Mess You Up: Page 22
And thus concludes the first Chelsea and Millie story proper!
Thank you all so much for coming over to take a peek at the site and a read through the comic, and I’m sure I can speak for Tom as well when I say we’re both very grateful for you taking the time to do so. We hope you feel it was worth your time. The next story starts up next week if ya did.
Also, if you enjoyed it please tell your friends about it if you would be so kind. Help bring ’em over to our side. Then revel in the pleasure you most certainly deserve in laughing snidely at them when they fall for your nefarious scheme and thus suffer the ineluctable consequences of you luring them here.
Assuming you have comic-reading friends, of course. Or friends at all. Surely you have some friends, right? I mean, even I have friends, and I live on the moon.
Drawing, colouring and lighting that multi-layered mélange-mountain of towering gallimaufry is the kind of thing that makes me giggle to myself multiple times during its execution at the absurdity of engaging in such an activity.
“What are you up to tonight?”
“Colourin’ up some clutter.”
“Whut?”
I’ve kept pretty quiet about the little visual references sprinkled about in this comic (it’s way more fun to spot them for yourselves without me spoiling things by pointing everything out and thereby insulting people’s nous and therefore being a dick, eh? Heee.) but I assume there are a bunch of us who recognise the homage amongst the hodgepodge that is a certain little Bear, yeah? If not, click on that link and check out one of my very favourite comics, which in it’s way has been an influence on C&M, for sure.
TUNE IN NEXT WEEK for the first page of story number two, For Shadow: an Adventure in Sciamachy. It’s a nineteen-page Jungian nightmare of brawling, sprawling, tall-storied proportions.
And there is not one single page that is set in the attic, thank CRIPES.
Cheers all!

Please don't
If this was Clover in the height of her Miss Machine touring days, she’d be proud of her girls for such disarray. It’s quite an artistic statement! Of course, from a maternal point of view, this simply wont do. Let us pray our heroes make it out of this one OK.
The biggest question of though…..what in the world is in that safe?
Anywho, Max said it best up there, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for reading the first chapter of “The Sequential Adventures of Chelsea & Millie!” We really hope you dug, we’re pretty proud papas. It’s been such a long road to get here, but now that we’ve arrived, it feels good. Very very good.
And if you liked this, you’re gonna love chapter 2, “For Shadow,” starting here next Wednesday! BOOSH!
What’s in the safe… hmmm… I dunnooo.
Susie Salmon?
Keep on keeping on, guys! How many episodes will there be?
P. S.: dat Muuuurrrcan flag, hahahahaha! US is a mess indeed.
Ha! Glad somebody has picked up on that.
Though the best joke on this page is my reply to Tom’s comment.
*dark laughter*
C&M is an open-ended, indefinitely-running comic. An ending for it is quite some way away (Tom and I haven’t yet even begun to think up how it will eventually end).
We have a number of scripts written for storylines after the currently-running one, though we will be taking a hiatus for awhile after the current story has completed its online run.
That’s the Unitedstatesian way: they’re proud of everything they do, no matter how dumb or bad.
You two haven’t even planned the ending, wow. So it’s a sandbox, pretty much. You don’t say “this, then that, then that”, you just play in the universe for as long as it remains amusing. I should try that in a universe of mine, heh.
That’s a great way of putting it Lucas. It’s certainly a fun universe for us to play around in.
We do have thematic elements and over-reaching arcs from story to story, but it’s not like AotE was with a definite ending that things are moving towards.
Eez sandbox, yes.
