I was busy on Wednesday, so my weekly update is Saturday this time. This past week was pretty exciting, as I had an interview in Boston for an artist position (cross your fingers for me). I also took my first three day break from the comic since I started at the New Year, but I quickly got back on a roll and have produced two pages in the past two days.
The most recent installment (currently available at the website, click image above to go there, or will be posted tomorrow at Drunk Duck) closes the “first day at school” scene in which Maggie meets her new classmates.
Notes:
The usage of “queer” means strange in this age and context, nothing like the typical modern usage. Don’t get offended by it! Also, open racism was the norm and will appear more than once in the story. While the graphic novel will overall be fairly tame, I intend to be as true to the setting as possible, which might not be exactly PC all the time. I would say it is meant for no younger than the teenage age group.
