Since I wanted to show reverso-world in Chapel, I changed all the things that make Chapel herself: her hair, her outfit, her glasses, her tastes. I flipped all the colors in her bedroom, because those are quite unique, and even changed the signature posters. Because Barnaby’s role in the story is mostly as Chapel’s brother, it made sense to change that significant distinction and make Chapel’s sister Bernadette. I wanted this to be sort of a “It’s a Wonderful Life” style glimpse into what Chapel could be like if several things were different… if she had never spotted Rupert in the adoption shelter or if she’d never been introduced to Lady Gaga. It’s those little choices that make us who we are, after all!

Thanks!
Hope that helps, feel free to ask me anything else.
BTW I've been reading this for a while but haven't commented before. I love this comic!
Also, I gathered from the now-defunct Moosehead Stew webcomic that a hedgehog is really not a pet you'd want to sleep next to.
So I gave him a typical referential sci fi shirt. He wears similar ones in almost all the comics.
Yayayayayayayayaysyay!!
Matt Smith's run as Dr. Who is now over. a NEW actor will take over as the good Dr. this fall.
now my thoughts on today's comic.
....
Me Gusta.
As a view point of a man, Bernadette looks rather attractive than she should be. either that, or is it implied that Barnaby is ment to be much more hansom than we realized?
Miss Emma, have you ever thought about adding a "friend next door" for little Chapel who would LOOK like this friday flipped Chapel as a friend/foil she can interact with from time to time. she doesn't have to be in the comic all the time, just once in awhile.
on another note Miss Emma, you could have drawn a gender flipped Chapel too. maybe that can be a topic of another strip later.
ITs a.....Justin Bieber POSTER??? TWO?? That would be my nightmare too...well done, Emma. ;D
Regardless, I sometimes imagine what path my life may have taken... if I'd married my high school sweet heart, for example. If I'd not moved to Orange County with my friends when I'd just turned 18... My life may have been full of mistakes and misadventures, but they have built character and I like the person that I am now... though probably I could be better.
=D
That's an interesting way of thinking about it! Very cool...
