v2.0
🕑 Added 2015-02-04 07:48:57 +0000 UTC Okay, first off, for anyone asking me questions via Patreon, I am certainly not ignoring you. Patreon is not set up even remotely close to how I read comments on the main site. I get emails, but unfortunately I can't respond via said emails. There's no ease of access for creators. So I am reading your comments when I get the chance, I just typically forget to reply when I eventually find my way back to the computer. In terms of non-responses from me, it's never cold shoulder. I love you all. It's basically 99% "I read it, thought of a reply.. but I'm a dumbass and forgot to." Just to be clear, these strips are still taking place BEFORE Ellie quits working for Danny. She's still off doing fake conventions somewhere at this point. Until I otherwise specify, this is pre-surveillance. so there's no possibility of Pumpkin-webcam-streams or anything like that. If I can remember my own comic enough, I recall having Ellie say she'd done the conventions with Danny for two months. Rosemary said Katrina was driving from Ocoee for a month. Herb sad Pumpkin's been moping for a week, so that leaves us with three weeks until we're caught up with the main site's story. Both stories just entered their cores with the two posts I'm doing today. I'm sure there's a better term, but the core, for me, is where the characters write the comics themselves. I did all the lead in/setup... and what they're built up to be just takes over. The conversation I have typed out for these two thus far, could easily take up 50 strips. So the biggest hurdle is just carving out what's not needed. Like, you know, a pumpkin. You will see quite a few parallels in the coming posts. There's one with Pumpkin's outfit in this one, which is very similar to another blonde who showed up on Quinn's doorstep. Pumpkin also seems to bear something weird on her nose that wreaks of silent-dad-guilt.

Hah! He let her get a nose stud. That's awesome. (Just became a patreon, BTW. Love Shotgun Shuffle. Have been reading for ages.. Since the Ellie working at the fast food place story line began.)

Rightly or wrongly the eldest is usually expected to be the alternate parental unit once you start creating a horde, particularly when there is that much age difference; three children with age range of five years from eldest to youngest, not so much, six kids (when LE/Cinn was born) with a ten year range from eldest to younger, yeah Ginger is on deck as Mom junior; and the other thing is this IS the opinion of the last one (which is what I was guessing would be her title) and may be colored by her experience therein. And Ginger seemed pretty self-aware during the BF shoot-out so I'm guessing once she finds out about whats been going on she'll see the indicators at least as well as we do. And I still think Pumpkin has'nt yet determined the question kat wanted answered so badly, which makes Quinn
So, I know the strips here are happening around the same time with the main story, but when exactly is this visit happening compared to the current strip on the main site? If we've got 2.0 here while a particular site is streaming stuff it could lead to all the issues. Honestly that was the first thing I thought once we saw Pumpkin enter the apartment.

I'm surprised Ginger's the one Ellie would've commonly gone to. I would've expected Tarra to be more likely. I also wonder if Ginger would find the same parallels in this that Rosemary did. I'm guessing "no" but it would be interesting.

I noticed the color match on her top, but I'd forgotten the shorts were identical. Wonder if the shorts are a hand-me-down.
That One Guy
She's not judging at all so much as she's saying, "Why is this my problem again? Why don't you go bug someone else!?" She's just learned to be a little nicer about it and more cautious about throwing things in the face of a Buckingham.
Mr. Blue
does she have a third nostril?

Rainbow hoodie, Ellie style shorts. pretext of possible laying groundwork for the day number seven goes to college panel. And that some of the reducing of the level of closeness between the two favorites begins to go downhill.
Pumpkin is wearing shorts exactly like Ellie's and the same shade of blue as Ellie's favorite shirt. I have no idea why Ellie would think of her sister as her little clone :p
The Lurker
Yeah, called it... and it would'nt be the only time a D.A.D.D. folded on, a (to him) minor fashion issues; wanna bet who funded Anise's first tats? And an aside, any idea why the reply function is so wonky in Patreon? I've tried to respond to a couple of commenters and had no joy....
Quinn has taken her next step in her role as "The Honorary One".
Theophrastus Bombastus
Got a little confused by the Patreon layout, but hey there's a new one today yay! Confide in Quinn? Great idea. At least she's not judging you in particular. She's like that to everyone.
