Watching the news can pretty much stress anybody out. Alice just needs a nice long nature walk away from it all, haha.
On an artsy note, i'm still playing with the glowy pink words and such to convey that all is indeed not right in Alice's cluttered, anxiety ridden mind. Kind of a not-so-subtle under the surface thing.
Anyways, hope everyone's weekend is going awesome!

Love this page.
1) Myself, I immediately identified the pink words as her snark aimed at Jay. Misunderstanding his words and still thinking he is just some tough super soldier. Something which you are trying to break down for a while now.
2) Jay is a genuinely kindhearted guy. In my opinion. Yes, he can switch real quick but so far, it was always about the bad guys. He would not try to save KATE (where is she? T_T) otherwise. Why this? Because you can see how Alice still misses his words.
The first panel, in my opinion, is not "doing a man's job" but sincere care for his partner.
3) You successfully present her expressions. Switching between the panel 5 kind and panel 7 all the time. Props and well done!
Thanks as always, man :D :D
Yeah, Alice hates the thought of being relegated to a second-rate person in need of help. She's the type to punish someone for the perceived notion that they are looking down on her - even if perhaps she is the one looking down on herself more than anyone else.
Masking insecurities with bravado much? Jay has no such insecurities - his problems are much more external, so it's hard for him to get on the same page as her.
Don't worry, Kate's got herself some scenes coming up very, very quick ;) and I promise i'll try to make them make up for her absence thus far :D
Alice you're a mixed up mess but we love you red hair & all.
Nice to see the pink word use. On one of my efforts, I used to use shades of blue/purple/pink to indicate male, female, "butchness", "femmeness". Despite being subscribed, I haven't read this for some time, so I'mm having a big read... <<
Thanks! Yeah, i've noticed some coloured/word effects to stress/emphasize words in comics i've been reading lately, so I figured i'd give it a go haha.
Also, welcome back ^_^
