Second chance (Sandrine/Sylvio)

[raspberryrain]

I have come to feel like my characters' stories are progressing offscreen, even if I'm not telling them in the comic.

I had a challenge to write a comic about second chances, and I realized that I'd already broken up Sandrine and Sylvio in my head, so I'm writing about them getting back together. Which will be out of order with future strips set last July.

It's funny that this only occurred to me working on this strip. I know that Italians usually spell that name “Silvio,” and Sylvio is Italian-American. But I've had his name as “Sylvio” in my notes, so I kept that for consistency, even though it now suddenly looks “wrong.” He just spells it with a y, OK? Like Sylvio Giardina.

Looking at it hours later, I wish I'd varied his hand positions more. When I was looking it over before submitting it, I was basically scanning for typos. Oh, well.
