PANEL 1
ROBIN is eating but addressing CARA, MIKE is submissive in the centre, eating his stew quietly
ROBIN
Mike tells me your friend isn't joining us. Ben would prefer you two stick together. I hope you understand the guard is just a precaution
CARA
We won’t be staying long.
ROBIN
Where are you heading?
CARA
...
PANEL 2
ROBIN grabs her bread and dips it into her stew, not making eye contact with CARA. MIKE looks up at her curiously.
ROBIN
Okay. Perhaps at least give me a name?
CARA
I’d prefer not to.
PANEL 3
MIKE grins, ROBIN and CARA look at him in surprise as the mood suddenly changes
MIKE
Oh I get it! You’re a crime fighter right? Like a superhero! That’s why you have to be so secretive!
PANEL 4
ROBIN puts her foot down, CARA tries to continue eating her food, not wanting to stay there for people to ask her questions she doesn’t want to answer. MIKE looks at his mum
ROBIN
Michael! You and your superheroes! What have I said about reading those comics??
MIKE
But…
ROBIN
Please Michael, not another word. I’m not in the mood.
PANEL 5
MIKE is walking away, annoyed/upset, holding a bowl of food, his back turned to everyone as he goes walks away
ROBIN
Where are you going?
MIKE
To my room.
ROBIN
Don’t let me catch you reading those comics. Eat your dinner then straight to bed.

Um, is EVERYBODY there except Mike a flaming jerk?
On the other hand, I really enjoyed the whimsical speech bubbles overlapping the panel boundaries. I’m also enjoying the way the tension is ratcheting up. Welkl done, all. 🙂
They are just a little, er….hard done by? I’m sure they will get better with age :D;
Thanks dude! Yea I prefer doing it like that, not feeling like everything is restricted to the frames considering that life constantly flows into the next moment 🙂 trying to get a similar feel here!
I’m sure the skunk smell will go nicely with the fish 😛
Super Secret Reveal: Mike is right and this has been a superhero comic all along! Who knew?
IT’S A SALAMANDER U_U
*GASPS* Am I that obvious?! DX
I don’t always say how good you are at what you do, because it’s pretty much obvious to your readers. But I’m gonna now – Your work is awesome! Can’t wait for more!
Awwww!!! Duuuuudddeee!!! You’re so freaking sweet XD Thank you so much! It’s all of my readers that really help me keep going >w< you're all so incredibly supportive, something I will never forget! <3
Well, you know, nothing makes people open up and share like making demands while never once making eye contact or even turning to look in their general direction.
She’s such a charmer.
Eye-contact is crossing the line! Hahaha! Well, they aren’t the most social group in the world, I’m sure they have their reasons…
