Gasp, it's a black-and-white comic! Will tone when I haven't been flying all day. New York Comic Con starts today - and I'll be at the Dumbrella booth!
Oh, I thought he was supposed to be the MJ wolf from Thriller?

Teen Wolf's letter jacket has a "B" on it for the "Beavers". Michael Jackson's werewolf letter jacket has an "M" on it. Marek is the Thriller werewolf. (Also, Teen Wolf's fur resembles Chewbacca's much more than the Thriller wolf's does.)
I know! It's from the hit Broadwway musical, Grapes! It's the story of a hardworking migrant family who are working in Virginia's wine country. Their youngest son is too bright and creative to be a migrant worker, and spends his days making stories and songs about the things around him, which inevitably means that he doesn't work enough and gets into trouble.
Eve should break into the Grapes song, "Don't Step On Me (Some Grapes Gotta Live)" from the first picking scene.
The black and white makes it more dramatic. (maybe color in the negative space with a very dark screentone) If they're all like this from here on out, it wouldn't feel unnatural

Eve is wrong. Grapes are from something. Nature. She should get an original idea next time.
greg
Grapes are from Fruit of the Loom.
BbStArD
Totally.
Tyrone
You mean like that show on PBS, "Nature?"

Oh who cares!?
He's still hugable.
Maddy

AlexCerati
I totally agree! I do wanna hug him!
KimmQuinn
I thought Marek was a lion :O oh well he's still cute
Qwil man
YOU'RE from grapes!

I graped your mother last night.
bryy

Dedlok
Mike? Is that you?

Faz is victorious.

Eve is the Grapes of WRATH!
sequeirismat
Eve is sour grapes.
Kawshee
Pfffffffffft.
That shouldn't be that funny, but it is.
Fish
That's exactly what I thought!
CLR
Same here.
Pieman
Me three
Scio
The non-referentially costumed female character always goes first.

And here I was certain that Puget Sean was the one who had been put in the story for the sole purpose of dying first.
Actually, we haven't had the "it's just a cat!"-scare yet, so that could still be the case.
Nina
Why is Marek so adorable?
And why is Teen Wolf Marek so much MORE adorable???
(Direct correlation with tiny fangs.)

Gasp! I didn't even notice it wasn't toned until I read your comment 🙁
Scott Hall
Hahaha, awesome! This one made me LOL
Junkman
She's more like sour grapes.
hobotron
Marek's cringe from the door slam (not to mention his wolf ears flattening a bit) is just too awesome.
Squawking popinjay
Good grief!
yousei
I saw that movie xD
Daniel
that podcast joke just about killed me, haha 😀
I love it when comic characters are in costume.
Eldpollard
There is absolutely no raisin that Eve is dressed as grapes.
AJ
Right. So people should really not wine about it and enjoy the story.
Krimson
You two are now officially my favorite internet commenters ever.
Paul1963
It would appear that Eve's costume didn't provide sufficient cushioning to protect her from multiple impacts…
MrJM
"Not everything is from something!"
Tee-shirt?

Leith
And what, a badge that says "Ask Me About where this Tee is from"?
BurntToShreds
She is the sour grapes that fox gets in that one fable.
fluffy
The first four panels of this strip are the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
Higgy
Someone pop all eves grape balloons?
Carl-E
Can't wait till we see her again, deflated balloons draped all over her.
A bunch of raisins…
Niallsb
Why does nobody say sultanas? Does nobody know what sultanas are? They are delicious.
Then again, they're not very punny.
Sergoetgrim
MUST everything we say be a wine or grape related pun?

…BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH!!!
MerchManDan
I'm unsure how, precisely, grapes would be from a podcast.
Anyhow. I strongly fear Eve has met a sticky end at the bottom of the stairs, impaled upon the angry swan.

Grapes halloween costume is in a recent show on MTV called Life as Liz.
pdxwolfe
I am so glad I'm not the only one who's watched this series….. haven't met anyone else who does….. then again…. don't normally watch MTV anymore

Marek's head reminds me of wild things! Cuuuuuute 😀
Confuzzled
Oh Nooo'z I have a feeling she's about to become Raisons from Grapes.
Tessa
I love reading all your comments, because it makes me look at the comic in a different way, notice more details. Also, some of you are funny!!
Kylogram
At least the black guy didn't go first.
Oh wait, there aren't any. This comic is racist.
Please don't take me seriously.
Beyla
I'm actually liking it not being toned. Looks really clean and nice!
Sam N
i wish i read that you were going to be at the Dumbrella booth, i was there today and looked all over the place… i guess just not there Q.Q
Mawshall
I just got done reading everything from comic #1. Yes.
Dare
It was very nice to meet you at Comic Con yesterday, Ms. Gran. Thank you again for your advice and the free sketch.
Reginald Cornishston
Same here! Thank you for the sketch and the pint glass. I'll make good use of it.
Sorry to hear about the Topatoco team's tribulations in Chicago. A thousand plagues on their enemies!
AMS
Eve's not grapes. She's the Mars Lander.
Aristarco
LOL!!! She has Spirit, she seeks Opportunity, she's all a Sojourner!!
Kevina
When will the next update be? Eve is worrying me!
Charlie Lobo
I just realized all those pops must be Eve's grapes!

First thing I thought when I saw the grapes was the outfit from Fancy Nancy's Halloween book. (yes, a kids book)
http://www.amazon.com/Fancy-Nancy-Halloween-Jane-…
Look inside, it's a couple pages in.
I also didn't notice it wasn't shaded until i was mentioned.
dani_dani
Ahuahua I don't like Eve like Grapes. But. I love Marek like Teen Wolf. So cute! XD
chicken
