In Security by Bea R. for April 18, 2017

Five panels again.

Cunning use of negative space in panel #3.

Yet again, I have to marvel at the staging …

PANEL ONE: Medium shot, attic. Sam in the foreground as Sedine roots through storage boxes.

PANEL TWO: Extreme close-up, Sedine in “Pure Joy!” mode.

PANEL THREE: ‘TA-DAAA’ moment. Two-Shot, Sedine and [ Presumably ] Pink Flamingo! Yay!

PANEL FOUR: Small shot of Sam. Definition of ‘Skeptical.’

PANEL FIVE: Uncomfortably close two-shot, a horrified Sam and ‘Friend.’

“See~?! FLAMINGO~!! Coo-oo-ool~!!”

Hey Bea, do middle school and high school students in your comic wear traditional Japanese school uniforms? You know the black army-style jacket for boys and the sailor uniforms for girls? I can picture Sam and Sedine wearing those when they were in school, plus I can just imagine Michaela and Gabby wearing those when they’re old enough for middle school

Nothing says ‘I wanna be your best friend’ more than a huge freakish lawn ornament.

Mutant Lawn Flamingo.That’ll do it.

My God! Panel Three: This Sedine Woman has FANGS!!

That thing is an attic monster!

The bird’s got a good stare.

It says, “I wanna haunt your nightmares!”

April 19…. the flamingo again.
