I like this page okay!! I really like how Wednesday turned out, and Mercer's expression in the third panel, and the bg of panel 2… BUT YES! I was glad to draw this page, a bit less complicated then the pages as of recent.
I don't know how that librarian showed up to magically shush them, so I'm making up this story as I type this, that she's a magical girl who is summoned to libraries wherever someone is speaking too loudly to use her shush power. She has a magical fish friend to guide her, and has this magic wand that will take lint out of cardigans. Oh my.
Just finished watching MirrorMask while doing this page. Have you guys seen it? My best friend bought me the DVD. I have a love/hate thing going with Neil Gaiman but this is a pretty good movie! It has a bit of what I don't like about Neil Gaiman, where he just throws these “quirky” ideas at the audience and is like WHOA LOOKITME! I'm a genius!! But it is still likable. Mostly because of the lead actress, Stephanie Leonides, oh my god, she is wonderful. More, please. One thing I really didn't like about it though was a bit of pointless moralising. OH NOES!! Smoking and making out with boys and wearing spiky necklaces it must be stopppppped. Sob.
Anyway, what.
Thanks for the continued support and comments!! I replied to the last page's comments just a bit ago, so. Just soes yah knows.
@hyena_hell: Tis a mystery!! :3
All right then. The magical librarian has your name, now! Ha ha.
@jonko: Kinda scary like that!! And you should see if it you can - pretty good!
@satoshi: The librarian is going to gityouuu.
@piggylove1940: Thanks!
@emily_elizabeth: Hope you don't have nightmares now!! And thanks! I thought the reintroduction here to Jady would be amusing.
@kmajor: Tis very true! Plus, he's kinda a know-it-all.
And yeah, the art direction and everything was fabulous!! This was his first movie, right, so it'll be great to see where he goes from this!
@amanda: Yeah! Worth a watch. I really enjoyed it!
@avie: Thanks! And yeah. My expectations weren't too high, so I wasn't disappointed, only pleasantly amused.
@fly_hue: Good eye!! Yeah, he is pagan. Or wants people to ask him if he is. XD
@bocaj: Thanks as always!
@llawliet11: Don't be scared! Ah.
@ulrika: EXACTLY!! That's what this magical librarian girl would excel at. One of her weapons could be library cards as ninja stars.
And I think Jady in drag wouldn't look too different from Jady in school uniform. XD
@shinuzero: I TOTALLY THOUGHT THIS TO MYSELF!! When drawing this page~
I've never seen the film you're talking about, unfortunately.
As for librarians, they usually have some hidden tallents, like appearing out of nowhere or instantly knowing what are you looking for.
ps. I just wonder how would Jady look in a drag ;]
Oh wow, it's nice to see I wasn't the only one who had mixed emotions with that movie. Everyone I know absolutely LOVES it, but me... I still felt there were places where it should have been developed better.
@ amanda: I wouldn't remove it at least. It's still likable and at least one good watch.
Is Mercer pagan? It looks like a pentacle on his necklace. Or is it something else completely? XD
Ha the last panel is amusing. Yeah I wasn't crazy about Mirrormask. I suppose I had enormous expectations for it that ended up being slashed. It felt too redundant.
I wanna read about the magical librarian and her fish friend. Sounds NEATO. Wednesday's sleeves are awesome. I think Mercer's problem is that he's in high school. High schooler's are just naturally full of hate. Hang in there, dude. College kids'll be nicer to you. Probably.
I liked MirrorMask okay when I first saw it, but was a little disappointed. I think I was expecting too much or something. The story wasn't really that exciting. It was full of Dave McKean awesomeness though, and I did like the lead actress. I'd like to watch that movie again sometime, really.
Huh. Wonder what kind of plan they're hatching! :)
That's not a librarian- that's *me*. I am all the time telling kids to shut up in the library- despite not being a student, or working on anything important. It's just the principal of it.

MirrorMask is in my Netflix queue, actually. I think I like his books more than I like his movies, but Coraline was nice.

Librarians ARE magic. Scary magic! XD I love Jady in the second panel.

Librarians seem to be magical. Can catch a sound from anywhere. I've never seen that movie, movies tend to arrive a little late here.
