Miscellaneous Musings

I had a whole bunch of one-off gag strips that didn't really relate to one another at all. So here they are:


 I got this from a Calvin comic - appropriate, since Calvin is sort of TSA's "mother strip." 

No comment on the other three, really.

Anne Palpatine

Anne is the main character of the Teenage Sith Apprentice world, despite not being a teenager anymore (she turned twenty this year, in the backlog of comics, I am in December 2019, when she was still 19). I'll get around to putting a picture up her soon, so everybody can tell which character I'm talking about. . . oh wait. . . found one. There, that's Anne. As she appears in a soon to be posted comic, although that's really how I draw her anytime she doesn't have a line. Anne is the Emperor Palpatine's daughter and technically an only child, although there's this kind of weird running joke in her family where her father constantly references a son whose existence he and Emily Jenner Palpatine (Anne's mom) are very ambiguous about. Anne has been hearing about him for 20 years and still doesn't know if he really ever existed, much less wether he's still alive today or where he is. Anne is about 20 years old; her birthday is April 12, 2000. ...

"Good, good. . . let your hate fuel you." In cold or damp weather, Anne has bones that still won't let her forget it.

Ava Takes Over

Image
As Ava's character stabilized and conquered her past as Anne's crony, she started to become my main character. That was a natural extension of what she already was - my favorite character! But its was a problem. Normally I just alter the story to fit the new "queen bee" when the main charactership shifts (and it often does, my original main character often turns out to be made of cardboard while a minor member of the supporting cast turns out to be full of juicy conflict). Here I arbitrarily decided not to. Still not sure why. . . I basically rationalized it as "It's named Teenage Sith Apprentice, not Twentysomething Jedi Apprentice!" (When this was written, Ava was actually 19. . . oops.) Plus, I was messing up both girls' characters. Look at my earlier comics. . . they're often based on Anne being clever, albeit in ways that annoy the living daylights out of most other people. My more recent comics are mostly based on Anne's ...
