Rain
Comic 1075 - Surreal
Author Notes:
It's a bit subtle, but if Brother Arthur seems sad to hear Rudy hasn't seen his sister in a couple weeks, it's because he is. That's something that would hit close to home for him. It's going way back, but one might recall Arthur has a younger brother he hasn't seen in years too. The circumstances are much different though, and fortunately, Rudy at least seems pretty sure he'll see Maria again soon.
This page probably raises a lot of questions about Maria though. All I can say about that is that there's one more page left in this chapter. Let's see where this goes.
And don't forget that following this Friday's post, I will be on working hiatus until September (buffer catch-up, Volume 5, other projects, etc). It's going to be a busy time for me, but I won't just completely leave you hanging for months. I'm hoping to have lots to share with you during that time. So I hope you'll look forward to that. ^_^

Heh. Duly noted! ^_^
Also, if it's been a few weeks, going back now would be very hard, scholastically speaking. She seemed on the ball enough that getting a GED would probably be pretty easy for her, so she's probably planning on going that route. Depending on the particulars of the area, it's possible that the GED will only be an option a couple of times a year, roughly at semester's end. As such, she would probably be busy studying up for her GED right now. Because, while she seems smart enough for the GED to be doable, she doesn't seem so smart for it to be a complete cakewalk, and part of her being smart enough for it to be doable is her knowing when it's time to study.
The thing about Maria and her father, though, is that she's 18, so he legally can't do anything like send her to camp. And even if her mother isn't there to protect her, Brother Arthur would back her up, since he seems to be understanding into the matter of why she wouldn't want to be around her father.
Regardless, I don't really blame her for not wanting to go back, and getting her GED is definitely a viable option. Maybe we'll see soon what she's decided to do.
It's not like a LAW BARRIER would drop the instant Maria's father tries something.
On another note, this comic is amazing.Keep up the good work!
The desire to give Rudy encouraging cuddles while watching gay movies refuses to leave me.
Darn fanboy genes. >.<
Speaking of which, I wonder if I can get a reprinted diploma from my university with my new name on it? I know they'll change the name in my official transcript, but don't know about getting a new sheepskin. I don't know if my old high school will do either, but that matters very little since it was almost 40 years ago I graduated high school.
Rain is 5'4". I don't remember if I shared it here, but I made a height chart a few years back, which you can see here:

At the very least things have been changed in such a way that they won't be undone. "The Status Quo has left the station please see the ticket booth to rearrange your travel plans."
I'm nervous and also excited.
