Boy does this bring back some very old memories, Emma. I can hear your Aunt Tina now - and she would have loved this. Was always a procrastinator myself - so many more interesting things to do in life before chores.
I've been so busy with work lately I've neglected all my webcomics. Come back to find a gorgeous site redesign here! I really like the colour scheme, the pale green is lovely, and allows the bright colours of the comic to stand out beautifully. Did you design it?
I'm so flattered that you read it all! Hmm, I get your point about the Mom, but for me, I always stress the vowel sound when speaking like Chapel's doing. What about other people? How do you pronounce words when you're whining to your parents? ;)
Written "Moooooom" it might be interpreted as "M-ooh-m" (ooh being a closed central rounded vowel or the ü "umlaut" symbol). I find I've done both "M-ah-m" where ah (near-open central vowel or the short a) sound is the extended sound and "Mom-mm" where the nasal m sound is the extended one.
Those aren't perfect replications of the intricacies of the sounds made only the important parts (for example the "M-ah-m" one is sort of a "Mah-uhm" and that isnt perfect either). I realize this is my american english (and more specifically californian english) way of stressing the word. I don't have any idea how or if it is different in british english or australian english ( <- is it actually referred to as such?).
Oh, Fred...
Hey, Emma, I don't know if you still get Stone Soup, but my illustrations are in the next issue! I thought I would tell you just so you could keep an eye out...they are for a story called I'm Home.
Oh wow! I still do receive Stone Soup and will DEFINITELY look out for your illustrations! I'm so glad you told me, because otherwise I might never have known to keep an eye out. I'm excited to see!
I tried watching that. Couldn't really get into it. The actress who plays Moaning Myrtle in Harry Potter (sorry can never remember her real name) is hilarious!
Wow.. this is the second time this year I've influenced a great web comic. Thank you! -with nervousness-
And I have a feeling that either Fred will beat her, as usual, or he isn't folding laundry at all. That it's a corrupt use of mind games played by her mother to convince her to do chores. -Insert something about past experiences here-
P.S. I was reminded of some friends that went to Kumoricon a few years ago as Sonic/ Rose, and said they were Hedgehogians, so my last comment would be The Hedgehogian Candidate (Manchurian Candidate.)
Can't wait for your post next week!
OMG! for ONCE here is a game Chapel can beat Fred at! thank you Miss Emma, i am laughing so hard right now. i needed that for today. I have Grand Jury duty today, and having a smile on my face helps alot.
Ah, well I'm SO happy I was able to make you laugh when you have Jury Duty! And we'll have to see what the outcome of next week's strip is...who knows if Chapel will REALLY be the best laundry folder?
well i would say fred had a head start on the folding. hard to catch up i would say.
Grand Jury Duty came and went. I've been doing it for years, it's still kinda sad in a way. if we didn't have a drug problem, we really wouldn't have much in a way of a crime problem.
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!
One (minor) quibble, though ... unless Chapel's mother is of the bovine persuasion, "Mommmmmmmmmmm" may be more appropriate than "Moooooooooom".

hehe sorry for my extended absence I haven't been checking up here in a while...I blame my new twitter.
