No, I don't know what I was thinking about Deanna's dress design. Except that I'd put in that there was draping, and I think I merged that with the prairie-dress style on the old Who's Who page.

And now for another parent-child pair

Somebody should really stop me from snarking on the wedding-o-rama but not yet
Wouldn't a wedding denouement with the real consequences of the insane planning have been great?Merrie and Francoise in tears over the ugly dresses, attendants carrying landscaping remnants of wilted bedding pansies and trimmed leaves, the inexpertly-altered dress falling apart in the middle of the vows...

I have really gotten into a MWF routine, haven't I?
I really noticed how much I've gotten into a MWF update routine after the holidays when I had a very full M-Tues this week. I had stuff figured out, but almost no drawing time. So this was supposed to lead into another little bit with Dee and Nora:
Which maybe I'll get to drawing tonight or tomorrow.

25 Dec 2009: Merry Christmas from the Sketchpad
I've got some looser stuff covering vignettes of the 25th...
Yeah, I know, that is the world's worst drawing of a walker.
Anyhow, Foob's Paradise goes on hiatus for my Christmas break, where I head back north of the 49th into the frozen tundra :-) It'll pick up again in the new year.

24 Dec 2009: another rare Wednesday installment
... in order to continue Deanna's conversation with her parents. It did look like something of a breakthrough was happening.
Well, maybe not quite the breakthrough they were hoping for.
Yes, this on-the-edge obsession of Deanna to make Mike a success is my tribute to the "small sewing school" future in the Strip of Destiny, which clearly wasn't going to work unless Mike could support the family himself. It hasn't occurred to Deanna that she might not feel work was such a drudgery if she weren't run ragged doing everything so that Mike is left free of all responsibilities except his muse.
Wilf clearly has his own ideas of the root of this obsession.
Either way, Deanna is doing everything, because while freelance writers complete projects on their own time, Mike has been given a ton with hard-to-schedule subjects. (Maybe he's annoyed people in the industry?) And it looks like Mike has neither been asked to nor has he figured out on his own to use the rest of his time wisely.
