It took over a year, this part of Daisy’s long weekend is FINALLY complete!
Unfortunately I can’t say if further updates will be anything approaching regular, as my desire to draw has taken some massive hits over the past few years. At the very least, I don’t want to start the next part until I know for sure that I’ll be able to finish it without anything else getting in the way.
Alice has little – if any – tolerance for her sister Lily’s nonsense…
Now that Daisy’s issues have been aired, we can get to the fun stuff!
Lily is D-U-N.
One could argue that leaving Mercy in charge is actually more irresponsible than leaving Lily on her own…
The good news for Daisy, is her mom is likely going to be out of commission for a while.
And we’re back! And also finally starting to see hints of just how loopy Daisy’s mom can be!
Sooner or later I need to do a chapter that flashes back to Aimee getting hired at the diner, or even just a chapter that shows how bad her anxiety can be. So far I’ve done more telling than showing, on that front. In the meantime, her safe-space won’t feel so safe, between Mercy’s 180 and Mary just casually claiming to be a werewolf…
The good news is, Daisy’s new assistant manager isn’t Rose, as she feared! I’m not sure she’d find this to be much better, though.
Something I can’t quite convey on the page – the way I hear the characters in my head, is Lily has song-bird like inflection to her voice, like Disney’s Snow White, or the good witch from The Wizard of Oz. She’s chipper nearly all the time. Mercy, on the other hand, sounds much more like Maleficent. Her words just ooze bitterness and spite. But on this page? Mercy’s doing an impression of her sister (Lily) that’s so spot-on, for people who know her I doubt it could be anything other than unsettling.
Daisy seriously doesn’t know how to take a day off. She believes the diner might burn down without her there, or that Candice might foreclose on it.
Also Daisy & Rose both live with their parents. Daisy can afford her loan payments or a decent apartment, but not both. Rose is lazy, irresponsible, and in general bad with money.
