You, as the reader, are mostly in Chapel’s head, seeing (and discovering) the world as she does. Here, I wanted to let you discover something before Chapel does, which is why I had the reveal of the tea switch-up in panel two instead of the end. I drew Chapel’s loose hair very fluffy, implying that maybe she had just taken a bath and was all ready to snuggle up for bed. In my experience, a hot bath and chamomile tea is a wonderful way to get yourself drowsy. Unfortunately it didn’t work so well for Chapel here!!
Originally, Chapel was getting ready for bed at 10 pm but when my mom saw this comic, she said, “Chapel’s too young to go to bed that late! Her no-nonsense doctor mom wouldn’t allow it!” Sorry, her bedtime is at 9 pm now!
