SS7 50 Janey gushes and Sarah blushes

A high five to all those of you who remembered Jenny from way back in chapter five cos that's a long time ago now for sure, but yes, she's back for a bit to add a bit of sparkle to the story.
When I was at art college my best friend and I would bunk the art history lesson every week by pretending to be going down to the library to do research but instead we slipped out of the building to go window shopping round town instead. We only had 2 hours so we used to leap down the three flights of stairs as fast as we could giggling all the way.
Then one day the old guy who gave the lectures called us back at the end of class and told us he knew what we were doing. I blushed hard with guilt and looked at the floor while my friend protested her innocence and came out with a load of verbal diarrhoea about how much she loved his class and would never miss it for the world, except that he had already seen us leaving from the window! That was the first time I ever heard the expression ‘The lady doth protest too much!’ and I have never forgotten it. If you're gonna lie keep it small! lol
Next week: Can Janey makes things any worse? Possibly ;)
Have a nice week :)

Well hello Jenny. :-) I'd forgotten she was dating the, err, interesting Allison. Thank you for sharing the anecdote Sky, and yes honesty is definitely the best policy. Something Janey doesn't seem to grasp. I wonder if this is the same quirk of her nature that led her to cheat on Sarah? And Sarah does blush very prettily . . . and Jenny's "Okayyy" has a whole paragraph worth of scepticism in there.

Fruitbat: Jenny and Alison make an interesting combination for sure! :) Janey is pretty reckless too and does tend to act impulsively so I guess there is something in that.

Nic: Thanks :) Body language always feels as important as facial expressions so it does feel nice to capture something that looks really natural if I can.

I always love Becky's skin tones, and the blush is perfect !

Thanks Bear and Fred! Janey is a vibrant person so she gets a nice tan, Laura is woeful so she's pale, Sarah's in the middle haha! xo

I notice because I did that on B.E. and most strips don't have it.

Wow, she does do them differently! I never noticed. Now that's a pro!

Bear: Yea me too, Becky always gives everyone a slightly different shade which is interesting as I'd just do them all the same.

Don't mean to be rude, Jenny kinda looks way older than remember her looking in panel two, panel thee she is looking young and cute though ;)

Just figured it was just the angle

That's okay, I've been struggling to keep up my enthusiasm lately so it's bound to show in the art.
BearinOz at 5:37AM, March 18, 2020
Yeah, I thought the same...

Sounds like Janey _is_ keeping it simple, just Jenny ain't having none of it :P

That would imply that one doesn't trust the other, or knew the truth in the first place, which means no need to phone at all. Plausible lies are the best ones, specially if you throw in a few truths occasionally

DV: Simple but easily proved wrong with a quick phone call too. lol
