Man if not for the background shenanigans in panel four, this came dangerously close to being the first comic page I've ever drawn with no boobs in it. It is indeed the first page I've ever drawn without a female character as the primary focus. I knew I wanted to introduce Courtney to the chapter in the background but she's not a miracle worker lol. This is still a dude-heavy page here.
Speaking of dudes here comes Bria's dad! I've decided to kick the can down the road as to his first name, as Warren would be too respectful to call him that. For context as to my dilemma, in an early chapter I had Ann refer to Bria as "Carol's kid" when talking to Royce. A tidbit that I completely forgot when I later revealed Bria's mother and named her Ophelia. Now I'm unsure if I should just own up to the flub and name her dad Carol or sidestep it by naming him Carl.
I hope you guys like the page and that you're ready for the holidays over there!
