Also, happy to say that I have two more pages left until this comic is complete! Omg, I started this comic March of last year and it's finally close to being finished.
Ooh, I wonder what that strange shadow is. Looks very familiar. Oh, I wonder who it could be. lol
Either way, it doesn't look very good for Ace right now. lol
Stay safe and I'll see you next week for the start of chapter three!
Slave The Day is interesting to me because it like... it really gives an insight to Billy's life and personality and the gang as a whole. Billy pledges his loyalty to the girls after they save his life. does this imply that perhaps Ace saved his life at some point? or does he stick around for a different reason. we also know that Billy can be resistant to authority when protecting those he has sworn his loyalty to, like when he scolds the professors ("If Buttercup doesn't wanna eat vegetables, she doesn't eat vegetables!") and that makes me wonder if perhaps he does a similar thing in jail, like if someone tries to get one of the gang to do something Billy might step in to hold up for him. AND THEN it's also really interesting to me that completely unprompted, Billy helps the girls with their nightly routine. he helps them brush their teeth and hair and then reads them to bed. NOW... that's INCREDIBLY interesting to me because like, you wouldn't expect someone who grew up without parents to know to do these kinds of things. UNLESS he remembers when his parents did those things for him at some point (I really doubt Ace or anyone else would) which, when you consider that Arturo remembers his father, that would imply that MAYBE the entire gang did have parents long enough for them to remember them, but they all ended up on the streets for one reason or another. Arturo's dad went to jail, and maybe the other parents could have done the same or maybe even died or maybe the guys just ran away
AND THEN LIKE when Billy's reading to them it's kind of a medley of different fairy tales, he's not actually reading the book, just smashing together things he remembers. which. again implies someone told him those stories a long time ago
and another thing- these shots reminded me of each other. I wonder if Billy ever has the guys sit in his lap like this
Some drawings & concepts I had for my own PPG reboot.
The girls would've been about 14 or 15, Buttercup's crush/relationship with Ace would be a recurring thing for one season & would culminate in a bittersweet breakup, & Snake would be a trans boy.
