busybee comics | de^x/dx: 2. Self awareness

Transcript

fluffy: You seem skeptical.
Jen: WHAT is a comic strip?
fluffy: A series of drawings that tell a story, often with humorous intent.
Jen: Duh, I know what a COMIC STRIP is. You said "this is a comic strip." What is "THIS?"

fluffy: This, your existence. Three panels, sometimes a punchline, that sort of thing.
Jen: I don't believe you. Prove it.
fluffy: Look behind you.

[[fluffy squats down and reaches through the border between the second and third panels, while Jen looks behind her - to the right]]
Jen: What? There's nothin' back there.
fluffy: Oh, uh, you missed it.
Jen: What th' heck are you DOING?

Clever.

Is the somewhat "chibi" (pardon the term) style going to continue for the rest of the comic, or is it just for the introduction? Because either way, chibi fluffy is absolutely adorable.

You mean the cartoony style? It's my intent to make the whole comic look this way. That was my original intent with the original run but I was very bad at controlling my art back then.

All about the cute indeed! I like your facial expressions in this one.

Though maybe you should have ended on the punchline, instead of taking it a sentence further.
