House Shopping 2

Transcript

Ine, still seated at his laptop, looks disappointed as his mom smiles and places a hand on his shoulder and says, "Tell ya what. We'll pay your first two months rent. But after that you need to pay your own way, okay?" Ine sighs and says, "Great, now I've got to find a job and an apartment." Mom shrugs and smiles, saying, "Welcome to the real world, Hon." Ine looks up and says, "I know Mom, but I've already got a very busy schedule." He gestures towards his laptop screen and continues, "I'm taking a lot of classes. I didn't want a job to cut into my study time." Mom smirks and begins to walk away while saying, "You mean you didn't want it to cut into your computer time." Ine glares after her, looking grumpy.

Behind the Scenes

If front-facing-Ine’s head looked like a crocodile in the last page, it’s kind of like a box in this one.

“Welcome to the real world!” Don’tcha just love it when adults say that? And so Ine continues to receive gentle nudges that it’s time to grow up and learn to fend for himself. The job situation won’t resolve itself, but that’ll be addressed in a future chapter!

Fun fact: Ine’s mom’s face in the second panel is what I used for my own mom’s contact photo in my phone for years! While it’s not one-to-one, I do think about my own parents a lot when writing Ine’s parents.
