Toxic Epilogue

…Daisy should consider herself lucky that she only needs to deal with Candice once a month. Her aunt Alice has to deal with her every day of the week!  Lucky for her, Candy doesn’t know the connection between the two.

Toxic Finale

That’s it for this chapter! Although there is more to tell…

To keep things simple, I have a couple of images planned where the girls ask their parents for a few more details. Candice has a more involved follow-up which could be its own wordy chapter, spread over several pages… but I’m burned out on comics at the moment, and don’t want to draw it. Not to mention, the room it would take place in, the atmosphere… I won’t be able to draw and render it the way I’m picturing it in my head, it’d be so much easier to describe…  so that’s what I might do – rather than illustrating it, I may treat it as a chapter of a novel.

Toxic Candy pg 8

Normally Mercy might like to stick around and gloat, but it’s only a matter of time before the girls start asking her questions she doesn’t want to have deal with…

Twisting the knife

…I’m tempted to do a follow-up where Violet suggests that “Targaryen” would’ve been better than “show poodle”, but 1.) Mercy might not get the reference, 2.) Vi shouldn’t be watching Game of Thrones, and 3.) I have too many follow-ups planned as it is…

Toxic Candy pg 6

Picking up where we left off at page 4, Mercy may just strangle Candice before the day is done…

Things that didn’t make the final cut –

  • Daisy’s “they’re called breasts” line used to go further – “surely you’re rich enough to buy yourself a pair!”. That bit was cut simply because threw off the flow of Candice’s mud-slinging.
  • Right up until publication, Mercy had a line or two in the last panel. It went through several rewrites, which all amounted to “this means war”. In the end, having her say nothing made more sense.

EXPOSITION!!

Hey, what’ve Rose & Violet been up to, while Daisy & Candice have been sniping at each other?  Let’s check in on them!

Killing with Cuteness

As originally planned, the ending of “The Dark Corner” wouldn’t have been the end at all. This would have been its next page. Unfortunately, by that point I was in no mood to continue.
