Piece of Cake
I never really found a place to fit in the overall narrative to talk about how Mr and Mrs Delaire met, but this is some supplemental information that I've had in my head for a while now.
For those wondering, Shermer, Illinois is not a real place. It's a fictional suburb from the John Hughes movies that's usually an analog for Wilmette, Skokie, or Highland Park. Angela comes from an upper middle class background with a father who runs a successful refrigeration business. Ted is fro...

I was hesitant to do such a major retcon, but I changed Madeline's birthday from mid April to late September. I'll be changing it in the Webtoon version of the "Family Assignments" comic, but chances are, people will still catch the inconsistency elsewhere. Oh well!

I wasn't really happy with the word balloon placement on this one when scrolling through it vertically, so I adjusted it a bit to make it read a little better hopefully!
As I continue to rework and refine her design, I run into having too many options that I like. I just want some of your feedback on which hair style you like best for her here! I want some democracy!

Something a little different than a comic this month! I felt like making a proper sheet for how the Nandroids are structured.
Obviously I'm no expert on robotics, and know very little about how their built. I felt like trying to approach these robots from a realistic and logical standpoint, would open up a lot of unnecessary questions into the practicality of how they work. So I decided just to be tongue-in-cheek with it for now!
I might make more of these in the futur...

I wasn’t sure how people would react to this one, showing some of Emmy’s learned prejudices. But it’s one I had planned from the beginning and I think it’s an important part of her story.

What folly for me to attempt to draw a comic this week that prominently features cars.
Here we have a first look at Beacon City, the bustling metropolis of which Hawthorne Grove is a suburb. I took a lot from 70s-80s New York as a reference point, but cleaner. Hopefully the comic itself should be done after this weekend. Thank you as always for your patience as I work on these over-ambitious panels haha!

Hope you're all having a safe and fun holiday season! We haven't gotten any snow yet this month here in Illinois! Last year it started snowing immediately after Halloween and just didn't stop! If it's going to be 20 degrees and we're stuck at home we might as well get some snow, better than the "wintery mix" at least.

I like drawing extras but boy is it a lot of work! Sorry for the wait on this one. As you all know, December is a crazy busy month for so many of us. I'll have more content to post here in the coming weeks to make up for the quietness. Hope you're all staying safe and warm this winter!

I apologize that this one is a little late. Drawing lots of extras is always a big task, but I hope you enjoy!
In this one, Mrs Delaire hosts a fundraiser for her non-profit at their home.

I'm a bit of a map geek, so I made a Google maps style map of Emmy's neighborhood! The streets are named after flowers and trees. Hopefully the image quality is good enough to where you can see which family house is where!
I think of Hawthorn Grove as a walled-in, green oasis in the concrete jungle of Beacon City. It's mostly old money, comparable to areas like the Gold Coast in Queens, Winnetka, IL, Georgetown DC, and even Pacific Heights in San Francisco!

I wish you all a happy and safe Halloween! I know this year has many festivities altered or outright canceled, but I hope you all can celebrate in your own safe and enjoyable ways!
Thank you for your continued support, and stay spooky!
