Description Foreword: So I took folks advice and I concluded that I was going to upload them a page-at-a-time every day (Hey! You'll have something to read while you wait for "How It Ends" pages!).

It was tough doing this in just plain black and white and not adding anything else...it looks empty to me but other folks say it looks fine. Anyway enjoy my small 24-paged comic...Step-Monster!

Artist Commentary: For such a cute story I kinda concocted a depressing situation to open with. An alcoholic mom and a father in jail leaves this girl and her brother in the hands of child services. But don't worry, it gets better. And funnier. Haha I'm terrible.

While working on this entire comic I was listening to The GO! Team's "Get It Together" on loop. Thus I think of it as it's theme.

Minor point: They're is a contraction of "they are", their means "belonging to them".

I'm agreeing with the no tones thing as well, it's kind of alot to take in visually, I think this has a nice balance and is easy on the eyes.

It looks crisp and nice without the tones. Interested to see how this story evolves.

Yeah everyone's digging it. I might not use tones in part II of how it ends...we'll see.
