In this comic, I wanted to pay homage to the classic film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Seeing as Audrey Hepburn was a classic film star and hat connoisseur, I think Chapel would be a huge fan of her elegant and iconic style. The opening scene of the movie is so classic that Chapel would definitely imagine herself staring longingly through the hat store windows…

P.S. Emma we have the same haircut! LOL!
Holly: You remind me of my brother Fred. May I call you Fred?
Paul: Sure...
For the rest of the film she calls Paul Vojak "Fred darling" or "darling Fred." Her manager, played by Martin Balsam, calls him "Fred baby." This is where my cat Fred got his name.
"Breakfast at Tiffanies" is one of my favorite short novels (Truman Capote is one of my heroes). The original book was based on his friendship with Marilyn Monroe, and while the movie goes away from the original text a lot, I still love the movie anyways. Loved the Audrey Hepburn homage. Very nice. If you haven't seen it you should check Audrey Hepburn out in "Charade" or "The Childrens Hour." Those are my favorite of her films.
Very very classy.
On a completely different note, I just started watching Doctor Who, and I think they are very good, but I made the mistake of watching the whole of Series Six, including the ones with the Silence... Now I think I may have nightmares for weeks.
I love your comics, they are so cute and hilarious! You are an AMAZING ARTIST! I look forward to your comics every week!
If that is true, Miss Emma did you just drop a BIG hint what Chapel will look like in 10+ years? We all know Chapel will be nice and young (and non aging) for awhile yet. but will some time later, will Chapel grow up Miss Emma?
but however, i just can NOT believe that chapel would not be INSIDE that shop trying out those hats.
btw, Chapel's faithfuls out here, have ANY of you done what Chapel's doing in this strip?
:)
