Sometimes shit happens, and who you gonna call?  Not Lorraine…

I spent more time on this damn strip then most of the others combined.  I fussed and fussed over Robyn’s position, expression, her hand, her foot, the damn engine… then I even re-drew Lorraine’s face in the third panel as well.  All in all, I worked on the third panel way too much.  Yes, Robyn’s in the 3rd panel… *look* past Lorraine… oh, yeah, Robyn!

A little Italian today as I prepare you for a series of comics that feature mostly the girls.  Bud and Jeff are taking five as Robyn and Lorraine take center stage for a the next few strips.  As a slight teaser, Lorraine gets a job starting Monday and we’ll follow those antics for a bit.  Friday, Robyn heals from her wounds of today!

Ah, Mr. Tom Petty and those Hearbreakers. Rockin’ 1977 with “American Girl”.  Yeah, it’s about a girl ending it all, but I still like the song, so I used it for today’s comic title.  Robyn and Lorraine are American Girls, just not in the sense of what Petty’s lyrics meant.  I don’t have to make sense, do I?  Right…
