#77 “Do You See Me?”
Oh look; feels.
Yes, we return to the past yet again! I wonder what everyone will get up to this time?
Some of you will be happy to note that I’ve gone back and added captions to certain key pages giving a clear notion of what time frame the proceeding pages fall into. It should hopefully remedy any confusion from here on out.
That’s a loaded question, it all depends on your perception of good and whether or not being a “good girl” is a good thing to her people.
Heh, well, she certainly doesn’t seem to enjoy that perception everyone seems to have of her. We’ll see how Tim deals with this next week! XD
he deals with it by taking of his pants :p
DAMMIT GRAYSON CHANGE YOUR NAME TO Carl or something…..I’m the only Grayson
If you’re the only Grayson allowed around here, why don’t you use it as your username? I like my name and I’m not going to change it. Please accept it, and move on. It’s not like we share the same last name.
YOU’RE A BIG FAT PHONEY
YOURE BOTH FAAAAKE
Her face is the second panel, though. She looks like she is ’bout to stap him, or something like that.
She’s been standing there in the dark for awhile debating whether to wake him up. This is a real test for her human friend.
Shadow is a good girl (and she knows the reason why).
She really is… but she doesn’t want to hear that right now.
Looks like the talk with Mother got to her.
Quite possibly! 😉
I’m hoping that he has the presence of mind to ask her what’s wrong.
Heh, that was the first thing he did! XD
I mean in response to her question about being “good”.
Easy question! You’re a good girl because you’re a bad girl to your people because you’re a good girl to Tim because you’re a bad girl with your creepy sock sniffing infatuation with him because you’re just a good girl who is lonely.
Oh, you fell asleep…
Heh. That pretty much sums up the situation!
Gah !
I’m just waking up, and I’m getting attacked by wild feels ! I can’t resist them in this state :c
😀
Well, I think she’s a good girl, I just don’t know what that means in Monster circles
Well, she’s certainly doing bad things, but ultimately is a good person at heart.
Back to where page 72 left…
Great !!!
The longer it takes to come back to the present…
The longer the story last 🙂
Indeed. This chapter should be the last childhood flashback though, then I won’t have to deal with some readers confusion (?) anymore.
Well… I think you promised us some early teenage years as well…
but with your newly added timeline “readers guide” when you timeshift that should be history 🙂
That’s getting to deep to quick………imma gonna goa cry…..a
I totally agree with that comment. Also you’re handsom and deserve a medal
Haha, okay now! XP

You’re good in your badness, Shad.
True dat!
I think that deep down in her monster heart, Shadow knows that she´s a good girl.
She’s certainly a good person.
It’s funny how often they say to me, ” Jane?
” Have you been a good girl? ”
” Have you been a good girl? ”
And when they have said it, they say it again,
” Have you been a good girl? ”
” Have you been a good girl? ”
I go to a party, I go out to tea,
I go to an aunt for a week at the sea,
I come back from school or from playing a game;
Wherever I come from, it’s always the same: ” Well?
Have you been a good girl, Jane? ”
It’s always the end of the loveliest day:
” Have you been a good girl? ”
” Have you been a good girl? ”
I went to the Zoo, and they waited to say:
” Have you been a good girl? ”
” Have you been a good girl? ”
Well, what did they think that I went there to do?
And why should I want to be bad at the Zoo?
And should I be likely to say if I had?
So that’s why it’s funny of Mummy and Dad,
This asking and asking, in case I was bad, ” Well?
Have you been a good girl, Jane? ”

Sorry. This is what popped into my head. Anyhow, to answer her question, it depends on what you mean by “good girl”. She is certainly both good, and a girl. But her mistake is trying to fit herself to a label, rather than the other way around. Shadow is as Shadow is, and if the best way to describe Shadow is “a good girl”, then that’s okay, and if it isn’t, that’s okay too.
That’s quite a tricky question there.
“good girl” is a phrase that can hold different meanings, depending on the situation, the person who said it and the person who it is directed at. In Shadows case, she probably isn’t a “good girl” since it was her “Mother” who called her one and she doesn’t know that Shadow is breaking quite some rules of her world.
But she is a good person… a weirdo at times, but a kindhearted, cute one XD
She is probably just doubting herself since she can’t be open about everything and has to wear a mask (figuratively) in the presence of most of the other monsters. But we all have things we don’t just show everyone. It’s normal, it’s part of life and it’s neither good nor bad at all.
I’m really curious how Tim will react to this.
I like the shading you did in the first two panels. It fits the serious mood quite well.
Thank you! I like it a lot, too.
