Author commentary

Veronica: This is actually one of the scrapped pages from “Unfulfilled Fantasy”! When I originally finished the previous chapter, I wanted to end it in a lighthearted way so I switched the subject over to the day after the prom.. but Souppy thought it was a bit abrupt and should be redone.

I ultimately agreed, but I really really REALLY loved this page.. so it gave me the incentive to make it into its own separate chapter! In the end, I totally don’t regret the choice. I really love this sequence!

The expression David has in panel nine is meant to be similar to that onion-headed guy from Di Gi Charat, but I drew it from memory instead of picking up a reference!

I’m glad Flower Girl gets to shine in this, instead of staying an oblivious character in the backgrounds. Seems like they coulda gotten along! Perhaps David’s crush is not truly random..

Oliver: Abarenbou!!!
