I am beyond curious to discover how Alan got by ‘security’, and ended up in her bedroom closet, no less. Does he bake the brownies, possibly?
Or are the guards simply incompetent?
Probably came in the window above her desk. Maybe while the guard(s) were enjoying the brownies.
He was probably protected by a silver spoon.
You have no idea how hard it was for me to not add that in the first place.
I approve of more protagonists beig plus size ladies.
She shares pot brownies with her bodyguard? That’s pretty awesome.
One way to get closer to your employees, right?
How did I not notice that was what he meant?
Wait, is this avatar a picture of that guy?
Looks like an interesting side story, I hope it ties together sooner than later. Especially since we had a cliff hanger with two main characters, so far.
I liked the interplay between the characters and you get a good bit of info on all of them from it, so well done.
Although the codename for her is cute and funny, it feels a bit played out. Especially since the FBI agent in Lilo and Stitch was Bubbles, it made me think that the agent with her was Bubbles too. I think something cute or a nickname her dad has for her would have given more jokes and amusing moments in the future. Like kumquat or muffin. Or with more history, a funny story, behind it.
Except in this case, “Bubbles” isn’t ironic, since Andie actually IS bubbly!
That is good, I can’t wait to see her bubblyness perculate up
From what I understand from listening to John on twitter, the plots don’t really intertwine.
It’s more that he has multiple parallel plotlines that only sorta wander near each other, and just cycles through them at 2 weeks per group.
Of course, now Mr. Troutman will probably raise his voice to clarify on this too, but that’s the nice part of having a writer who actually pays attention to his comments section.
I suppose clarification might be in order. I’ll knock out an “About The Comic…” page eventually. Basically, yeah, there’s four or five stories occuring almost simultaneously, and I switch between them every couple weeks. They’re not ENTIRELY parallel, because eventually, the characters WILL meet. But it could take a while.
My, you ARE a gracious host. I look forward to reading more.
hmm, that sounds interesting, you don’t see that happen very often.
I don’t think I could do that in my own writing, I would be too afraid that it would become disjointed, or only certain plotlines would keep interest of the readers. You are definetly braver than me
It definetly sounds like a challenge and I look forward to seeing how you do it and how it will all come together. I can only imagine that when they do tie together it will be either very fun or rather epic.
Andie! it has been such a long time since I have seen you.
and now how long until the phrase “thunder thighs” is uttered…
Coke and Mini-Wheats. Only the finest of dinners will do for an individual who commands such fine doMESStic help.
