Elephant Town Chapter 8 (pages 23-24)

Remember when your first friends started getting married, and how bonkers crazy it seemed at the time? I was thinking a lot about that when I started thinking about Berto & Meighan.
Thanks for your patience with these two pages! I can't tell you how nice it was to go straight to bed after the long drive home from the beach last night, instead of hustling to finish coloring late into the night. I don't miss that about the GWS schedule!
To show my thanks, here is Luke's 40th birthday cake from last week, which I hurried together while he was napping on Friday.


Minecraft sure is ugly but, bless it, it's easy to draw! (He plays Minecraft Steve in Smash. But also, yes, he's an eternal 12-year-old.)

Thank you!! Especially because I felt like I kinda phoned in the somewhat-empty basement vibe!!
Danielle Corsetto
THANK YOU!! That's how I wrote it at first, but I made a quick search to make sure I was right, found the spelling "fiancé," and whited out the extra "e." I obviously didn't read far enough in!
Oh I knew the Portal reference, it just didn't seem related. :)
Danielle Corsetto
Funfetti, because in addition to being 12, Luke is also 5. ;)
Danielle Corsetto
THANK YOU and I'm happy to take any odd compliment as long as it's sincere. ;)
Danielle Corsetto
Hah! True.

Keen eye! It was an extra piece I made, just in case I needed to fill some space. I forgot that the cake wasn't THAT big! As for Douglas' reply: video game joke. Someone had to say it, he took over the position. ;)

Awesome job on the cake and happy belated birthday to Luke! Possibly the worst MC ever, amirite? Berto remains, however, the sweetest man ever and Meighan's face radiates joy. You really nailed their vibe together. And Miranda slips back into the noisy world of one. :-(
That is... unrelated to my question?
Quite right!
I feel like that announcement yanked Miranda back into her secluded world, just when she was starting to feel cozy emerging from it! :/ As always I'm so impressed by the environments you create so fully formed!

I think fiancée needs an extra "e" on the end, since it's referring to someone who identifies as a woman.

A lot of my friends got married all in a row, without planning to. I think I attended three weddings one summer and four the next? It was wild!
Dean Reilly
What type of cake was it?

My entry in this year’s “oddest sincere compliment” competition: that choice of font for the “clap”s is perfect. It’s what they’d use on a very cool album cover.

From here on out, just put 12 on his cakes! He'll forget he's getting older and you won't have to make new numbers every year. 😁
Douglas Appelt
The cake is lie. That's why she disguised it as a TNT box. ;p

Boy what a way to break the mood. :(
Okay it's really not important, but I'm stuck on it... The brown single square for the cake, where is it on the cake??
