page 1272 – these comics are really making me hungry
Okay, before we go any further: MOTHER’S DAY COMIC I FORGOT TO TELL PEOPLE TO CHECK BACK FOR! Yes, despite spending a whole paragraph last week complaining about all the stuff I had to get done (and why there wouldn’t be a new TWC Incentive to make room for it), I never actually specifically said “Oh, and be sure to come back on Sunday to see an extra holiday comic!” I really gotta get better about that stuff.
Or maybe I was just distracted by thinking about this page, because the image of Layla being brought to tears over a really good steak is one of those weird little character beats I’ve had in my brain for YEARS but only just now found an excuse to actually work into a comic. You’d be shocked just how many of those kinds of things are still rattling around in my head even after all this time.
Well, there may not be an extra holiday comic in the works, but I DO have two more Conventional Wisdom comics that really need to get done this week so that I can fully focus on getting ready for Animazement NEXT week. Thus, it’s kind of unlikely that there’ll be a fresh TWC Incentive again. I dunno, if I can knock enough stuff out over the next two days, MAYBE the timing will work out. It all depends on the other stuff. So stay tuned!
Enjoy your steak quickly Layla, before Avi somehow manages to ruin it in another attempt to make himself the center of attention. An act which would probably make pestering Stilez a safer option.
To Layla, eating that steak too quickly would be a travesty. As would eating it too slowly, thus allowing it to become too cool. It MUST be eaten at the appropriate speed, to ensure that it’s delights last as long as possible while keeping it’s quality at the highest reasonable level.
Layla probably has an entire steak-eating ritual, but I don’t think I’m qualified to write out what it is.
This is an accurate depiction of me when I was finally able to have medium-rare steak after being pregnant with our daughter. Tears and all, lol!
