She's not berating you enough for buying a Chevrolet when you could've gone into more debt with a Honda.  Also, she's not breaking your things because I don't know why you have to see your parents on Christmas when you saw them on Thanksgiving even though they're just 20 minutes away.  Or you have to write me out a years' worth of post-dated checks or I'll file rape charges.

So yeah...needs more work, Mal.

Well, I'm not skilled enough to draw all of that - it would take a whole comic book!

The best I can do is a sort of visual summary ...

Did she kill a leprechaun and steal his hat?

It's a "fascinator". Tiny top hats are, apparently, an actual thing.

Though killing a leprechaun for his hat would be in character ...

It's Dia de los Muertos today - in honour of that, I'll repost this pic of "Catrina", taken with a better camera. Viva Mexico!

I was watching new Duck Tales with my son and saw Star vs. the Forces of Evil advertised. I was surprised to see it was both a Disney and American production. Japanese cultural imperialism!!!111 or American cultural appropriation!!!111 Depending upon how you slice it :P

I had a similar experience when David was super into Slugterra...'wait this is a Canadian show?'

Heh, it definitely owes a lot to anime. Though it is more an affectionate parody of anime themes than a straight adaptation.

Also a parody on Disney themes - doubly ironic as it is, of course, itself a Disney property. I don't expect Star to figure among the lineup of "Disney Princesses", although in a sense, she is one.  :hmm:

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Another version of "Anger Issues", with black background - not sure which works better. Thoughts?

White background makes the image pop more.  IMHO.
