We cut this chapter short because I ran out of ideas. There’s only so many ways to make jokes about, “hurr durr, parents, amirite?”
This chapter ends up being a little shorter than usual. We decided we really wanted to split up the focus on the parent-teacher conferences and what’s about to happen next.
Happy Octoberween, everybody!
This year I decided to include the comic in “Ink-Blot-tober.”
Instead of doing “Inktober” where artists challenge themselves to do one small and easy drawing every day of the month, I take part in absolutely tormenting myself by committing to entire complex multi-level digital illustrations multiple times per week. Everything is done in the old “Inkblot/Rubber Hose” cartoon style, and always with a sort of ragtime/creepy/spooky feel to match with both the feel of the old 1920s cartoons and the fact that it works with October being Halloween month.
Since I started doing this three years ago, I’ve been wanting to add Super Skooled into the mix and while I still haven’t achieved my dream of Ink-Blot-ifying an actual strip (Due to being close to the end of the chapter,) At least I can include you in the enjoyment of seeing rubber-hose Brad and Draco.
I suppose this doesn’t actually have the most Halloween-ish feel to it but Draco is dressed as a mad scientist and Brad is clearly wearing a costume, so… I’m counting it.
Is this strip punching down or up? You decide!
Two Brads? Now we’re in for it.
I am so sorry, everyone. I totally thought today was Thursday. I got this strip started on what I thought was Wednesday. Here I was about to post this for tomorrow and I’ve been a day behind this whole time… 😓
Apparently, it’s Knight Man’s day–err night off.
What time is it? IT’S GLOWING GREEN LASER TIME! THAT’S WHAT TIME IT IS!
Huh, a nighttime comic without Knight Man. Something must definitely be going on.
Uh oh, he’s back in the Shy-Borg costume. You know things must be getting serious.
I’ll admit. I am not going to miss those two.
How is writing a script with four characters in an automobile in every panel actually one of the easier strips I’ve written?
How is it drawing 4 characters in an automobile on every panel was actually one of the easier strips I’ve done?
Sometimes, you gotta make do with what’s in front of you. Eh, Taylor?
I don’t know how he could see through it. Those robo-parents look perfectly realistic.
No, we have nothing against orphans. Why do you ask?
I feel like there’s a theme to this chapter…
