#181 - The Birthday Boy 3

GASP! Self discoveries abound! Looks like Cheryl likes the hug! And John figured out a way for one of his flaws to be useful! Quite a birthday for our favorite smol boy. I ended having so much fun writing this scene, I'll have to follow up on it at some point in the future!

Wait, was John fainting around Carol something established in an earlier comic, or is this something new to the last couple pages?

It's something new that was only established in this arc. There was never any art involving Carol or John, cannon or otherwise, so I figured this would be an amusing in-universe explanation!

Am I confusing something or is Carol saying her own name in the last panel? Also that was a task completed unsuccessfully by John, I guess? :D

Eeek! Nice catch, that was an error on my part. The hazards of writing for twins lol - And hey, in this case the unsuccessfulness has led to success! XD

Does this mean Cheryl is joining John's polycule or just a side thing? I don't really see her meshing well with Sebby or Iris. And dangit spellchecker, Sebby and polycule are both perfectly cromulent words, stop flagging them.

We'll find out for sure as the arc gets closer to its conclusion. But I will say this, her meshing with Sebby and Iris is indeed a bit problematic personality-wise.

Heh...this was nice and adorably awkward, and hopefully they'll get John to the right spot! That was quite a...solution(?) to this problem.

Not sure that driving after a fainting spell is a good idea.
