SPOILERS - A Hairy Situation
🕑 Added 2017-10-09 18:56:38 +0000 UTC The sneeze comic was originally supposed to be a one-pager, but now it may be taking on a life of its own! On page two, Daisy transforms thanks to getting a face full of magic wolf-germs! I could probably end it there, but at that point folks may be expecting some sort of resolution...I've only just started to think of what a third page may be - Mary & Daisy could be hiding in the back office, and Mary tells her the good news and the bad news. The good news is there's a cure - a flask of moonshine that Daisy quickly snatches without even waiting to hear the bad news, which is that it will give her the mother of all headaches.
One downside to this, is I may be breaking one of my personal rules - I don't consider things canon until I put them in a comic, and this means that wolf-Mary is becoming canon sooner than I'd planned. Apart from Halloween gags, my original plan was to introduce Mary's monster-hunting and wolf-form slowly, with most of the characters thinking she's either crazy or that she has an overactive imagination. Now I haven't really gotten to any of that, and we're diving into her being a werewolf!
Another story this could potentially screw up, is one where Mary explains the 'real' rules of monsters to Violet. She says she knows these things because she hunts them, AND because she's a werewolf, and the whole time Daisy would be trying not to laugh. She even reveals that her family's special moonshine helps her to maintain control, and that that's how moonshine got its name. Daisy says that's one of the stupidest thing she's ever heard.
With this current comic, I'm tempted to get to some of the rules early. One would explain how they slipped into the back office unnoticed - for some reason, most people tend to ignore things they think can't possibly be real, and come up with simple explanations (costumes!).
A possible way out could be that the moonshine causes Daisy to pass out, and if it doesn't wipe her short-term memory she may just think her and Mary's transformation was a weird dream.
