Making of "Big Feelings"
🕑 Added 2022-07-02 21:07:44 +0000 UTCA fan tagged me in this fantastic tweet last year, saying it sounded like a Litterbox Comic -she wasn't wrong! I put a note of it away in my files, but I think I must have just recreated someone else's tweet and didn't want to do another so soon. Even though I always get permission from the authors to use their tweets, it still feels a little wrong somehow?
I came across the tweet again this year and couldn't help but picture it in my mind. I decided I'd at least see if the author was up for it (I've had some that weren't) and go from there. She wrote back with her approval while I was suffering from a bout of writers block, so I thought, what the heck! Lets do this! :)
I changed the wording ever so slightly; partly to shorten it and partly because I really wanted him to say "Big Feelings". It's such a classic Daniel Tiger phrase!
The rest was pretty straight forward. In the 2nd panel I changed Vincent from apprehensive to smiling, because I felt the former was giving away the gag. I changed Fran's face slightly in the 1st panel -the kitty mouth just wasn't working for me. At the very last moment I changed the background color. I wanted there to be a cloud of "love" around Fran's head which suddenly vanished at the punchline. By making the background teal it became a lot more obvious.

Glad you enjoy them! They are quite cathartic the write, especially if something has gone wrong! I can reassure myself that I didn't waste time, I was making a more interesting story for you guys! :)

I was wondering if you would still put making of behind the scenes litterbox content like this after the switch. Glad to still see it! Seeing your thought process was one of the reasons I joined :D
