Whitney and ... http://www.peterandcompany.com/2010/03/08/delay-notice-life-happens/ Once I had my shop set up on the sidewalk, the one person who bought more flowers than anyone else from me was the real-life "Chelsea." She would buy at least one flower -- usually multiples, in fact -- each and every day once I moved the bench to the ... http://www.peterandcompany.com/2010/02/22/comic-144-discount-central/ This was essentially my money-making plan as a kid: set up an old picnic bench in the front yard, lay out the clay produce, and wait for the cash to start rolling in. I spent a good several days during the summer just sitting in my front yard, waiting for ... http://www.peterandcompany.com/2010/02/15/comic-143-setting-up-shop/ I'd like to mention that everything that happens in this story arc is entirely true. When I was 11 years old, I really did come up with the idea to sell clay flowers to make some quick cash off my unsuspecting neighbors. The results of this venture will be revealed ... http://www.peterandcompany.com/2010/02/01/comic-142-economic-modeling-clay/ As much practice as Persephoni has had with her new Elite abilities so far, her track record with actually keeping Chelsea safe is sorely lacking.

I didn't get to color this particular page simply due to my having to drive 10 hours from DC ... http://www.peterandcompany.com/2010/01/04/comic-139-when-the-bough-breaks/ Another glimpse into Chelsea's newly-revealed obsession with Peter. Kinda makes you wonder how long she's been watching him like this. An interesting little bit is the cliche "binocular view" effect used up there. In reality looking through a binocular actually looks like a single circle -- because of how your ... http://www.peterandcompany.com/2009/12/28/comic-138-higher-ground/ The pieces of extra wood behind my dad's shed back home were actually the planks that he would use to build the sukkah on the back porch each year.
