This page was fun to write and draw. Although Jane just had a taste of the crap some people have to put up with, her upper-class mindset feels safer with a big man to protect her. A big man who happens to be a little scared of Lewis. Oh well.
Can’t wait for the next page?
Vote for I, Mummy to see a preview!
Original Script
MAN Ahhh! Ooo... A-a miracle! WOMAN W-who are you? LEWIS Nonchalantly leaning against a light pole. She’s one of us. JANE Holding her head in pain I-I am sorry. Are the youngsters safe? LEWIS Certainly. Each of their pinky toes has more sense than you. LEWIS Pokes the big man in the chest Where’s my coinage, John? MAN I told your boy I’d pay him as soon as I mended. LEWIS That’s not what he-- JANE Please, I don’t have time for this. Will you chaperon me to the Skells? LEWIS Well... that old hag does owe me for the job. JANE Pointing at John No, him. John?
clem’s dancing career is saved – if lewis doesn’t rebreak his leg.
Or, stab him in the shin. 😀
I am so happy that Allie appears yet again on this page, apparently giving Jane the stink-eye. Thank you.
If you go by number of panels, he may have more cameos than anyone else.
I note with some approval that you have restrained yourself from tormenting yourself. 🙂
You have managed to puzzle me as to Jane’s choice of champion. Lewis has a proven track record, while Clem failed in his last encounter. He’s also a tad more noticable whilst trying to skulk.
Oh, I just finished another crowd scene in an upcoming page. Oh. My. Gosh. But it is spectacular, so I guess it’s worth it. Lots of familiar faces in that mob, too.
Don’t count Lewis out just yet. Jane is simply being petty. 😀
Lewis is clever, witty, good with a shiv, and quite dependable in a rumble.
But Clem has that certain, ah je-ne-sais-quoi “Circus Strongman” air about him that’s so useful when confronting possibly recalcitrant adversaries.
Plus, Lewis has other responsibilities, which might deflect her attentions, while Clem seems a bit more focused. And now Clem owes Jane, big-time.
She bases who she trust on the awesomeness of their facial hair. Which didn’t turn out well for her when it came to a certain ghost.
