This is a weird one for me. Maryweather has always been the voice of reason in the strip, but she’s been out of the loop for a WHILE and as a writer, I missed her a lot in Beanie-Quest III since I’ve always relied on her as the stable character. HERE she’s overreacting a little more than usual, as she’s been “off” for a while now. PLUS, this strip probably would work better is it happened BEFORE lil’ Dandy’s “attack” on Bernard, but the idea grew out of the gram post from that day, where I likend him to the Terminator.
Attentive readers will recognize Maryweather’s last two panels of dialouge as being completely lifted from the sci-fi classic.
One of my fellow comic creators, Lea hernandez’s house just burnt down, and a number of folks in the comics community are mobilizing to get her a little help… there’s a full report on the story HERE at NEWSARAMA with some back story on Lea and what she’s accomplished in comics, and how you can help. I’m going to be putting the current donation drive on hold for a few days, as this is WAY more important. Thanks.
