SS7 180 Waiting for a train
skyangel on Jan. 23, 2023
I finished inking the very last page this weekend which just leaves two more pages left to upload when Becky has finished colouring them. It's a strange feeling as for the past fifteen years I've barely gone a week without working on the next comic page, either finalising the script, planning the panels and drawing and inking it. Although I've enjoyed doing it for so long it has felt like a second job at times so I'm really content at the moment to just waste my days more.

I finally created an account. I follow Sarah for years now. You are a great story teller

Brexeva: Thank you! When I put this stuff down on paper I always read it back a week later and question my writing and all I can come up with is,'it felt good at the time!' Lovely to meet you at last anyway! :)

And now the end draws near . . .an oddly quiet page, the girls stranded at seemingly deserted railway station. (I did Google 'Norbourgh' to see if there was any signifigance to the name, but if there is I am missing it.) I say quiet, but is there something sinister about it, okay Sarah & Janey's joking about 'The Twilight Zone' is sweet, but is there something more here? Anyway, Sky, it's been a fun ride, thank you for having us along. And it's not over just yet!

I googled Norborough for coloring reference and found Narborough... but yeah I wondered too... Nor meaning 'not this or that', as if the town is not here or there! Clever one on Sky's part.

Sky, thank you for that info. A few fun pages is going to be a welcome change after the drama.

Fruitbat: Norborough was the fictional name of a station used in an old 60's TV show called The Avengers. In an episode called 'A funny thing happened on the way to the station' it was a place where people got off and were never seen again. ;) I felt like we've had enough drama over the last few pages so I just wanted to have a few fun pages before we close.

Nothing gets these girls down for long, does it? And I love the colors and the great detail in the station. Together with Janey's comment about the odor, you really feel like you're there.

Fred: I used to notice this 'smell' in the old style wooden bus stops as well so I felt I had to include it. XD

I am SO going to miss Sarah and company. I hope you will find another project/story to tell sometime in the future. Your talent is phenomenal and so rare. I hope you will consider collecting all your pages into a book. Love the Twilight Zone reference!

PBandJ: Thank you for that! I love the writing stage most of all as it seems to flow quite easily but I've often felt my habit of letting simple story lines become more complicated is a bad one. I'm always full of self doubt about everything I do so the feedback I've had from you guys over the years has been so valuable and motivating too.
