Glad Handing

Glad handing doesn’t come naturally to a serious guy like Liam. He prides himself on being straightforward and honest. Sometimes this puts people off. Tara on the other hand is extremely good at it and is more than happy to teach the brother the art. This is the first time we’ve met Cody Driscol, syndicated columnist for the Homestead Herald. Despite what Tara says, he’s just here to cover the…

Don't Be A Pessimist

Much to Liam‘s annoyance, Tara has been referring to him as Mr. Mayor ever since he became a city councilman. Even more annoying, Tara likes to ask leading questions about the health of the current mayor to “inspire him.“ Liam would not discount the suggestion that the mayor is not running for another term because Tara got to him. Tara thinks this is because he’s a pessimist.

Your Host

Just a quick reminder that PacificNorthern Pacific Railway is the host for this event. As a board member, Danielle has serious problems with this. Don’t bother asking her about it, she doesn’t expect you to understand.

Charlie and Vaggie From Memory

Here are the next few pictures of my series of characters as filtered by my flawed memory. This time, I'm doing the power couple from Hazbin Hotel, Charlie and Vaggie.

The hardest part of this exercise is to avoid any franchises until I finish my chosen characters for fear of being reminded of what everybody looks like.

Charlie and Vaggie are both fairly simple designs, so they were fairly easy to remember. I think the only thing I got wrong was how Charlie parts her hair and her collar.

Smartest in The Room.

I frequently wonder who’s smarter, Brian or Tara. I’m slowly beginning to think it’s Tara, or at least her people skills are better. She can work a room with the confidence she’s the smartest person in the room. Speaking of the people who think they’re the smartest person in the room, we haven’t seen Danielle McManus for quite a while. I doubt she approves.

Go to Mingle

Laurel is not alone in being terrified of Tara’s ability to mingle.

The Entertainment Value

A lot of time has passed since Tara first mentioned Liam’s first official campaign event, and now it’s finally here! Tara enjoys its entertainment value. We don’t see much of Tara’s husband, Glen. In his defense, with a significant other like Tara, it pays to keep one’s head down.

Don't Be A Martyr

Nobody would call Kate a martyr but she feels like one a lot of the time.

The Liaison

Due to complications caused by some short-term planning last summer, the Department of Minor Nuisances is getting a liaison. Paul’s cousin Nikki joined the band on their road trip to San Francisco last year for… reasons. To keep her out of trouble, they “hired” her as Dielle’s assistant. This was good for the Department of Minor Nuisances since it meant on paper that the band had more members…

Delegation

Delegation doesn’t come easily to Kate. She’s a hands-on type of person. The thought of not having the time to do everything rubs her the wrong way. Especially when it’s got to the point that all she knows about these things is what Lisa tells her. This is not the first time Kate suggested Erika take her place at public events. Erika said no.

Fan From Teenage Drama

It’s been a little while since the Department of Minor Nuisances since their last meeting. Unfortunately, thanks to office politics, you can’t do anything without dealing with questions from other divisions… Meet Shui Fan from the Teenage Drama division. The routine was fun while it lasted. While the Circle Bands certainly does do plenty of sessions, they wouldn’t call themselves a sessions band.…

Sir Pentious - From Memory

I recently had an idea for a drawing exercise. The exercise consists of drawing a character from memory. Whatever you do, don't look up the character to refresh your memory. Feel free to embellish, improve, and expand on your vision as you go along, but do not correct anything,

When you finish, see how far off you were.

I started with Sir Pentious from Hazbin Hotel

The Natural Flow

Like Kris, I’ve always loved the natural flow of conversation. It’s always fascinating how one subject leads to another and you find yourself talking about ten different topics in an hour. Of course, when you’re on a role, the risk of volunteering more information than you should is high. This is why Kate does not like it. If I’d bothered to look at a calendar when writing, I would have tried to…

About The Alligators

It’s a challenge talking to Kris. Obviously, you have to be on your guard. But, for the sake of your endurance, you need to zone out when she’s deliberately trying to tire you out. Unfortunately, she knows this and will throw some alligators to check if you’ve dropped your guard.

Probation?

Okay, as far as I understand the unwritten rules regarding Bert and Shilo’s house. Bonnie lets Bert out of the box and the house decides he isn’t a threat but is still on notice. Bert chooses to regard this as probation.

Big Picture

As anyone who has known her for more than five minutes knows, the only time Blossom focuses on the big picture is when it deals with her.
