Fur, scales, fins, or feathers, everyone has a story!

Aww, Feathers!

Transcript

We see the outside of a school building followed by a closeup of a pencil filling in the last bubble on a multiple choice exam. Ine, a young adult green anthro lizard with faded purple stripes on his face and a crest of red feathers on his head, grins down at the exam and thinks, "Done! Last test of the semester is out of the way!" Looking very pleased, he walks towards the door. "Man, I am so ready for the summer break!" At a desk in the next room, a bored looking buck hands Ine's exam back to him and says, "This test is only about half-done." "Huh?" Ine says, looking concerned. "Did you check the back of each page for more questions?" the buck asks. Ine worriedly flips over the page and sees that it's full of more math problems. He grimmaces and exclaims, "Aww, feathers!!"

Behind the Scenes

Will someone please explain to me why I used to do my rough sketches in such a weird shade of red? 😂

I think I remember at least one time in the dreaded Testing Center when I got partway through a test only to realize I had filled in the bubbles for the wrong questions, and had to completely wear out an eraser in order to fix it!

This page was actually added a year or so after the comic had started. Originally, the story began with the Q&A pages at the very beginning, followed by the first page of the Housing Sitch chapter. I added this new page 1 in preparation for printing the first book. I thought it would be a much better hook than the informative but less attention-grabbing Q&A page format. I think it worked quite well!
