Igual que al padre de Chapel, mi papá se desmayó cuando vio un poco de sangre en los vendajes después de que me sacaran las muelas de juicio. Esto viene de un hombre que cuando me lastimo las rodillas o tengo los codos cubiertos de sangre muy suelto dice: “¡Es una prueba de que has tenido una aventura!” Mi mamá sólo le dio una palmada una o dos veces porque las enfermeras vinieron y ellas lo asistieron inmediatamente. Tenía mucho miedo por él y después de tres horas de espera para que su presión arterial subir, los dos conseguimos lo que queríamos. Sólo regresar a casa.

Además, he puesto nuevos bosquejos en mi tumblr. ¡Míralos haciendo clic arriba! Y si quieres preguntarme algo (¡o a Chapel!) puedes hacerlo haciendo clic en el botón de “ASK!” en la parte superior del tumblr.

No no no! You've got it all wrong. Leaving the seat up is a sign that we didn't pee on it. You should be glad it was left up.
Dieseldriver 4/8/13 responder
It's still disrespectful, at least according to Chapel's mom.
Emma 4/11/13 responder

Thank you!!
Emma 10/8/12 responder
 
Your mom must have had a lot to handle that day. I feel sorry for her!
Jam 6/23/12 responder
She did have a lot to handle, poor thing!!
Emma 10/8/12 responder
 
I'm not that bad, but I do pass out when it come to too much blood and needles.
maldar 12/8/11 responder
Oh no...my best friend does that, too!
Emma 10/8/12 responder
 
is chapel's mom really a doctor?
Ginny Weasley fan 11/18/11 responder
(blink) i can't believe i missed that. good point GW fan. Miss Emma, is your mother a real doctor or is that just the comic?
Dr. Taxil Necrobane 11/18/11 responder
Ha ha, I hope I didn't make it too hard to miss! That's just in the comic, in real life my mom's an intellectual property lawyer. But some other aspects of Chapel's mom's personality are inspired by my mom!
Emma 11/18/11 responder
Yep, she is! I haven't really talked about her that much but I'm hoping to include her in the comic more in the future.
Emma 11/18/11 responder
 
Forget the smelling salts-- fetch the ice! lol

The first story I read of yours was "Seventeen Across" in Stone Soup. (By the way, I've always wondered-- what was the answer to the crossword puzzle?) I started really following your work when I watched a video on the Stone Soup website of you painting an illustration, and it got me interested. And, after reading much of your blog, you also got me interested in the... what's it called? Scholastic Alliance for Young Writers and Artists. (Great job, by the way! I'm planning on submitting a book that I'm in the process of editing. I've probably edited it ten thousand times.)

I just love reading about young authors like me. This comment's probably getting a little lengthy, so I'll wrap it up. :)
Emily 11/18/11 responder
No worries about the length of the comment, I love it! I'm SO glad it seems like a lot of people have come here from Stone Soup, and I'm glad you liked my video! I'm going to make a similar video really soon that shows the process I use to make these Chapel strips! And good luck at the Art & Writing Awards. I'd be really interested in reading your book sometime! I'm actually turning one of the books I've written into a graphic novel, which you'll be able to read pretty soon. Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting!
Emma 11/18/11 responder
Oh, that sounds neat, I'll be sure to watch it. What gave you the idea for all the Chapel stuff? Or was it just one of those super-random ideas that everyone gets? Haha. A couple years ago I made (NO idea where I got the idea) a little comic book called "Joe and Pierre". Recently I started working on it again, and I'm hoping to make them WAY better than they were when I first started working on them.
Emily13 11/19/11 responder
Chapel started out as a random doodle, and then I expanded her into my line of comic strips and greeting cards!
Emma 11/19/11 responder
 
So wonderful! This is one of my favorites yet.
Dean 11/14/11 responder
Aww, thank you so much! I'm glad you like this comic -- I'm really proud of how it turned out!
Emma 11/14/11 responder
 
Ouch...
Ginny Weasley fan 11/12/11 responder
I know, right? Must be pretty painful for Chapel's dad!
Emma 11/12/11 responder
yeah. and Chapel too, it looks like.
Ginny Weasley fan 11/12/11 responder
Yup. I wanted to make her look pretty crappy in this strip because that's how people look when they get out of surgery!
Emma 11/12/11 responder
 
this is a redo with color?
kevix 11/12/11 responder
A redo with color? Um, no, I'm not sure what you mean.
Emma 11/12/11 responder
 
I had my wisdom teeth taken out years after i had my braces taken off. It was down right strange. When i got into the dentist chair, the last think i remember was they were giving me some "gas" to wipe the pain away. that was the LAST thing i remember of that day. it felt like a movie cut to the next day when my memories kicked back on and i was back home on my couch, 3 Micky D's large chocolate shakes (2 of them finished, i guess by me) playing my PSone with a REALLY sore jaw but other wise fine.

For the life of me, i completely lost all my memories for 24 hours! I was told i was fully awake and such, but i don't know what i did then! it is really scary what dentist can do to people.

thankfully that was before Youtube was around or it could have been even more embarassing.

lastly, did you mom really slap your dad for petty things that he does Emma?
Dr. Taxil Necrobane 11/11/11 responder
She only slapped him to wake him up.
Emma 11/12/11 responder
right.....

i assume smelling salts were not on hand at that time.
Dr. Taxil Necrobane 11/12/11 responder
on another idea. does your dad (or his side of the family) have heart problems? now that i think about it, his fainting might now have anything to do with his seeing blood. i hope he's seen a doctor about it. I am also assuming that your dad is in his late 30's mid 40's now.
Dr. Taxil Necrobane 11/12/11 responder
Nope, he's ancient, he's in his late 50's. And there's no history of heart problems.
Emma 11/13/11 responder
well, that is some what better, but not by much. I will still recommend that he goes to his cardiologist and/or neurologist ASAP if he hasn't done so already. he could have had a defibrillation problem or even a minor stroke. but i was not there and i am just guessing right now from what you have told me.

I hope he is doing alright now.
Dr. Taxil Necrobane 11/13/11 responder
 
Wow read through all that you have ( love the halloween one Taris is win all the way i happen to be a ten fan gal my self. ^.^) And i hope to see more of your cute cleverness! with much regards and support!
Nichelle M The Time Traveler 11/11/11 responder
Yay, thank you! It's great to hear that you read through the archives. :) And a fellow Ten fangirl to boot! Awesome.
Emma 11/11/11 responder
How did you find my strip, by the way? Just curious! :)
Emma 11/11/11 responder
i found out by stone soup...sorry if you weren't asking me. btw, you could set 2 records: most things published and best 14-year old author EVER!!!!
miss stupid 11/13/11 responder
AWWW thanks a lot! There are people who've had more Stone Soup things published than I have, though. But still -- that's incredibly flattering!
Emma 11/13/11 responder
ah well i found you Throug Dominic Deegan. and..well i saw the Tardis picture of her and thougt' OMG TARDIS!' and clicked.
Nichelle M The Timetraveler 11/18/11 responder
Oh, that's great! So awesome that fellow Whovians have come from the TARDIS ads. And it's really helpful to know that you liked the ad, so thank you! :D
Emma 11/18/11 responder
Well if i see anything DW related i click and look. im kind of totally wacky for the show. dressed as ten one year for halloween. twas fun, only six people got the costume however...
Nichelle M The Timetraveler 11/21/11 responder
That's better than I did when I dressed as Ten, nobody recognized me! Still, that's awesome that you dressed up as him as well.
Emma 11/21/11 responder
 
I love the wide-eyed panel. Great work!
11/11/11 responder
Thank you! I especially like that panel as well, I'm sure my expression in the moment was pretty similar!
Emma 11/11/11 responder
emma i wish you were still published on stone soup. you're SOOOOO good at writing. chapel is way different from your other stories. i like chapel though. :)
miss. stupid 11/13/11 responder
Aww, thanks a lot! I had a lot of fun writing and drawing for Stone Soup, and I'm glad that people enjoyed my stories while I could get them published there! Chapel is a lot different from my other stories, but I also have some more story-based projects I'm developing for the future! :)
Emma 11/13/11 responder
awesome! btw great strip and i know this is stupid but i bet i'd faint too. i hate blood!!! it's yucky with a capital Y!!!
miss stupid 11/13/11 responder
Really? Huh, I've never minded blood. I have a pretty strong stomach I guess! My best friend faints not only at blood but just being in a hospital, though!
Emma 11/13/11 responder
I don't mind blood either, but a couple months ago when I had blood drawn? I was a ghost! And a few weeks after that when I had my finger pricked, I almost threw up. (Today I had my blood drawn again, though, and I was fine. Woot woot for getting used to it!) I don't mind seeing blood, but when they're taking MINE?... :P
Emily 11/18/11 responder
I hate seeing your own blood once they've taken it. It's so creepy. I say blood belongs in your body, not in a plastic syringe with a needle on the top....
Ginny Weasley fan 12/24/11 responder
i probably wouldn't go that far, but i do not like the taste of blood, either--my bf actually LIKES it!!!
miss stupid 11/14/11 responder
that was me, btw
miss stupid 11/14/11 responder
I don't really like the taste of blood, either.
Emma 11/14/11 responder
i know, right? that's why i hate loosing teeth!!! once it's over, though, it's awesome.
miss stupid 11/14/11 responder
Oh, I lost all my teeth a LONG time ago, so I don't really remember it! But yeah, whenever I get a bloody nose I taste blood, which is awful!
Emma 11/14/11 responder
when i get bloody noses, i taste bloody boogers. (yuck! i know!)
miss stupid 11/14/11 responder
Same here! :D
Emma 11/14/11 responder
i HATE having bloody noses. :(...
miss stupid :) 11/15/11 responder
so do I.... once I had a bloody nose and there was blood all over me. I freaked out.
Ginny Weasley fan 11/18/11 responder
I get bloody noses all the time, so I guess I'm used to them! One time I was walking home with a HUGE package from the post office and suddenly I had a bloody nose. It covered my entire face, splattered on the UPS box, and got over all my clothes. I looked like I'd been punched in the face!
Emma 11/18/11 responder
uck. one time i had a bloody nose and it trickled around my mouth and down my chin. it looked like i had been drinking blood!
miss stupid 11/19/11 responder
Oh wow.
Emma 11/19/11 responder
do u believe in vampires?
miss stupid 11/20/11 responder
nope, I do Believe in ghosts (i have ran into many of them) and Liches. vampires are over hyped and can not exist in real life. Ghosts and Liches can exist.
Dr Taxil Necrobane 11/30/11 responder
oh...well, don't laugh, okay? but...i am a vamp.
miss stupid 12/11/11 responder
JUST KIDDING!!!! (Duh.)
wacko#1 1/16/12 responder
I believe in ghosts too. But liches? They just don't really...... it just doesn't seem possible that they are real, I guess.
Ginny Weasley fan 12/24/11 responder
Lucky you, losing all your teeth. : P
Ginny Weasley fan 2/19/12 responder
Ugh. I hate losing teeth when its happening- but most of all I hate loose teeth. Especially when they're so loose it's really freaking you out. (grips shirt to loose canine and whimpers) Sometimes I wish teeth would just get loose overnight, fall out and be done with it. Then you wouldn't have to deal with all the pain. :(
Ginny Weasley fan 2/19/12 responder
I don't know if I would faint, but I would still freak out. Maybe scream. Yes, so like me....
Ginny Weasley fan 12/24/11 responder
 
Hi, sweetie, howre you feeling? Im okay, mom. Hi, dad. Hi, honey? Oh, is . . . is that . . . BLOOD?! THUMP! DAD?! Hes fainted! Sam, get it together! SLAP!

Mom? I think you can stop now. Please Chapel, this is the only time I get to legally hit your father. AND THATS FOR EVERY TIME YOU LEFT THE TOILET SEAT UP!
