that much water was/is hard to imagine.
love the inter-actions between them.
Thank you!
And I have you to thank, scifijoe, for this story arc. You mentioned a while back that you’d like to see some attention paid to Esther. That got me thinking, and…well, you’ll see.
Well, thank yew!!
Love the new Logo. It perfectly captures the meat of what Groovy, Kinda is all about. Despite not having any actual characters in it, or anything like that. ;P
I tried to draw characters for it. I really did. But I have this mental block that keeps me from drawing them if they’re not in a comic. It’s terrible.
I may paste in pictures of them from earlier strips though…
Nah, the last thing I would want to do is make you fret about inconsequentialities. I respect your subconsciousness’ lack of enthusiasm for the project.
On another note, after reading this page, I can’t help but to wonder what Stephanie’s reaction might be to slug sandwiches.
My guess is it would somehow involve pudding.
I think she’d be able to tell before she took a bite. Then she’d probably try it anyway, just to see what it tasted like, and what ingredients she could get from it.
Also, I can just imagine the look on the jokester’s (Probably Jacob, but I could be wrong) face if she asked for another slug.
Ah, the flooded rock-quarry. The best of teen hangouts.
And sci-fi movies.
