gURL.com commissioned me to make this comic.

Olivia’s sporting some cute hair! Olivia’s mom is always concerned with price and appearance. That’s her motivation. “Is this normal? Is it expensive?” Olivia ducks and dodges to keep just inside those guidelines, and while everyone can see she’s obviously a goth, she talks such a good game that her mother accepts it as a new normal!

I never went to a dance because I was homeschooled. I was always curious about what they were like. Awkward and silly, I’m sure, but an excellent excuse to buy a foofy skirt.
