I ran into your strip from an advertisement with Chapel in her Tardis costume. This is such a cute comic, I'm so glad to discover it! Keep up the great work, and woot for Doctor Who fans!!

I am suspecting less dishes will be done in part 2 than in part 1.
12/12/11 responder
And you'd be right! But you'll have to wait until Friday to see what actually happens!

Heehee, I tend to sing that song while doing boring stuff! (& I don't make it very far beyond that line)
12/11/11 responder
Yeah, it's a good getting-stuff-done song!

Did you have to redraw every single backround?!

Wow, that must have taken A LOT of work! Great job though!
12/11/11 responder
No, I'm lazy, so I only drew the background once! I'm probably the world's slowest artist, so it took me long enough just to do it one time around, much less four times.

I do find your particular phobia amusing Miss Emma. You seem to have no problem in making those dirty dishes, yet you can not bring yourself to clean up the mess you make. Ironic isn't it? in the end, you will one day be living away from your parents and you WILL have to clean your own plates ON YOUR OWN!

Face your fears Miss Emma, face your fears...
12/11/11 responder
Yes I am well aware I will one day have to clean plates. On the other hand I may just subsist on cup ramen and never have to clean anything.
12/11/11 responder
Ha ha! maybe I should consider it...........
12/13/11 responder
Miss Emma, i STRONGLY advice you not to live off cup ramen for any long term. i tried that myself when i was younger and i started to have health problems. A good home cooked meal that is well rounded will save you so much misery later on. the small trade off of cleaning dishes is well worth it.

I think she will teach Rupert how to do dishes. :D Awesome strip! I love the detail.
12/10/11 responder
I'm not so sure how good Rupert would be at doing the dishes, though! And I'm glad you like the strip!
12/11/11 responder
 
i love the details! (including the background, but the dishes are really well done.) the only thing my mom makes me clean is the utensils, because she tries to spare me the pain of cleaning while i'm not an adult.

Thank you so much! Yeah, I rarely have to do the dishes, and when I do I mostly just help my parents. So I really don't have to do them much.
12/11/11 responder
 
Poor Chapel! I wouldn't want to do that many dishes that are that dirty and gross!
12/10/11 responder
Haha!
Katherine 12/10/11 responder
Me too!
Katherine 12/10/11 responder
Our kitchen looks like this A LOT.
12/11/11 responder
Seriously? Maybe that's why you got the background so well. :p
12/12/11 responder
Probably, yeah! :)
12/12/11 responder
 
I really like this strip! That's exactly how I feel when I have to do the dishes! Haha! I love the background!It is so well drawn!
Katherine 12/10/11 responder
Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun with this one.

Isn't that the 'ultra concentrated' dish soap from 33 strips ago? i thought she learned her lesson with that stuff a long time ago......she's using half the bottle.
12/10/11 responder
I know, that is a bit strange...............
12/10/11 responder
I'm surprised you picked up on that! It is, in fact, the same dish soap. In this case, she's not using AS much, so it should be okay.
12/11/11 responder
yeah... once I took one of those little plastic baseball helmets you get ice cream in at ball games and FILLED it with soap. The result was not positive, considering the state of thew bathroom sink after I was finished washing it out.
12/12/11 responder
That was me, by the way
12/12/11 responder
Plastic baseball helmets? I didn't know those existed....well, considering I've never been to a ball game, I suppose it's hardly surprising.
12/13/11 responder
ha ha.... well when you have my dad for a father, you sort of get used to him droning about how badly the Mets are doing this year just like you get used to waking up with him blasting his precious jazz music all through the apartment.....
12/15/11 responder
HaHa, I was thinking that it was a lot of soap she was using.

I prefer "Singing in the Rain" for my song of choice.

Looks like the number of dishes I had to clean after dinner when I lived in the co-op in college. 20+ people can make a big pile of dishes in a night.
12/16/11 responder
 
I also dislike doing dishes... though I'm not that squeamish...
12/10/11 responder
Oh good, someone else who hates doing dishes! And it's weird that I'm so squeamish, because I'm not squeamish about ANYTHING else!
12/10/11 responder
I don't have to do the dishes yet because I can't reach into the sink that far....... sadly that is soon to change.
12/10/11 responder
i don't have 2 do dishes!!! (or not yet, anyway)
12/11/11 responder
I don't really have to do them...because mostly I can get out of it. I'm pretty terrible when it comes to chores.
12/11/11 responder
I probably could get out of it too.....that homework excuse would probably work for me.
12/13/11 responder
i have 0 chores. who has the most chores? think you have a lot of chores? enter YOUR number of chores in the MOST CHORES contest! (with no prize.)
12/18/11 responder
