SS7 163 Getting Ready
skyangel on Sept. 17, 2022
Just to remind everybody, the Wedding the girls are getting ready for here is Sarah's old school friend Geraldine. I know our regular readers will know this anyway but for those who may have just jumped in I thought it might seem a bit confusing especially as Sarah has only recently suggested the idea to Janey too!
Because Becky was held up on finishing the colouring last week she did suggest I put up the b+w line version until she was finished and I told her I'd considered it too but at such times readers have always said they were happy enough to wait. When the page came back this morning it reminded me just how much the page comes to life after Becky has coloured them for us. She's been a part of this comic since 2013 which means she's coloured a pages for us almost every week for about 9 years! I must of course also mention how fortunate we've been to have the equally talented Emma Clare colour the majority of our earlier pages previous to that.
Next week: The fun begins when they arrive at the Registry Office and Janey comes face to face with the school bully who nearly killed her many years ago!

I always found it quite hard drawing group scenes at the best of times but I managed to get everyone looking very natural in this one I think and it was a lovely fun page to do as well!

This moment is so relatable my Mother gets in the car and frequently has to go straight back into the house because she forgot something

The word you meant, Sarah, was 'breath-taking' :)

I don't know why but I really like that last shot with the car taking off

Jason: I like it too, maybe because it's a nice 'Here we go!' kind of a panel

Strip looks great. If forgotten hats are the worst dramas that occur . . .well colour me surprised. ........................... Sorry to hear about Becky's health problems, I wish her the best with that. And I agree with you her colouring really brings the strip to life.

Fruitbat: Haha Very true! For Sarah and Janey hats will be the last thing on their minds. Becky's doing okay but she's been having a pretty rough couple of weeks for sure.

Fred: I was trying to capture the hustle and bustle of such an event so I did have a lot of fun on this page. :)

This page is wonderful!

Carora: I'm glad you all like it :)

This is so great! Haha, love the detail of Sarah shutting her dress in the car door. That's also a very sweet set of dialogue between Sarah and Janey. They are so in love and it's just great!!
gemi at 9:08AM, Sept. 22, 2022
That's cool that you included a real life observation! :)
skyangel at 5:54AM, Sept. 19, 2022
Gemi: I was driving home one day and saw this woman in a small car with her dress caught in it, this same way so when scripting this page it seemed a fun thing to add, especially on top of forgetting their hats!

They're all so pretty! Are hats mandatory at British weddings?
skyangel at 5:45AM, Sept. 19, 2022
Arici: Hats aren't mandatory at all but some do like to make an event of it this way.

Sarah's dress hanging from the door in the last panel is a really nice touch, and yes, Janey does look perfect

Bick: It happens! XD
