Description

Leo, you should've tried with Blossom instead.  At least she knows what the mistletoe's really for...


An early Christmas gift to my deviants and my fic readers.  Thankfully, this comic didn't take forever like I thought it would.  Interior backgrounds are much easier to work with but creating a turtle, not so much.

I wanted Leo to face-palm in that last panel but I thought people would mistake it for crying.

Inkscape. It's a free vector program.

But I'm having difficulty with it and I don't like it

There are tutorials out there and there's a variant called Ponyscape. It's not too hard to pick up but admittedly, drawing this comic with a tablet on a different program would be faster than doing all vectors like I do.

I tried the tutorials, but they didn't help

I usually use paint tool sai for vectoring

It is a cute comic and idea. I can't help noticing though that those are holly leaves and berries rather than the white berries and rounded leaves of actual mistletoe.

I'm glad you brought this up.


I went with what I felt was the more recognizable form even though it's not technically correct.  Now that I think about it, Widget pointing this out could've also been her wham line.

Valiant try, Leo. Too bad Widget didn't catch the hint.
