I wouldn't want to be TOO certain on this, but I'm pretty sure that - outside of comedic TV shows - you don't wear your scrubs outside of the hospital. If you're going to be in the OR, you try to avoid having them uncovered outside of it, too.
(The whole idea is preventing cross contamination - either outside dirt coming in, or inside mess being tracked out... When I was working in only -slightly- clean-room conditions (diagnostic scanning), your "work gear" stayed on-site unless you were having it laundered, and you got changed into it when you arrived...)
Oh don't worry, I knew about that! I just chose to bend the laws of reality a little in order to have an effective comic. Thanks for pointing it out, though!
Wow. I understand that Chapel has never watched TV, but her mother's, well, A DOCTOR, so wouldn't she have been to a hospital at some point?
This one is HILARIOUS!! Great work as usual!
Hi! First of all, sorry that i am commenting so much! second, are these the same strips that are in the books, or is the book a seperate series of comics?
These are the same comics that are in the book -- but the book has some special features you can ONLY get in the book version! And also, NEVER apologize for commenting so much -- I love reading your comments and getting to know you, please, keep commenting! :)
Hey guys, I've noticed there's a lot of new commenters on this site whose usernames I haven't seen before! I'm dying to know where you came from, so please tell me -- did you just discover my comic? And if so, how did you find it? Thanks a lot!
HI! I've never commented before, but I found out about you from Stone Soup. I watched the video of you illustrating a story. I thought you were very talented, so I went to this site! I'm only 10, but I love to write stories and cartoon also!
That's so weird, I came the same way! I'd long been an Emma Capps fan, and when I watched that same video I found this website and fell in love immediately! It's strange how people of all ages (I'm 14!) an backgrounds come together from Stone Soup...
I came the same way as well. Sorry if I've said that before, I tend to lose track of what I have and haven't said in comment boards. (I'm the same age as Ellie.)
I don't use Microsoft Word -- in fact, I don't know any comic artists who do! Some cartoonists do all their work traditionally, but I do a mixture. I draw and ink my comics with traditional pens, then I scan them in and format and color them in a program called Photoshop CS5. The format of the comics is one I created myself. As far as I know, there are very few pre-made formats or websites that do an adequate job -- almost every cartoonist I've spoken with does their own formatting. If you want a more detailled answer or a step-by-step tutorial, let me know!
I see, you might want to try out other comics Miss Sallie. The net has a wide varity of them free to read. My personal favs are (other than Chapel here) "Guilded Age", "Dominic Deegan", "Modest Medusa", "Girl of the Wild's" (that is a Koren web comic, but they do make a translated verion of it) and "Weregeek" to name a few. try them out, you might like them. ^^
Well, we're sticking to costumes of comic book characters...so a Doctor Who costume isn't going to be included in the roster...probably in some later strip I can include it!
Well, as i look back over this week's comic. i felt nostalgic and it took me back in my memories my youth. This is not a confession to the world (my friends and family already know about it), but to you all.
Years ago back when Otakon and Kastuscon were new, i cos-played back then. I didn't have my beard back then, but i cosplayed as a OK cloud strife i guess. I had my buster sword made out wood and it was heavy. ><
I know most of you kids in here where not even BORN when i did it, but there are still a few pics of me floating around the net of me cosplaying. but you'll have to find them your self. ;-)
Cloud Strife wasn't the only cosplay I did. I also did one of the world's biggest DBZ hair. i swear it was over a story tall, thank god the place the con was being held at had high cellings. ^^;;;;
I just read your "Seventeen Across" story on the stone soup website....It just so happened that the one issue with that story is the issue i don't have! Anyways, GREAT story! And actually, you read it out loud nicely (i listened to you read it!)!
I'm SO glad you like it, and I'm super flattered that you listened to the audio recording, as well. I love reading out loud so I'm pleased you enjoyed it! What was your favorite part about the story?
I shall email it to you! Be warned though, it is about 17 pages long with the double spacing Stone Soup requires for submishions... Can i email it to you in a atached file? i think it's a .doc
Yup! I received it already, but haven't had a chance to read through it yet -- I'll email you back when I do! I can tell it's going to be a GREAT story, I glanced at the beginning and I love the premise!
Pleeeaaassseee have another Chapel drawing contest! I just found out about The Chapel Chronicles recently so I was a bit late for the one you had a while ago. Pleeeeaaaassssseeee!!!!
I didn't get too many submissions last time -- but if there's enough interest, I'll definitely do another one! Would anyone else want to enter? Basically it's a contest of who can draw Chapel the best!
No problem -- thank YOU for considering possibly entering a contest! Since it seems like there's so much interest, I'll let you know when I've posted official rules and deadlines -- and there WILL be a prize!
For everyone curious about my new puppy, here's all the info! As I mentioned below she's a breed called a Daisy Dog, which is small and hypoallergenic. Our puppy's name is Sunny, and she's currently 9 weeks old -- and a teensy 2 pounds 15 ounces! So far, she's doing SUPERB at adjusting to her new home and has taken to the family perfectly :)
I posted a picture of her on the Chapel facebook page, which you can click on above! She's adorable.
OH MY GRYFFINDOR SHE IS SO ADORABLE!!!
and she fits her name too! AWESOME! I'm so happy for you; I have three dogs and I can't imagine not having them, so I'm happy you can finally get one <3333
all i will say for now i am NOT a medical doctor. I am not licienced to do surgery and what not. i do know some about medical topics however. that is all i will say about that for now.
I hope you are mentally ready to be in it for the long haul with your new dog. A large breed dog rarely makes it past 10 years of life. I can say most small breed of dogs (like yours) can easily live well past 20 years or more if taken care well.
I have lived with pets nearly my whole life. I loved all of my pets. i hope you will love your Sunny with all your heart and be willing to make changes in how you live your life.
oh, wait... is Sunny your parent's pet, or yours Miss Emma?
Sunny is the family's pet, but I'm her primary caretaker! And don't worry, I'm VERY ready to be in it for the long haul. Since I'm the one in charge of Sunny's feeding and training, I've already totally overhauled my usual sleep schedule in favor of hers, and have been a fanatic about feeding her and taking her out at the appropriate times. I don't really mind -- I find it intrinsically valuable.
WAIT! WHAT!?!? A puppy? Mrs. Marie, you must tell us more! why is Miss Emma on a plane and where did she get it as well as why is she getting a puppy? i thought you were allgeric to dogs.
My mom answered this below, but: we got a special small kind called a Daisy Dog which is hypoallergenic, because my dad is allergic. The breeder for the special breed is in Detroit, so we went there!
I looked them up and went on her website...the dogs seemed really adorable, even though the breeder did seem a tad bit...protective, I guess.
Best wishes with your new puppy! TELL US HOW CUTE IT IS
right now, I'm not even going to try to guess what Chapel will cosplay as. i want Miss Emma to surprise me. besides, i already guessed chapel would be in a batman suit. >)
oh yea, I really like Rorschach (from Watchmen) costume. on general dislikes, i don't like all the spandex based costumes.
check out Emma T Capps new web comic SUNNY,
The League of Fonts
THE LEAGUE OF FONTS is where typefaces are born. Every time a font is created in the world, it manifests as a living, breathing, Font – human for all intents and purposes, but unable to age or die unless their typeface falls into disuse. They live together on the League of Fonts, which serves as a secret island hub, bustling corporation, and home. It’s a world full of its own internal intrigues like any office, and Times New Roman is its powerful CEO. He’s got a lot on his plate lately: planning the League’s famous Decennial party, struggling with modern technology, and hiding his embarrassing addiction to the Twilight movies. Times New Roman is confident he can keep everything under control…but what’s an old font to do when a young boy named Louis Pepping accidentally stumbles onto the secrets of the League?
Find out every Wednesday!

My dogs are Kiki, Emmy, and Mr. Sparky. My dad named the last one after an electric company he saw n a commercial XD
but i've had my current dog for nearly 12 years, and she is a good dog.
I have lived with pets nearly my whole life. I loved all of my pets. i hope you will love your Sunny with all your heart and be willing to make changes in how you live your life.
oh, wait... is Sunny your parent's pet, or yours Miss Emma?
I don't recognize either of the other costumes, although the second one resembles Han Solo. :3
