Nic - Bringing up the body language again. I really appreciated Ben's idea to have Ada clutching her translation book against her chest in the beginning and as Imy encourages her, we see Ada slowly become more at ease and more relaxed with Imy's comforting (and somewhat amusing) words. Ben - So far this is my favorite emotional exchange between Imy and Ada. I just love how over the top Imy is with everything.
(Nic) Thank you! It's funny because, when you see these two develop/interact further along in the story, both girls will show a fierce kind of loyalty, but in different ways. Ada a bit more reserved and Imy a bit like a firecracker lol
(Ben) Thanks, Imy is such a joy to draw. I'm working as fast as I can to get you the next page. Unfortunately, between the job and the child and the home maintenance, it probably won't be as fast as you like. :\

She's so supportive. Just what Ada needs for starting her new school

She truly is :) Imy's the friend we all need. Giving us that little nudge of encouragement from time to time.

Imy Burke: striking fear into the hearts of men since 1900-ish.

SO CUTE! I love their friendship and how Imy is protective over Ada. You can tell Ada appreciates this ^-^

The body language works very well.

(Ben) Thanks, I'm really happy with it all turned out.

There's nothing more amusing than someone 'very foreign' learning English with an Irish, Welsh or Scottish accent B-)
NicAndBen at 12:23PM, July 13, 2019
(Nic) YES. It very much is LOL! It's amusing yet somewhat painful to watch at the same time. But hey, comedy and tragedy go hand in hand, right?
