For Mommy

(NOTE: THIS PAGE IN NO WAY REFLECTS THE ARTIST'S ACTUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS MOMMY. SO THERE)

…I'm a real jerk. It would have been SO much better to have a nice, sweet, ACTUAL Mother's Day page where Bridget and Alphonse do something nice for Tabitha, BUT NO. I had to do drudge up this bit of unpleasantness to inflict on Layla again. Yeesh.

On a more serious note, this DOES touch on something that's been bothering me lately. The more I think about it, the less I like how quickly Layla got over having the company taken away and being kicked out of her hope. Oh sure, she's been crank about it ever since, but in those early pages she shakes it off FAST. At the time, I thought it was best to keep things light and funny and tried to downplay the angst, but I think I over did it. Looking back now, it seems really out of character for Layla to just leap into coning Ichabod so soon (*GASP* A webcomic where the early pages aren't quite right? Now I've seen EVERYTHING!)

Well, anyway, Happy Mother's Day! Tune in again Tuesday for your next regularly scheduled page!
