April Showers


This comic kinda stands alone. It became a TSA tradition about 365 days later. . . seriously. I built on it in April 2020. Anne is standing next to a sealed glass case full of "May flowers" as she recites the poem. . . I'll leave the punchline out.

By the way, Anne's 19th birthday happened on April 12, 2019. This brought with it the rather annoying twist that Anne turned 20 on April 12, 2020.

This blog, Teenage Sith Apprentice, started on April 13, 2020.

Nice one, me. As soon as TSA started, Anne was no longer a teenager. So now I joke that the "teenage" bit now refers to Anne's apprentice (and Ava's sister), Esther. (She comes in later.)

 . . . sorry about how long getting this back up took, Mom and "Strangelet." And maybe Maren. And, to make up for that pointless line of pictures, here's a real comic. Only had time to color the first one, sorry.

Overly Realistic Dad Jokes

 Again. . . sorry about missing days. If anyone's even reading this. (Anyone who is, please signal as such in the comments section. . . I don't expect to see any such signals for another couple of decades.) The prerequisite moping out of the way, let's get to the funny stuff. "But it's like Potions! No, it's worse than Potions!" "Good, good. . . let your hate fuel you." In cold or damp weather, Anne has bones that still won't let her forget it.

Introducing Rachel! And Other Comics

Image
This is the first appearance of Rachel Bucket (no, I'm not kidding) in TSA. She was my attempt to write a Christian character, although she was originally from a failed post apocalyptic (also not kidding). It never even got a word written down, and that was mostly what channeled into her character as a TSA cast member. The original line was, "NEVER say that to a Christian!!!" Like Ava's intro comic, it's a religious gag and I wrote a second (third?) copy because I crammed a ton of words into the third panel and then doubted they were legible. Here it is. . . Can you read that one better? I hope so. It's about like any other comic I drew after I got bigger panels. (Thank goodness. I can't write that tiny anymore.) Unlike Ava's intro, this is something I do. Not in front of other people, but, if you are for some reason  into reading books of conspiracy theories about how the world is going to end next Wednesday, it is really good for you
