Hope in March

The times they might be trying, but Hope's doing her part & staying home. Her & her yeti slippers. And way more food than even she might be able to handle. 

Emphasis on "might" though, as you should never really count her out.

She's ready to go though. Chips, queso. Bag for when the bowl dries up. Water bottle under her arm to stay hydrated, hand sanitizer tucked away should she need it. Watch out, various streaming services, here she comes!

Thanks for being patient with me! I got the dialogue in there now. It's still flat without shading, but I'll come back to do that at some point later.  Originally, as I finished last month's I had immediately started following up with something a little St. Patrick's related & Hope partying a little too hard. But I figured, like a lot of other people's her plans got abruptly curtailed (& this would be the more responsible scenario). I might go back & still finish the other version as an alt down the line. But admittedly, it was easier to make her just a little bigger here. 

Lately, I've been spinning my wheels on writing. The conversation in Bellflower is something I want to cover a lot of ground & I keep hitting dead ends. I have another side story in the works too so I've been hoping to that when I need a break with the other, but it's taking a while.

Also, I mentioned on twitter, but I'll broach it here. Sorry if you find quarantine related content a bit upsetting. The previous PSA was meant mostly seriously, even if it does tip into big girl stuff. Another short comic I started & have in the works is also sort of along these same lines. My hope is it doesn't bother anybody too much so long as I keep it to mostly just being confined inside & not the exact reasons we all have to do that. The one upside that's helping my own anxiety through this is that everybody being kind of sedentary right now. And that lends itself to these sorts of scenarios. So if I'm dwelling, I'm sorry. But Bellflower won't be. The other inflation story I'm writing won't be. And more stuff down the line won't be.

At any rate, thank you for the continued support! More soon, I promise! Until then, please stay safe!
