Years ago, I started doing comics about Jade here because I wanted to encourage folks to run for office. I now wish I had been doing more with that concept.

Your country needs help, whatever country you live in. You don't have to be a genius, you don't even have to have a law degree. We all need public servants who care enough to try to make things better, who are humble enough to learn to see beyond their assumptions. Lawmakers, public attorneys, administrators, civil engineers, police chiefs—these are all just persons, and maybe you could be one, or you could help someone else get into such a position.

87 minutes ago: OK, so maybe I’m on a holiday from art a little bit.

Now:

OK, I did a quick render.

USA Congressional elections are tomorrow!

Another Comix Warriors submission, for the theme "Style."

There’s a sort of (ironically reversed) meta quality to this strip. I go through this process of trying to dress my characters when I set up a scene. Last week, I guess the cardigan didn’t occur to me; and I wasn’t happy at that time with the vest (waistcoat); and rather than hunting down a good jacket, I just left Jade in this blouse without a jacket, jewelry, or anything.

So I did a strip about trying on different things and not liking them, and so I altered the vest/waistcoat and cardigan enough to be presentable.

And now I wish I’d taken the time to do that for last week’s strip, because they turned out to look better than the blouse by itself. e_e

This sort of built up over several days. Since I have eight panels done, I'm posting it.

Lori's pretty rude, but I think she's mostly got the right attitude.
Ellery was going to be in it, but she may get a whole strip of her own on this theme.

Characters:
Ozzy Obarski (with Jeannette in background), Jade Wilcoxson, Domingo (who came to the States for school), Jessi (first appearance thereof),
Lori (being sassy), Loren Runyon, LaFaonne, and the artist.

Sexy renders week! And I forgot to repost the first one here yesterday, but here it is now, behind a cut for sex and nudity:
