Thanks to Vixy and Cat Valente, for being drafted as my lovely assistants. Thanks to Shaenon Garrity, whose costume designs I have cheerfully absconded with. No thanks to the damn cross-hatching. My hands still hurt.

Love the art.

Dunno if you have illustrator or pshop, but I think you could create some brushes to cover the cross hatching.

I'm pretty sure that she uses pen and ink, and that the images are direct scans.

So. Much. Awesome.

It is now one of my ambitions in life to do something cool enough to be featured in a Seanan McGuire Comic.

There's an ambition my art supplies and I can get behind.

Very nice. I once did a full sized color pencil fine art painting with background cross hatching. I will NEVER do that again.

I hope you win.

PS(Did you get the package?)

Lilly ate the tops off of several boxes. What did you send?

I'm reasonably sure that Vixy doesn't have plans to become President and destroy the world. Reasonably.
You, on the other hand, are just as terrifying as Helen. In the best possible way.

A small question: I can't find a Friends Like These where Feed is the main subject of the strip. Does this mean that there isn't one, or that I should go and look again?

seanan_mcguire

There wasn't one. Sadly, they take a long time to draw. If one existed, you would find it by following the appropriate tag.

“Fairy tale noir”. I like it. I’ll add that to the tags on LibraryThing...

(Sniffle!) I just got my copy of "Chicks Dig Time Lords" and YOURS was the first one I read and, and, .... Yeah, I cried, too.

Yes, Adric was right, and if a little blue box EVER suddenly appears in my yard, I'll make sure that you are one of those I come to get before we all head to alpha-centauri.

A job I once worked had a computer program in Unix where you typed in "fortune" and it would come up with all manner of strange things. One I liked best was, "Just around the corner, just out of sight, the unicorns are gathering."
We can add, "And just around the next corner from that, the TARDIS is waiting."

In college, I used to use Zipitone, saving my hands from crosshatching and dotting. Do they still make that stuff? You could tell what was under it when you applied pressure to make the little designs transfer over.

I remember Wendy Pini of ElfQuest fame used it a lot, to good effect.

I think they stopped making when the PC became popular. That and the line tapes.

Holy cross-hatching. Wow.

Loved the Narbonic borrowing. And the strip in general. Hee!

Good luck in the Campbells!

So, what's the mancoun doing there in the fourth panel? (I think he's wondering that too)
