Credit to Luke for suggesting, of all things, a Virgin Mary bust to get knocked over into the basket o' bras.
The thrift store that this is based on opened back up last week, and when I dropped in, lo and behold:

It's like a thrift shop requirement!
This whole chapter is pretty quiet, which means the pages might be easier to read all together. Here's a link to pages 1-4 in case you wanna revisit them! I promise Paul will talk at some point, but can't promise you'll want him to.

Thanks. . .I think? Do you enjoy doing those little details? Are those the things that give the images dimension for you? I'm absolutely *not* an artist, but as someone who enjoys reading a well written paragraph, a beautifully crafted panel creates an entire world in my mind.
Lingerie need saints, too! ;)

Had to travel all the way to the midwest to get a sample! <3

I forgot to tell you that I laughed sharply at this. :)
Danielle Corsetto
Ha! As I recall she IS sitting right next to a basket o' bras! Yup yup, this is that thrift store. :)
Danielle Corsetto
I honestly sometimes think of you when I add little details! "Look you think nobody will appreciate this but RUTH WILL PROBABLY NOTICE IT." <3
Danielle Corsetto
Can I just get a landline with voicemail that you and Ruth can call in to send words of encouragement when I'm at the end of the week and feeling like everything looks like crap? <3 <3 <3 Thank you!!

The word balloon work is brilliant. The colors alone convey so much, but the way Paul's is used to convey his anxiety is outstanding. And the rest of everything else in this strip that makes me glad I'm reading it. Sorry, I'll stop gushing.

LOL. this is great.

Awwwww, his stomach is tied in knots trying to say something. That's some stress right there. Awesome fumble action and I love seeing the winner of the survey in flying action. Those itty bitty padded bras are so cute (says the big busted gal who laughs at the very thought of padding). The shadows and shading from sunlight are still looking great, and the various flowered wallpapers are a treat. So many details to enjoy in Mary's fall from grace. . .

You capture a young man’s shopping experience perfectly.
It even looks like Mary has a bra-bin to her left! Love it...is this the thrift shop next to you?
Our Lady of Unmentionables!

How did you become acquainted with my stomach's favorite method of speech, Danielle? -Jess

That statue has that same sort of look as yours does, as though she knows she's in the comic.
Sara Testarossa
Ahahahaha, that's priceless!!! The tangle and fumbling and statue knocking over bra bin are so visually fun... I also like the tangled speech bubble tail, such a cute touch!
