Chapter: Chapter 10: Laid Plans
Happy Wednesday! Gonna make up for how hard the last chapter was (and this chapter will be) to read by putting Alex in increasingly attractive fashions, because that’s self-care.
Thank you to everyone who joined the Patreon last week!! This chapter’s going to be a banger, so now’s the time to get in on it and show your support – even just one, two, or three stable dollars a month actually add up and go a long way to keeping my comics free AND ad-free. If you can please consider putting a little bit in the tip jar, it really helps!

TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1 (Alex enters through the kitchen porch door, Imogen in the foreground)
Alex: Hey! Dropping five kids off at school is way different than just one!
Panel 2 (Imogen looks over her shoulder)
Imogen: Did the boys give you any trouble?
Panel 3 (Alex removes her scarf and coat)
Alex: I don’t know how you do it every day.
Panel 4 (Alex pours herself a coffee while looking at Imogen with concern)
Imogen: Yeah… guess I’m just a supermom.
Imogen is still hurt from the last chapter, and is probably still hurt from other moms in that she’s also “supermom”.
So glad Alex is helping her!
Oh dang, I wonder how much time has passed? So excited to see the rest of this chapter!
Imogen’s awesome, but I feel like she’s really hurting from how she has been shunted into a role that so thoroughly defines her. I hope she can do something for herself, too, like a hobby, an interest, something that helps get her to feel like Imogen, who is a mom, rather than Imogen the Mom.
I also want to know how much time has happened, are they divorcing? is she moving away because eh didn’t want to move away, what will happen? I really want to know so many things. Glad Alex is helping Imogen, I hope she can now have some time to figure what she wants, away from her toxic ex
God I’m impressed by how well you convey the pain she’s going through in such a simple, clear way. Also I want to give her -all the hugs-.
This is the morning after.
