No. 681: Guest Freddy
Melissa Mendes' Freddy has dignity. She doesn't let the world tighten her shoulder strap. The Freddy dailies are something to behold. I drew this guest strip a few days ago. I probably shouldn't have made it so "weird," but I wanted to draw a blank-eyed taste so plum badly I could taste it all over. Freddy often has great moments where she is hugging various animals and humans and objects and I tried to clumsily pay homage to that. I originally drew this with colored pencils, but I got rid of the color on the computer because it looked all wrong. It looked like a young child colored in a Silly Symphony in the news-pape in 1933, and it faded in an abandoned sandbox hole for generations.
