Caffeine Poisoning Runs in the Skywalker Family

 

That hesitation is always bad news. Coincidentally, I really like the way the cake turned out in this panel. I couldn't get it colored in in most of the other strips. The flames and the candles were too small or the plate came out weird. But this depiction is perfect.


Nope! (And by the way, Anne may literally be pleading the Fifth, legally, here. Ava is a law enforcement officer and Anne could easily have slipped illegal substances into that cake. It's happened before. Which is why Ava tests all of Anne's cooking for poison before deciding not to eat it for totally different reasons now.)


Ten pounds of baker's chocolate is exactly the dose it would take to kill an average sized adult human via caffeine overdose. Ava's a bit bigger than average, but not enough so to save her.

 . . . 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
