.... Huh. Yeah, this did come out dark. It's like.... until I finally posted this whole storyline, I didn't realize just how grim it really was. At least this is the low-point, so to speak. After this page things get..... brighter.
In the vein of Aurora's insecurities mirroring my own, I put a lot of my self-worth in going to college and feel like I'd be a worthless pile of garbage if I dropped out. I once failed a biology test and then the next night had a dream my Mom threw me out of the house.
Funny thing about that letter- I wrote the script for this page at a time when Martin wasn't here, and I really wanted his opinion on it. I wanted that letter to really look like something an art school would send someone. Another friend of mine was on AIM so I asked if he'd look at the letter.
He read it and then said that the people at that school were clearly jerks and I shouldn't feel bad being rejected. I guess that answered my question.
wow...I almost wish i could jump in there and give her a hug. no one should ever have to feel that way. Still for the comic this is a rather dark turn, and one you wouldn't expect to see in a happy go lucky kids comic for the most part. so very nice that you guys are branching out. can't wait for the next page
Nothing much to say on this one, but am pretty happy with it. Mostly Adam's work to thank for that, he did a great job with this one.
