Ooo-kay… So here's a subject that's not easy to portray and not come off as a jerk– abuse. I was having some second thoughts about this page but I sort of need it for the direction I want the story to go. Also, it was actually mentioned in an earlier comic that Madeline had abusive parents and this being Madeline's backstory it would seem weird to me if it didn't come up.

replies:
@usedbooks: That's an angle I hadn't really considered–thanks! I don't recall seeing Kylie in your comic, has she actually appeared yet?
@Peipei: Yeah, I'd like to have Dee's jacket!
@theBSDude: Thanks man!
@Trevor: The reason why I suggest Quimby's right off is because they're in Chicago. there's other places to ask about consignment as well but I think that Quimby's is a great place to start out.
@oldguy: Thanks a lot, dude!
@magickmaker: They do sort of, don't they?
@Zephryion: Thanks!
@khard12: Yeah, in St. Loraine there are no trees. Whether Dee thinks so or not maybe Madeline should leave St. Loraine just to see a real tree.
@amanda: There's a few clock towers in my town, my favorite one's the tower at Union Station. None of them really look much like the one I drew here though.
@Steely Gaze: I'll admit that until now we'd really known very little about both Madeline and Dee. So I thought it would be good to explore both characters a little further.
I like drawing the city and getting into its character as well. The way I imagined it St. Loraine might have been fairly nice once but things went wrong somewhere.
@darkwaterfey: Huge compliment coming from you!
