Dumbing of Age is full of roommates who are foils, so I wanted at least one pair of roomies to be so similar that its bad for both of them. So meet the two social recluses, Amber and Dina. Here’s some folks who won’t be leaving their room very often. Amber will be faceplanting herself into WoW while Dina will be too busy obsessing about dinosaurs to chip away at her crippling social phobias. Aren’t they a fun, largely invisible pair. They enable each other.
Now that the last few stragglers have shown up in Dumbing of Age proper, I can finally show you my Big-Ass Cast lineup image. I started with Joyce on the right and moved my way left as I redesigned folks. The folks on the right are obviously the main characters, but as you get to the left it gets a little more roughshod as I filled in holes I realized I’d left as the strip actually began. Why’d I even bother drawing Rachel, anyway? I don’t have any immediate plans for her, and she looks exactly the same as I’ve always drawn her. Oh well.
Oh, hey, and maybe at some point I should draw in a Jason.
