Floating chibi heads, characters with squashed proportions huddled together in a way they totally weren’t actually positioned in... How many cheats and tricks to show expressions and who’s talking will I resort to before this game is over?

Ditzy Susan

Ashley, being huge on ironic / contrary transformations, is totally into the idea of Susan being ditzy for a bit. Rhoda and Catalina, however, are shocked and appalled by the idea of Susan being anything less than brilliant.

Anyway, I tried writing a “ditzy” Susan. I truly did! There was just one problem:

I hated it. I hated it with every fiber of my being. It was the worst.

I’m fine with magic making people act all sorts of weird and out of character, but I realized I didn’t like this sort of thing with Susan beyond it being part of someone’s even less canon fantasy panel, or a quick “what-if” dealie.

This would have gone on for several comics, and this story is in-character enough that I just did not like it one bit.

I know this will disappoint some people (and possibly relieve others). I have, however, thought of a way to have my cake and eat it, too, and I’m betting someone’s going to guess how before the next comic goes up. I personally consider it a far better cake.
