Alien Romance, the daily comic strip

Mahalia's friends drop by Daisy's Billiards Club to see her perform, continued.

Drawing large groups of people is always hard! I have to coordinate their outfits from panel to panel. The wedding was the same thing! and this time my pen was running out, too. I need to order new pens. I got new mechanical pencils, so at least that's taken care of. Thank you, starmouse!

I confess I did this to torment Steve a little bit, too. He's as much of a jerk as Jeremy, but we can't get rid of him or use him as a throwaway plot device. So I keep poking at him and hoping he'll redeem himself. I should have gone in and colored his hair purple like I used to do, but I'm feeling overwhelmed. I haven't started tomorrow's comic yet.

Hope your November is off to a good start! What creative thoughts have crossed your minds so far this month?

I like that showing off for friends is a "fair's fair" situation. :D

I've been clearing flowerbeds to spread composted manure over them. Later I'll need to cover them with leaf mulch.

Today I made tomato-basil bread, which turned out quite well -- it's a very bright salmon pink color. \o/

Tuesday will be the Poetry Fishbowl on "Fairies and Fey." I'm looking forward to that.

I would 100% eat salmon-pink bread that tastes like tomato basil.

I meant to look more closely at the poetry fishbowl! If I don't get around to it, I apologize in advance.

It's from this cookbook:
https://www.amazon.com/Hello-365-Tomato-Recipes-Beginners/dp/B085RQNDQQ

This recipe is almost identical, except it adds a can of tomato soup and has a glaze. My recipe just used tomato sauce and 3/4 cup warm water. I admit that I'm intrigued by the glaze.

Ah, here we go:

I think this would be a perfect side dish bread for festive occasions, or for making bread-based recipes like croutons.

Yay! Here is the advance announcement. You can leave an advance prompt there if you're not sure about getting to the fishbowl on Tuesday. That post also describes the project in detail and offers some general ideas on what folks might like to request. Image prompts are allowed; I try to avoid music or video ones. Also I don't mind if other people borrow prompts for their own inspiration.

>>There was mention of a shared world kind of thing, and that's my kind of thing.<<

:D Here is the official Shared Worlds page. These were designed as such from the beginning. Schrodinger's Heroes is the most active.

On top of that, as long as I've had friends, they wanted to play in my storyworlds. So here's the Serial Poetry page. So some of those have had contributions from other creators too. Polychrome Heroics has the most of that, particularly the Berettaflies thread.

dialecticdreamer is the most active contributer and has also crossed over into some of my other series like Frankenstein's Family. She also does two crowdfunding events a month, Magpie Monday (various themes) and Feathering the Nest (always fluff and comfort).

Those pages are updated sporadically, so not everything is on there, but it's enough to give you a good start. And thanks for your interest!
