#39: Doorknob Redux 


I still am not having time to give even this weekly strip the time it needs. I suspect that eventually I will start recovering more free time, but until then, we have rushed strips.

If you're scratching your head at this one, check out the very first Odder than Artifice ever.

Happily Ever After 
The thing about kids is, they have this weird ability to spark off and totally extinguish the worst stage fright of your life in one fell swoop. There you are, helping them into pyjamas, brushing teeth, tucking them into bed.

And there they are, turning over to look up at you with wide dinnerplate eyes you swear shouldn't exist outside of anime, asking with eager hope, "Tell me a story! I want a song!"

Snippets of songs you sang day in and day out as a child flash their lyrical knickers at you and hide behind the curtains of your mind. Stories that you knew by heart, reciting along with your own mother, teacher, librarian, offer you catchy little snippets but refuse to give it all up.

They want, and for the life of you nothing comes forth, and you have to stall for time. "What kind of story do you want?"

"Farm!" "Piggies!" "Garbage!" "The Moon!" "The one with the boat!"

And by some weird miracle, these tiny answers tease one of the recalcitrant tales out of hiding, and you can smile, and slide down on the side of the bed to rub the child's back, stroking hair and coaxing slower breathing.

"Once upon a time..."

#38: Saving Time 


If possible I had less time to do the comic than last week...ugh. Maybe I need to combine more words...

Joe co-wrote and directed the strip. He's probably going to be getting more involved since I have so little time lately.
