For those wondering, this type of strip is not going to be a “regular” thing. This strip was created because the next strip was REALLY confusing without it when we ran it by our trial group. We’re trying to emphasize a point on how reality can affect stories. As time passes stories change, and those changes can affect our world in very strange ways. You’ll be meeting at least 3 new main characters in this chapter. Including a very dysfunctional father/daughter duo!
I have to say that Jade sure does know how to turn a script into a story! She made this entire strip turn out better than I could have envisioned.
I would just like to say, that I really like the drawing style and the hands around the phone looks really great along with the papers flying about. :D
But what is that in the drawer she’s pulling open? A mirror and a lipstick?
It’s a mirror and a small vial with something a little exciting in it! Jade studied hands for hours before doing this strip. In fact she had me hold my cell phone to my ear for 5 minutes while she sketched this strip.
To add to TB’s explanation, I’ll included that the mythos that mirrors are kinds of portals — or at least doors — and that means they can link planes of existence. I envision the broken magic mirror being linked to any and all mirrors, including ones in reality. It is a theme used most famously in “Through The Looking Glass” but is common in a lot of period tales. The title of this strip, “A Catalyst”, is implying that something in reality here is affecting or going to affect something else later;)
Maloonster> As for the stuff in the vial… You’ll see next strip! The man in this strip doesn’t use the mirror to look at himself; but as primped as his hair looks, maybe he does at other times. And, yes, the hand looks pretty good. Thanks TB!

Hi and welcome, AI! Glad you like it so far:)

I love the cell phone head smack.
that’s still confusing?
No matter what I try, this panel isn’t coming up for me. :(
Sorry, Beed! Weirdness in Comicpress. All fixed now.
