Hey, girls, we’re back.
on August 27, 2016 at 12:01 amAnd here’s Mandy. Mandy is The Leader, and …. well, okay, that’s her personality. She’s the Leonardo. Everyone else gets to have wacky personality quirks.
I think I designed her with “what do other dudes who aren’t me — and are possibly specifically real-life Hooper — like in a lady,” so I gave her short dyed hair and glasses. Is that a specific early-Aughts aesthetic? I feel like I must have been copying something.
At the time I was really pleased with the sexy-coat-removal-turnaround-smooch series of panels, but right now I am finding it kinda bleh. I think I needed to sell the speed of it more. As-is, the panels feel too detached from each other.
Wait. Mandy has died hair?
In current DoA continuity, she’s gone cyan.

The jealousy is strong within this one.
And here comes Grace, the Posh Spice of the squad.
Is she licking his face in the 4th panel?
Oh jesus, I never noticed the tongue before. This is one instance where I think I prefer the smaller image size.
Feel free to strangle him Homer-Simpson style, Joyce.
I feel like a Grace should be asking “why won’t my hips un-sway?”
No bad Joyce. No more crazy girl from roomies.
Yeah, I don’t know if it was intentionally “What does RL Hoop c. 2001 find attractive?” but it’s a reasonably successful approximation.
That would have been peak MUST KILL LONELY-era…
(also, I like how EVERYTHING MANDY AND GRACE DO MUST BE SENSUOUS AT ALL TIMES. There’s no like, just picking up a box or something, it has to be HIPS COCKED EYEBROWS ARCHED)
I just assumed she was talking off her jacket very slowly because . . . I don’t know, I guess she likes to make a performance of it for attention, maybe.
I always have trouble remembering which one is Mandy and which one is Grace.
