I think I mentioned this on Patreon, but some earlier ideas of this comic had Hugh’s uncanny youthfulness be a side-effect of being possessed, but I ended up scrapping that idea, so now I guess that’s just kinda how he is.
this hits soo close to home! way back when my parents first met, he thought it was a good idea to swing by her place the next day, ask if she wanted to go to the movies or whatever – and ended up right in the middle of her fathers 50 birthday party, with dozens of relatives….all assuming that mom had invited him, and that this was a way to introduce him to the family. so they all grilled him like mad about his ‘intentions’ and plans for life, assuming they were all but engaged already.
later on, my mom always said that he didn´t run but soldiered through it (or murdered her) was half the reason she married him ;-)
Hahah! That’s a really funny story. Glad to hear your family didn’t scare him away entirely X’D
Dad: My daughter tells me you’re a real demon…
Hugh: What! (slams fist on table)
Dad: … in the sack.
Hugh: Also unacceptable! (slams fist on table again) I stand by what I said!
I had to look up what that meant wow I’m twelve
Re: alt-text
I think you do a good job of picking where you drop your backgrounds. You set the scene in the wide view where readers are picking up the environment and mood, and then the others can get away with it cause they put the focus on the characters and individual responses.
Awwww, thank you :) I try to get the important establishing shots down at least, but I am always pushing myself to improve and wish I had time/energy to put in more detail and make things look better. But I’m glad to hear reassurance that what I’m doing is still effective :D Thank you!
