Chapter: Chapter 16: Family Life
I had my doubts about coloring the first panel… but I think it came out okay! Night scenes have been my bane…
…good thing there’s a whole chapter coming up that takes place entirely at night.

TRANSCRIPT
(textless, as most of the pages this chapter; Alex and Imogen have a backyard BBQ with the neighbourhood moms, including Jacqueline; the blended Koenig-Dawson family have a movie night, and then later just Alex and Imogen watch a movie together that scares Alex; Imogen marvels at Alex’s unboot’d leg and her revealed leg hair)
Oh wow that firelight scene came out well!
Aaah Lu’s hair 🥰 …and Alex’s hair 😅
Love all these slice-of-life textless pages! They work really well as a montage and really highlight your amazing art! Beautiful!
But in the family pic, is Aiden or Adrian missing? Did the twins merge into one?
Thank you!
Couldn’t fit them both in, tbh. Not everyone has to be at movie night, or sitting on the couch.
One of them overdid it on the soda and has to take a wee break.
I choose to believe he’s on the floor sleeping with the dog.
STANKY LEG
I love how Alex is the one that did the horror movie theme montage on Youtube that got her on Imogen’s radar, but she’s a lil spooped when watching actual horror movies. Something about the dynamic is just really cute!
Also glad to see the return of Jacqueline the GOAT! I bet she’s happy to see her neighbors thriving like this. 🥰
I love this. Lu looks so content these days, love her hair. I also really like that Jacqueline and them are friends now.
I love that, breaking from assumptions, Alex is the movie wuss. Wonder if it’s a horror film or like a thriller.
Yay, the boot’s off!
I know there isn’t that much space in one comics to fit everything, but it looks for me like Imoge hasn’t ever spent time like that when she was with Jonathan? It was either taking care of kids or him and now she takes care of herself
1. Lulu’s hair is so cute now, i love it
2. the Redemption of Jacqueline had been a wonderful arc, filled with shocking twists
As someone who broke her leg on November 18 that calf needs to be a lot more pathetic! Loving this though.
