Whedon Addiction

This has never happened to me. The closest Ive ever come to marathoning a TV show was watching 3 episodes of the anime Cardcaptor Sakura in a row, and that was because it was a 3-part season finale and I just couldnt leave off on a cliffhanger! But its pretty easy to imagine a (slightly toned-down) version of this strips events happening in real life.
Okay, confession time: I havent seen past the beginning of Buffy season 2. I know, I know! I do plan on watching all 7 seasons, its just hard to find the time. Because I havent seen all of it, I got my mom to give me a recap of what happens in the various seasons, and I included those things in the strip. Shes a HUGE Buffy fan and even owns a Buffy doll (or figurine as she calls it) and an Angel puppet. She also will shoot out funny one-liners, bask in everyones praise at her extreme wittiness, and only LATER admit theyre just Buffy quotes. Well, I didnt really realize at the time that Ive now spoiled for myself what happens in the ENTIRE SHOW. Um, well, I hope none of you were planning on watching Buffy! Should this strip have a spoiler warning?
This was a really fun one to color because I got to play around with trying to visually show the transition between night and day. It was also pretty challenging to have the blue glow from the TV in the last panel, as colored lighting isnt something I do very often. It took a lot of work to get it to look right, and Im really happy with how the final strip turned out!
