Happy Halloween! It looks like some of the Princess Pups have nabbed a lot of candy to dump onto the floor!
I had this idea sorted out in my sketchbook over a weekend and went to work on it in Clip Studio Pro (the comic drawing program that I use) soon after. However, the initial idea that I had didn’t land as well as I wanted when I told it to my consultants (consultants, in this case, are my husband James and my kiddo).
The rough layout below is the original idea, where the focus is mostly on TeaCup Pup to start with a traditional Halloween Candy Dump-to-the-Floor. Then she notices Pug Pup, whose been off panel, whose bucket looks normal…until a final panel that shows it’s much higher than physically possible!
James nudged me with the idea that we should see Pug Pup trying to get a handle on a monstrous pile of candy that bursts out of the bucket and that she eventually is on the top of is like some sort of Candy King of the Mountain! So I pivoted and the result was the final version of the comic. 🎉
What a surprise at the end! I burst out laughing! Either version of the comic is great!
