Making of "Warpath BONUS"
Added 2023-08-16 15:56:28 +0000 UTCI went though quite a few ideas for this bonus panel! Something about the idea of a mug being the only thing standing in the way of total destruction was funny to me. I had Joel and Vincent discussing it in the foreground with Cooper about to leap on Fran in the background, but I didn't like how dumb Joel was coming off, not realizing that Cooper can't read. I changed it to Vincent being the one that didn't think of it, but had to move them off camera to make room for all the text. It still wasn't quite doing it for me though, so I went back to brainstorming.
J sometimes attempts to explain my monthly mood swings to the kids by saying I'm a bit like a werewolf, which makes me laugh! Werewolves are a bit of a tricky subject in The Litterverse, so I thought about how Joel might explain it. I came up with the line "Sometimes mommies have too many mommies inside them and some of them are scary!" to which Vincent could liken the scary mommies to Egyptian mummies. I took the joke to J and he thought I was saying Egyptian mummies have too many people in them, rather than just Egyptian mummies are scary. It was a very confusing line haha! He said too many people inside sounds more like a demonic possession and wrote me the demon bonus panel. I still liked the mummy one though because I feel like that's closer to what kids would say. I changed the first line so it would work better, but then I couldn't decide which I liked more! I was about to come and ask you guys which you preferred, but then I realized as it's only you seeing them now, I might as well give you both! :)
