Description
What Toadette's adoptive mother has the Toad girl subjected to is called "rebirthing", which has killed/permanently disabled several children. Read about attachment therapy and its many victims here .It's quackery like this that makes one want to ask asinine parents: "Have you ever tried talking to your kids? It's much cheaper and a million times more therapeutic for everybody." Actually, it's amazing what talking to a troubled person for ten minutes can accomplish. Attachment therapy is really just child abuse. Expensive child abuse.

She's... WHAT??? That's fucked up... Making her climb out of a womb, last time I checked it's the mother, not the baby that does the work getting the baby out. Surely someone as educated as Clawdia knows what a quack therapy that is. Actually, I think my aunt did something like that with her cat, or so my mom told me anyway, but she didn't wrap the cat tight enough to suffocate him.
That's odd, that Jerry's watercolors are settling into layers in the glass instead of blending into a dirty colored mess. I guess Wolfgang has figured out what caused the ECT machine to go haywire... Why does Jerry have a bunch of paper puzzle pieces of Iggy on his wall? Does Clawdia have any reason for wearing Wolfgang's clothing?

The drawings on Jerry's wall warp into Iggy's face in order for the latter to narrate. That's hi-technical ^^ Well, Wolfgang's coat is longer and has the fancy gears on it, for no reason (since the comic is not at all a steampunk story). That must be how Dr. von Bachstein remins us he has a screw loose 
The problem with Clawdia, and a lot of private doctors these days is that it's not quackery if it's lucrative.
It's not that I don't trust doctors. But many of them, despite having diplomas that would tell you otherwise know nothing about the soul and prefer to break everything down to science, since it's more profitable and convenient to blame everything on an illness rather than getting all the facts and examining outside factors. For instance, a lot of the children subjected to atttachment therapy tend to come from abusive households and neglectful foster homes. Of course they have trust issues. A good doctor would be worried, or at least puzzled, at an abused child who didn't have problems trusting others. But no, instead, because it's the adults who pay the bill, the child is blamed and given bullshit diagnoses and basically, tortured with unnecessary medication and quack therapies. Not to generalize, but I have seen this a lot with the U.S. There's the attachment therapy, military school, therapeutic boarding schools and these counter-effective hellholes . Look at the Facebook comments. Look at them. (While you're at it, read a testimony from one of their victims. I posted a comment on that article.

I kind of want to write a story about the Koopalings going to some sort of psycho camp now. Does that sound better than my sister's idea, to write about the Koopa family living in a drug rehab after Bowser becomes an addict?
Camp is just traumatizing period. Especially for autistic kids, who need routine and don't like being sent on short notice to sleep at strange places, and yet they're a popular target for such places. When I was 13 I peeked a note that the Bitch... or was it a social worker? Anyway it was for the people at school, it was telling them something about my sister and I being sent to camp for a weekend, my sister and I had not even been informed. We threw a fit about it and the Bitch was not happy that we peeked and the social worker decided to just take us to visit the camp for the day to see if we liked it. We didn't - it was a camp for retards special needs kids, which basically lumps brilliant if socially awkward autistic kids with Down syndrome kids. Actually, in every special needs setting I've ever been in I was almost always the only one who wasn't retarded, the only one who was even autistic, my past living arrangement being the most recent example
I think the Jehovah's Witnesses foster parents I had when I was nine sent their own nine year old to something like one of those religion camps after he molested me. Those sound terribly boring. They try to "correct" gay kids, don't they? What next, camps to correct asexuals by administering corrective rape?!?! And all those people on Facebook... every single commenter is desperate to find a camp to send their kids for NORMAL adolescent unruliness... for ADHD! Boot camp doesn't sound much better than sending them to juvenile hall, actually, or Polinsky for that matter. Why not send their kids to science camp or space camp or music camp or some other kind of camp for some kind of activity they're interested in? Oh that's right, science camps are too damn selective, only rich scibrats with straight A's and high test scores need apply. If they opened them to more students, that would terrorize the monopoly they currently hold on science fair prizes and selective college admissions

You know, comic artists have a lot more skill than what they are credited with. They have to know how balance details, arrange panels, show the scenes in a way that drives the story, how much text to put in, how to convey emotions, and how to simplify features. It's really a lot more that what people give credit for and I think you do great with them. You know what to emphasize, what to show, how much detail is really needed and how to show the scenes. Some people think that it's easy, but if they do it wrong no one will want to read it, and/or it may not create as much of an impact as was intended. It's just like a story; one has to know how to utilize the elements in order to drive the story. And I have to say your comic making abilities are right up there with your story telling, and you know how much I love your stories 
off topic a bit, but I really like the perspective in the second panel, it gives a feeling as if the walls are closing in on them, creating a very intense mood quite appropriate for the scene 
and I'm curious, what is wolfie holding in the last panel?

I love having you as a no. 1 fan
One of the monkey-wrenched wires of his ECT machine. Iggy must have showed him their connection (apt, huh?) to Clawdia. And now he's pissed as can be.
Comics are often, quite unfairly, dismissed as something "for kids" when it's actually quite sophisticated art requiring patience, skill and discipline. All the details, not to mention getting the characters right every time. I did not make character sheets for any of my characters, and they have changed over the course of the comic. Which was kind of the point. Eleven months ago I sat right where I sit right now and worked my fingers to the bone on the very first panel. And now when I look at it it looks like a little kid did it. That's not fair, though. YPC is to date the longest project I've taken on. And I've seen it through, despite the setbacks I've endured in the meantime. "Professionally" and personally.

ah yes, i was thinking it had to do with clawdia's set up, but i just had to be sure
hmm that seems like it would be a never ending project. once you update the older ones there will be more that need updated and it would just keep on going and going until you're forced to quit and leave it be. personally i think it's a neat time line of sorts; as the characters grow mentally the art improves

I wouldn't mind working on the comic after its story is done. The originals wouldn't be deleted, but sta.shed, for the reasons you mention above. I would have to settle on a fixed number of panels and choose those most in need.

What a way to tie up loose ends, huh?

I guess so. I hope Rugeley and Napier are present. Its sorta like that ridiculous trial of my country's now infamous paralympian Oscar Pistorius. I share a birthday with the 
Anyways; I hope Clawdia is found guilty!
