The fact that Forrest just happened to be walking by, right as Midori lost it on those eggs, has to be the cherry on this poor girl’s sh*t sundae. After I read this page I actually said to myself, “Of course, he just HAD to be the one to see her like this!” XD
I just discovered this comic a few days back and have been binging to catch up. I love it!
Probably everyone will hate me for saying this, but I like the artwork better in black and white. I mean, yeah, I can see why seeing her green hair as green helps in telling the story, but on the other hand, I didn’t get that that was Forrest until I read the comment saying so, in part because his skin isn’t colored dark enough to go with that lecture he gave Grey about prejudice a few pages ago. But that’s not the point, it’s that the b&w looks much more realistic, to me, and much more intense. It’s why all the best movies are in b&w; it tells a story better, especially with good light and shadow, as you’ve consistently done.
I thought the one page of childhood memory in color was great, emphasizing that that was a better world and a simpler time, but I would have liked to see a return to b&w for the present-time scenes.
But, it’s your comic, and I’m not going to abandon it however you do it!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!! Also I really appreciate your opinion, I agree there’s a lot to like about doing it in B+W, and I know that there’s some readers who will prefer it. It was a difficult choice, since I’d done 4 chapters without color… but I started out in B+W for efficiency’s sake rather than a stylistic choice, and it started to feel like it was holding me back from how I envisioned the project. I can only hope my color abilities can match up to the feel and intensity that was achieved in b+w. 🙂

At least she wasn’t actually trying to make sundaes :’)
It’s true, Midori has impeccable timing in the worst way sometimes, lmao

You know, I would ask why she didn’t try to cut the pepper, but it’s probably best that she doesn’t touch the knife.
Michelle
Yeah, and cutting the onion didn’t go very well…
