Hey, Look, Kickstarter Sketches
Shaenon: Sometimes I’m just going to draw Mucha-style Art Noveau profiles and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Channing: Oh, man, I am loving that Tigerlily, although Pixie Lee is also weirdly adorable, and Sweetheart happily retrieving manila folders is sort of giving me life right now.
Beautiful! And I really love the detail of the spinal cord hanging off the the brain Virginia is holding. Gruesomely hilarious! Also, Sweetheart is adorable, as always!
If I ever see another book set, I hope I remember to ask for Helen releasing her flying pickle people…
Ooh! Ooh! If enough of us request that, maybe Shaenon will make it the cover of the book!
Unlikely. Narbonic is done; I was just thinking she might adorn a Skin Horse book with Helen’s delightful image. Even though it’d be in BW, I’d know the wings are pink…
Eeeee, Dr Lee personality sprite! That’s adorable!
Plip!
Art Noveau goes pretty perfectly with an Oz-inspired comic, honestly!
Should be. The file Sweetheart is carrying is labeled “O-Z.”
Aaaaaah, I didn’t notice that! ❤️
Great catch!!
I love these Kickstarter rewards! It gives us the chance to see what might have been.
Sweetheart’s little face! Tip’s dress! <3
Noah should smile for that selfie unless he already saw himself not smiling in it and doesn’t want to mess up a pleasant timeline memory.
It’s Jonah, and maybe he just has that look on his face because of whatever it is he’s reading.
Yes to Mucha-style anything!
Gosh, and I thought the worst thing the fairies would do if you slept with your head under the pillow was take all your teeth out!
Sure, if they go in through your mouth. But if they go in through the top of your head…..
The Dr. Lee sprite is GREAT!
Oh man, you can draw Mucha designs all *WEEK* so far as I’m concerned; I freakin’ love Mucha. And the Jonah-and-Nera selfie is adorable too! I keep thinking that Sweetheart would look great as a ‘Chienne Blanc’ (as opposed to a ‘Chat Noir,’ which, yes, I know is by Steinlen and not Mucha, but *still.*)
“Leave your brain under the pillow, and the Brain Fairy will take it and put a quarter in its place.”
This is what it felt like to be a broke college student selling your textbooks back to the bookstore at the end of the semester, which you do even if you liked the books because the couple of bucks they give you is still more money than you had before. Either way, you’re basically trading in your knowledge for a pitifully small financial gain.
I so love how much personality and mood you (Shaenon) can put in your characters with only a few lines. And most of all, maybe, how you can show when they are happy because they are true to themselves. The world might be telling Dr. Jones (who is regal here, btw) to cease and desist, but she marches (or boogies) to her own beat. Sweetheart might be aware that stationery isn’t supposed to be fulfilling, but fulfilled she is.
Artie rarely seems content, though. But I suppose he just keeps chasing the horizon.
Oh, these are all great (especially Tigerlily) but that Tip is downright lovely
As a lifelong fan of Mucha, I love all of these so so much. I would hang all of them happily on my wall, but that Sweetheart design is something I need on my office mug asap. I would happily trade the convenience of email for some kind of twist on the pneumatic tube that involved cute dogs… although the dogs probably wouldn’t agree.
Amazon needs to offer a service where content creators can offer a library of images which can be printed onto a T-shirt or mug, laser etched into a crystal or glass, 3D printed as a figurine or mapped into a hologram.
These sketches are hecking great. Sweetheart prancing is adorable!
As much as I adore Dr. Lee, that brain simply terrifies me! I was scarred at a young age by the 1958 film “Fiend Without a Face”.
Brain Pixie Lee is so precious!!
Was linked to one of the earlier comics from a random imgur post and I’ve just spent the past few hours reading. What a great comic this is.
Of course, there’s also something to say about a hint of Mecha…

Sweetheart carrying the folder is ADORABLE!
I have a real problem with the picture of Tigerlily. My problem is that it is not a full-length coloured image with a magnificent complicated border design done as a stained glass panel the size of my wall. It’s so gorgeous I want morrrrrrrre!
Such fun to see everyone with a different look
Love these!
Sweetheart is so adorable here!
