47 - Trapped (pt. 2)

This happens whenever I stay at my parents' house too long, too. It's so difficult to live under someone else's roof, with someone else's rules, after living on your own for so long. I want to be able to clean up the room without being scolded for having too many dishes in the room, or spend a Saturday afternoon relaxing without worrying about someone knocking loudly on the door to ask in frustration when Allan is going to mow the lawn.
The food thing is one of the biggest issues I have. I don't like eating other people's food (unless it's my own parents'). Even though they buy it to share, I still have to closely watch how much I take. I hate that. I hate looking through the pantry or fridge (fidge lol) and deciding what to eat based on what I think Allan's parents are going to want the next day; especially when I guess wrong and that food eventually goes bad. That happens a lot.
Anyway, I drew this in two parts over a uStream link. I had about 6 people watching me, making comments, and generally making the whole process more fun. Having people watch made me want to work more, take less breaks, and get it done; and although it did take me two nights, they kept me on track. So thanks guys!

No it's an X-Files poster. I think. It's not mine.

Is that a motivational poster I see in the 2nd panel?

I just started doing the ustreams, but I like it. I'll probably do it for most of my comics, and those links will be given on twitter (amandachu) when they happen. :D

Heh, reminds me of when I moved in with my then girlfriend (now my wife!) and her parents. :P I think that was half the reason I moved out so quickly once I could: I didn't want to mow the lawn any more. hahaha

Oh! do you do the ustream alot? I love watching y'all work. And it's just wonderful to get to talk to artists. Especially the cute ones, even if they're spoken for
