Doomdreg Update and Bad Piloting

 I really have a hard time drawing beds. The only way you can really tell Ava and Rachel are in bed trying to sleep (over Doomdreg? Good luck) is the little "2 AM" banner in Panel One.


Credit to my brother "Mark" for this one. I wanted to skew the joke away from it being about Anne being stupid - my brother's comics tend to be skewed that way, as do a lot of mine, and it's one of my pet peeves. The point of the Anne character is that she's quite clever! Stop treating her like a moron! 

That last bit is in the third person and clearly directed at my brother, but it's aimed at my past self, too.

Anyway, I wanted to move the joke towards joking about how annoyingly complex some of the simplest of technology is getting, and away from calling Anne a moron, hence the first panel.

 Okay, this one I didn't have to skew in any direction. This is easily believable of Anne. (No hand eye coordination. Just none.)

Anne, do you always listen to the words spilling out of your mouth, or do you just say whatever when you're upset? Because the answer to that question is "no, and I never had any." And you know it.

Booting Back Up

 . . . 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
