Description
My computer ran out of color this week. Sorry for any inconvenience that may have caused.The Daycare is a continuous source of inspiration for me, and this strip is no different. People have on numerous occasions suggested to me that the dialogue in the pokemon centers can be taken in many ways besides one, which I feel is an idea which have been processed well enough . The daycare, on the other hand, not as much.
I've been meaning to get this strip done for a long time, almost as long as my Ditto strip , but only now I feel it's polished enough to release into the wild. I've even begun to believe the idea, to an extent. If the debt cannot be paid, the stored pokΓ©mon will remain, further increasing the debt. Only one daycare can be found in each region, thus maintaining a monopoly of the service. Species are being bred behind closed doors while the official owners feign ignorance about the spontaneous occurrence of eggs in their premises.
They're a shady bunch. That they are.

Actually the black and white color scheme suits the comic well

Have you seen the comics called Shady with shadow kick? It pops out of my head.

Β I surprises me that battles don't break out in the daycare from time to time. "You won't give me back my Ditto and Voltorb? How'd you like to say that to my Noivern and Magcargo?! Or I can just pay you back later? It will only take several battles."

Pretty much how I felt when I first went to a daycare.Β

That is exactly how I felt when I first got to the Day Care Center.

I always wondered why you had to pay for your pokemon...

Think of it as a real-life daycare.

On the contrary:
"If you want your son back, it will cost S200."
Imagine somebody saying that at a day care when you went to pick your child up.

I heard somone named their pokemon "son" so when he went to pick his pokemon up it said that

Yeah, they have google images for those things.

Two thousand dollars?
Then his Swinub was there long enough to level up by 19 levels.

I think daycares are actually fronts for Team Rocket.

They secretly keep extra eggs. Trainers like to breed rare ones for themselves, they pay well for the service. Free pokemon, and money to boot! Makes sense to me.

This would be a great animation or setting of a movie.

Black and white art gave it a whole new feeling of eerie-ness. Nice.

Makes it look like a detective movie

Or one of those old movies that have no color and no voice

I always kind-of imagined that the inside of the Daycare had a heart shaped bed and a Barry White album playing in the background...

Wow, here I thought I was the only one who saw this. *Laughs* Good job.

I know it's been months since you did this, but since I started playing Platinum, I can't get this comic out of my mind... I love every thing about it! It's probably my favourite in this series (I should look at all of them again...)
Hey have you done one about "Fly" yet? I had a theory that the way it works is that you let your Pokemon out of its Pokeball and swap places. It's the only way a small Pokemon has a hope of carrying you. Anyway, feel free to use that idea if it inspires you.

I would fancy seeing a strip like this now xD

I am SO glad I'm not the only one who thinks this about the Daycare people. Since I was a moderately sized child, they have always treated the whole thing like a hostage exchange...

If you account for the fact that the currency is more like yen than dollars, its more like 20 bucks.

You know, 'daycare' implies something like, dropping the pokemon off as you go to work or school... But no, these guys could be MILES away in another city, and they don't even watch them well, anyway. Heck, if they don't know how that egg got there, what have they been doing all this time? Playing bridge?

This is a great exploration piece, utilizing possibilities to enhance your concept. Keeping it black and white can present challenges when you are unable to rely on colour to create dynamics. That being said though using this style helps you to consider what remains and what's not necessary to tell the story. This knowledge would actually help you with your colours because although colours give you more options, in a manner of speaking, that doesn't mean you'll understand what to do with the lighting so that contrasts can help bring out what is and isn't important. Keep this in mind. This comic though you certainly don't have to worry about. Well done c;

This is strangely informative. Going the black n' white route was mainly because the mafia films of old didn't have color, but drawing this strip certainly taught me some about what's necessary to portray and not. The bare neccessities, if you will. And thanks!

I used the daycare once to help raise a Pokemon in Silver. I'll never use one outside of breeding again.
