I needed a good reason for Bruno to leave New Orleans, and the desperate request from an uncle and aunt who loathe her seemed a perfect solution.

Here’s me making it even more abundantly clear that Bruno’s aunt and uncle do not like or trust her, and so putting Bruno in charge becomes a set up for conflict. Plus, a good chance for cat to deliver one of his dry one-liners.
Ah, body image. We live in a funny world.
Oooh, pretty background.
I really haven’t watched television since the early nineties. On rare occasion I might get the first dvd or two of a show from the library and watch a few episodes to know what a show is about, but that’s pretty much it.
Mind you, I’m not snobby about it. It’s a personal choice. But when I did watch it when I was younger, I know it created a sort-of fake world around me, and I don’t like how it makes me feel. And I also know I’m a workaholic (be it actual work or play), and since television is “not productive” that this obsessiveness is as much the reason as any. ;)
It is a question of the age, if something feels barren of content and is created by surveys rather than inspiration, does it have worth, either as a piece of art or as something which brings value to our lives.
And like any great questions, it has no answer. Me, I’ve watched Barney and didn’t like it. But many kids would beg to differ.
I like Bruno’s dealing with Amy’s meltdown here. Since she’s making Amy live to her values (no television), it’s nice that she also wants to let her in on the fun (travel) and knowledge (definitions). At least it’s consistent.
Ah, this one was a fun one to draw. So cute! :)
Lenny quickly became Bruno’s home away from home. The place she crashes at or visits when she is traveling or between places. Lenny, bless ‘im, is very accepting of her.
Actually, I think Amy’s observations are (even if innocently) rather sensible.
When writing this, I sat down and really thought, what would I say to questions like these? There is such a desire to keep the young innocent as long as possible, and a lot of the general wisdom is that if you brush off the question — that they’ll forget about it because they pick up from you that it is not important. But I’m pretty sure that is rarely true.
Which, even if I’m right in that, it doesn’t make answering any easier.
