Shaenon: Unused illustration for my college alumni magazine. It was for a story on “cool courses.” The most awesome part is that my alma mater now has courses on comics. Back when I was a student, we made our own[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Shaenon: The couture is all very rewarding to draw, but if I had my druthers I’d just draw a million billion Nicks. Channing: That said, Unity looks really good in that dress.
Shaenon: The hardest SH character to sketch is Gavotte. She’s a friggin’ swarm of bees. In this case, I made the unilateral decision that I’d rather focus on drawing tiki drinks. Channing: Alternately, it’s Bubbles the Water Cooler in tropical[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
