Page 19 – Hello Sunshine
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but Jane seems different somehow. I bet it’s the new clothes.
Seriously, what the Hett, Jane?!
Here’s the first chicken scratched thumbnails for this page.
Blocking out the dialog, expressions and panels.
EDIT: As an aside, I really wanted to share that Anna, the maid, is a trans woman. But, I couldn’t find a way to do the subject justice that didn’t derail the main story so it never gets mentioned. Anything that wasn’t from Jane’s point of view, the “I” in the title, got cut. Long story short, Anna is like an aunt so Jane’s behavior here has crossed a line. There will be consequences.
Original Script
CAPTION One week later The maid is opening curtains and letting in the light. Jane comes in the front door looking exhausted and disheveled, wearing a hooded cloak.
MAID My, you are out early this morning. Did you witness the sun rise? JANE Did I speak to you? MAID No, I only… JANE Throws the cloak at her and stomps off. Then only speak when you’re spoken to. Servants these days lack discipline. Maid looks shocked, about to cry.
If she continues in this attitude, you may well be forced to change the name of the comic to something far less flattering to exemplify her behavior.
Stay tuned for the sequel, “You’re Grounded, Mummy”.
Who-I mean what could possibly have possessed Jane to behave in such a ghos-I mean, ghastly manner? She’s not acting like herself at all.
Perhaps she’s just tired from fighting crime. Or delivering a basket of goodies to Grandmother’s house.
I can understand a former mummy getting wrapped up in her work, but there’s a tomb and a place for everything.
Either way, something is very wrong.
I don’t understand what you’re insinuating? Teenagers love getting up before dawn to watch the sun rise. Perfectly normal behavior here. Nothing suspicious at all.
As far as I know teenagers prefer to go sleep AFTER sunrise rather than geting up BEFORE.
Is she possessed by some external influence? Is she an impostor? Or is she simply being a teenager?
It could be her twin sister who was lost at sea but really turns out to be an animatronic replicate who is exposed when her other twin (triplets) shows up to announce her engagement to a merman.
Yeesh. Guess she’s taking the school thing pretty hard. Wonder what she’s been doing the last week. Staying around the house may have driven her a bit stir crazy.
Still, no excuse for behaviour like that.
I’m sure she’s been trying to keep her grades up. That would make me grumpy. Perhaps not THAT rude though. We’just have to wait and find out what’s really going on.
I didn’t know she can have that kind of behavior…
It’s not her normal behavior, that’s for sure.
I enjoy seeing the creative process that goes into the making of the comic. Also on the side note the maid’s final expression broke my heart </3. Is Jane losing her soul? D:
Jane is a goober, too.
