Hester: Really, mom?
Exploring the hotel is always an option--I did that a lot with my sister and dad. We rated the hotels on how nice the gymns/pool areas were; indoor pools (and hot tubs) were a bonus! We might have also abused some of the gym equipment in a hotel as we goofed off...
I have a dentist appointment today and had a dream about cavities last night. Thanks A LOT, Over Active Imagination...

I can feel the childhood frustration with adults returning with every page.

Aw poor Hester. She really got herself all frufrued up. I wonder what is about to go down. RUN TRENTON!!!!
I love Hester's expression in the second panel.
Ouch! Teeth dreams are the worst.

That...is some really good advice!! lol I really do enjoy drawing Hester's frustrated faces.
Tell me about it!

Wow mummy looks nice, she cleans up well this one does. And wow, this trip isn't turning out to be as fun as Hester thought it would be, but hey at least she hasn't been confined to the room but been given free rein to roam, she could tail mummy

If Momma knows one thing, it's how to dress up (and disappoint apparently LOL)! Hester might have to go out and buy some binoculars and play PI with Stubbins as her trusty sidekick...

Two great skills to possess lol. Somehow I expect Stubbins to be an awful sidekick in stealth operations...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, he's more of the Yappy-Mutt-Blows-Your-Cover variety than the classic Bloodhound sidekick. He's based on the little dogs that always unnerve me, those annoying types that will start barking at you if you just look at him.

I view him as a terrier mutt thing lol, the kind that digs up gardens. I bet he'd in running over and beg for food if Mummy and New Beau were having a swanky meal.
Stubbins has his own agenda *beady black eyes glint with so many plans*

And leaves "presents" in the flower bed when he's done digging it up. xD
...While Hester dives into the bushes and acts like she's invisible.
Pigeon Hunting is definitely on the agenda.

WHOA! she got all dun' up! I just can't help but think a Maureen O'Hara/John Wayne moment is brewing. The ex all dressed up and stuff. LOL

Momma splurged on some fancy duds to wow her ex-hubby. She might also be hoping to look pretty enough to lull him into a false sense of security *DUN DUN DUNNNN*
I've never seen the actual movie that's from, but I saw the Carol Burnett parody lol

This isn't going to end well. hehe.
funny thing is that they played divorced couples in several different films... they just did so well together. I always enjoy watching them.

Which ones are your favorites? I'll add them to my list of "Movies I Need to Watch." 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, "McLintock" might be the best... but "Big Jake" is good as well, (that one's a lil' more serious.) The "quite man" is also very good, but that one has to do with them getting married. LOL
ouch, the Godfather... that's a rough one.

Thanks for the recommendations!
All of my college professors told us we should watch it because it's such an icon and it's on the AFI List (also I'm part Italian so I sort of feel obligated lol).

Oh come on mumsy.... You can't give Hester something exciting to do while you meet your special friend? I hope Hester doens't get into trouble being by herself, this place could be dangerous. Again I really love this pages flow. The poses and expressions are just wonderful!
Having bad teeth dreams before you go to the dentist is no joke! Having dreams about my teeth are some of the worst dreams to have.

lol She's just going to have to entertain herself! At least she has a little animal buddy to be bored with.
Thank you so much! I feel like I've been getting the hang of panel variation and flow within the last two chapters of the comic.
It didn't help that I saw an old Victorian exhibit on Saturday that talked about dental care back then and how sometimes the dentist would accidentally rip out part of the jawbone with the tooth!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well that is a plus. She could always throw the ball with her little dog!
I have noticed that! Your newest pages are really starting to look very dynamic. The composition of each panel really adds to the 3D feel of the page.
That is awful.... really awful. The medical stuff back then was such junk, the doctors didn't even know what they were doing. How could you rip out a piece of a patient's jaw bone????

Working on comics has been a great way for me to practice flow and visual storytelling.
Well if you saw the tools they had on display, it's no surprise that it happened!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, those tools are pretty bad. Pretty much torture tools!

We'll see if she can get in any fights while this is going on. I wonder if she'll find Trenton before he meets her mother.

Hopefully Amos doesn't show up at the hotel! He's not ready for Round Two! lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope. If he did, he'd hopefully avoid Hester.

He heard the word "walk" and is hoping Hester will follow through...
