I had SO MUCH FUN doing this strip. I mean, I got to draw Chapel’s bedroom and Chapel herself with her hair down and no glasses! Also, who doesn’t accidentally end up rocking out when they put on some “calming” music to go to sleep? Not me because I can’t dance! I had to use a reference photo for Chapel’s air guitar pose, which makes for a very embarrassing picture of myself that I now have saved on my computer hard drive.

Also, I have lots of references hidden around Chapel’s room! Can you spot all the homages? Leave a comment below! Also, what songs do you like to rock out to?
I've read all the comments, and I swear, no-one's mentioned the Dalek on the nightstand! Very nice :)
Ex-ter-mi-nate!

I just realized chapel has powerpuff girl hands not a judgment I know how hard hands can be to draw but I'm just saying that's cute
Yarin 1/27/12 reply
Oh, I'm actually pretty good at drawing hands in my more realistic style! I just choose not to draw them with Chapel. :D

can't sleep at night Emma? 4 bits of advice that can help you can your parents too.
1: cut back on the caffiene! lord knows we take in too much of it.
2: figure out your ideal amount of sleep. you might not be getting enough or too much bed time.
3: Ditch the I-pod and TVs in your room. trust me on this.
4: Zen out! I know you're still young and have so much energy, you're zipping along at warp 7. but think ahead to tomarrow. you don't want to burn up all that energy and not have it when you need it.

... oh yea.
5: DON'T FEED DAVID TENNANT PEARS! he hates pears! ;-)
1/23/12 reply
Um, I don't see how #5 will help us go to sleep..... but, I'll keep that in mind........
1/23/12 reply
I guess someone missed that Dr. Who episode. -_-
1/23/12 reply
I didn't, I LOVE that episode! Human Nature/Family of Blood is one of the *best* two-parters in Season 3, in my opinion! :D
1/23/12 reply
You are so right it really showed tennants acting skills plus Harry Lloyd was exellent as son of mine
Yarin 1/24/12 reply
The "Rage of the Time Lord" was to me made of 180% pure AWESOME!
1/24/12 reply
Just 20% cooler and we're at 200% needs ponies
Yarin 1/27/12 reply
to quote fluttershy, "yay"
1/27/12 reply
Oh, you're an MLP fan? Awesome!
1/29/12 reply
I will admit that i am a "brony". The new MLP are some of the best i have seen in ages (outside of japan anyway)
1/29/12 reply
You're right! Son of Mine was just so wonderfully *creepy*
1/29/12 reply
Yes, i guess you are right.....
1/24/12 reply
.....but mainly because I actually don't WATCH it very much! I know..... I watch Harry Potter though and Doctor Who? Well, I've only watched 1 and one half of an episode and with the new doctor, who eats fish sticks in custard ( i think!) Blah!!!!
1/25/12 reply
Ah, you have to watch the David Tennant era of Doctor Who! It's fabulous!
2/7/12 reply
I really don't need help getting to sleep, but thank you anyway!
1/23/12 reply
 
I see the EMMA book, the Lady Gaga poster and the Star Trek poster (though I'm not sure ST has anything to do with anything else). I also see the top hat, but only caught that after reading the comments.

I, too, am guilty of dancing alone (strongly stress: ALONE) in my room while music is playing. And I use the word "dancing" very loosely.

Also, thought you'd like to know that I went back and read all the previous Chapel comics. So I am officially caught up on all the strips above. ;)
1/22/12 reply
Oh wow, that takes dedication to catch up on all the strips! Thank you so much! And yes, you caught quite a few of the references. And I agree with using the word "dancing" very loosely -- I'm possibly the world's worst dancer!
1/22/12 reply
You're welcome!

What's the other book on the bed? I can't quite make out what it says...
1/22/12 reply
It's a manga volume from the series "One Piece" by Eiichiro Oda!
1/22/12 reply
 
awesome, as always
how is her iPod floating in the air in panel 3?

loved it.
1/22/12 reply
Since she's moving, the iPod is being jerked around! And thank you :D
1/22/12 reply
.... and then the I-pod hits something and breaks. right? >)
1/23/12 reply
Nope! :D
1/23/12 reply
 
I just looove your Chapel comix! Actually, I first got the link to the site from Stone in the description for your illustration of "Working for Sparkle," I know because I've seen the drawing in Stone Soup.
1/22/12 reply
Awwww, thank you so much! And thanks for letting me know how you found my comics, it's very helpful!
1/22/12 reply
 
Emma, you're just awesome ;) I don't watch Dr. Who (I only know David Tennant from the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie XD) and I have NO IDEA what a TARDIS is, so I only recognize the Lady Gaga poster and Star Trek poster. You rock, girl!
1/21/12 reply
Oh is that who the Star Trek guy's supposed to be? (Well I only know him from Hamlet, so you're ahead of me.)
1/21/12 reply
No, ha ha! The Star Trek guy is the character Spock. David Tennant plays the main character from Doctor Who! The TARDIS is the time machine from that show! :D It's my favorite TV show, and if you like David Tennant, you should totally watch it, even though he's not in it anymore!
1/22/12 reply
Oh my Gryffindor! I didn't think you'd actually respond, Emma! Haha, anyone who's gotten multiple stories in Stone Soup is a celebrity to me ;) Hey- I GUESS THAT MEANS YOU! Yeah, it does ;) You rock, I love your style of both writing and drawing, and NEVER EVER STOP DRAWING EVEEEEEEEEERR!
1/22/12 reply
WOW, that is such an amazing comment! You totally made my day. And of course I'd respond, I love making new friends and chatting with my readers! (I don't consider myself a celebrity by any means, ha ha!) ANYWAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I won't ever stop drawing, so don't worry! :D
1/22/12 reply
Oh Gryffindor you are SO EXTREMELY WELCOME! And yes, if you have comics in stores nationwide, I'd consider you kinda famous. Well, to me anyway ;)
You know what? I think, at sometime tonight, I'll pull out "Seventeen Across" and rewad it for the fifteen billionth time, just for old time's sake ;)
1/22/12 reply
CRAP I meant reread! Ugh, when people I think are awesome respond to me I get so flustered!!!! :DDDDD
1/22/12 reply
Buying and reading all the harry potter books when they were first brought to print in the USA (reading them front to back sometimes with in 48 hours of getting them) = Cover price of book

watching Star Trek TNG when it was brand new on TV = not much in way of energy bill or cabal TV

Seeing the explosion of SQUEE! from the young ones who are now getting what was so good about the good shows and books I was into years ago. PRICELESS!
1/23/12 reply
Nice to know! :D
1/23/12 reply
I should know this, but David Tennant played Barty Crouch, right?

Awesome nickname by the way :)
1/22/12 reply
haha, yes. I am so overly obsessed with that series...there's a hangout room in my house totally devoted to Harry Potter (and a bit of Hunger Games as well).
TEAM PEETA ROCKS! And Fred and George Weasley are my SOULMATES <33333333333
1/22/12 reply
Oh, I almost forgot! You were right, David Tennant does play Barty Crouch, but he plays Barty Crouch JR!!!!
Same thing, whatever :)
I don't even know why I wrote this. I guess I'm just bored and I don't wanna read my social studies book.
1/22/12 reply
Ugh, social studies...guess what I'm procrastinating from right now? Yup...
1/22/12 reply
OH the evil social studies.... precious time devoted to Cortes and Fray Marcos and such. Life is short and who really cares anyway, in my opinion?
1/24/12 reply
Ahhh I actually like social studies, though.
2/7/12 reply
First of all A HANGOUT ROOM DEVOTED TO HARRY POTTER AND THE HUNGER GAMES? Can I come live with you please? Secondly, Team Peeta for LIFE.
1/22/12 reply
You are my new best friend :D
1/22/12 reply
OMG!!!! That rocks!!! You are so LUCKY!!!
1/23/12 reply
Haha thanks! I still need to decorate the walls with something other than Harry and Hunger Games posters...paint maybe? ;) I have this TV stand that has ALL of my souvenirs from the Wizarding World on it, my three wands (Willow, Fred's, and George's), my bookshelf is full of every book or magazine I have that has to do with HP (15 total I think...), and some trading cards. Oh, and I have the Harry Potter Spells app <3
1/24/12 reply
Wow, you are REALLY serious about this which is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!
1/24/12 reply
Haha thanks! You're my new bestie too ;)
1/24/12 reply
Yay! ;p
1/24/12 reply
My friend read the Hunger Games so I know exactly who Peeta Mellark is, and I honestly think he is a bit weird, no offense.
We have a 4 room apartment so (sadly) there will under no circumstances be a HP room in the near future...
But I try best I can by putting pictures of the characters all over the walls! ☺
1/24/12 reply
Peeta Mellark is pure love put into a boy <3
But Fred and George are better <33333333
HARRY POTTER PWNS EVERYTHING!
Well, everything that I've read.
Yeah...
JKR is a GENUIS WOMAN!
1/24/12 reply
So true, so true.....
1/24/12 reply
Yep, he does play Barty Crouch! :D

Hi Emma! I've been reading Chapel for quite a while now but this is my first time commenting. I absolutely love your work ☺
I have also seen your work in Stone Soup, which is great!
Keep writing Chapel comics!

-Ava
1/21/12 reply
Aw, wow! Thank you SO much for reading my comics, and I'm really glad you chose to comment, because I love chatting with people! Is Stone Soup where you first found out about my work? I'd love to know!
1/22/12 reply
 
I love chapel with her hair down too...
She shouldn't put her glasses on her pillow, it doesn't end well. Trust me.

Also, what song is she listening to?
1/21/12 reply
OH MY...

THE HAT FROM THE WONDERLAND MINI-SEIRIES IS RIGHT BELOW HER BEDSIDE TABLE!!!!
1/21/12 reply
Yes, it is! I'm glad you caught that!
1/22/12 reply
Something from the Lady Gaga category?
1/21/12 reply
You're probably right.... ☺
1/22/12 reply
 
Is that a TARDIS on her table? :)
1/21/12 reply
Yes, it is! I'm glad you spotted it!
1/22/12 reply
 
Oh! I see your name on that blue book in the first two panels! I also see the Star Trek poster and the Lady Gaga poster.... I also honestly think that Chapel looks really nice with her hair down...
1/21/12 reply
Well, "Emma" is actually a book by Jane Austen. And doesn't she? I had LOTS of fun drawing her with her hair loose!
1/22/12 reply
Oh! Sorry, I am totally not an expert on Jane Austen, but ask me something about Harry Potter and I might have the answer... I'm more into that kind of stuff.......
1/22/12 reply
I also just want to say that it is TOTALLY AWESOME that we have so many Harry Potter fans here....... Harry Potter ROCKS!!!!
1/23/12 reply
Yes, Harry Potter *is* great...I've been reading the books since I was 4, and I went to every single movie on opening night! :D
1/23/12 reply
Are you kidding me? You are SO LUCKY! I only got into them last December and have read it three times total since then ;) OBSESSION ALERT! Anyway, I went to the last movie on opening night and just went to the Wizarding World in Orlando! IT WAS AWESOME! Butterbeer = TO DIE FOR!
1/23/12 reply
Really? You are really lucky! First, a room devoted to Harry Potter and you also get to go to the Wizarding World?!
1/24/12 reply
Obessions ocassionally pay off ;)
Hogsmeade is amazing BEG YOUR PARENTS TO LET YOU GO!
The Forbidden Journey is the most amazing rie I have ever been on in my life.
1/24/12 reply

:) Awesome strip. I know I end up rocking out in my room...in daylight AND nighttime. *sheepish* I recognize Lady Gaga and Emma (Jane Austen FTW) for certain.
