Heh, very, very cute... and that Shadwell is what tips the scales into sainthood is a nice touch. I love how you showed each of them in turn to make their argument, and Crowley's expression looking over his glasses. And Thursday, always the mystery :)

FANTASTIC work, "Secret" Artist! :D I grinned so much through the whole thing; I guessed it was Madam Tracy early on and was like, "Come on, she's a dear, you can't damn her!"... and then the penultimate panel sent me into a gigglefit. And their expressions are just utterly perfect, too!

Madame Tracy's Thursdays, the eternal mystery...

Aw, this is the cutest. "--or rather sways drunkenly through restaurants, parks, and the backroom of a dusty bookstore in Soho" cracked me up. When people in real life get tipsy and argue the finer points of damnation and salvation, it tends to get obnoxious fast- but here you've just made it adorable.

I like the composition (or layout, I'm not sure of the correct term) a lot. Starting with the silhouettes, seeing one face at a time, then showing both characters at their most clear when the main point of the argument is revealed, then finishing back where we started. Nice progression.

oooh this is very funny :)

Thanks :) I think Newt very nearly qualified for sainthood himself after working with Shadwell, but the years and effort Madame Tracy put into it definitely make her a saint.

I'm glad you like the format :)

*sshh* Don't give it away ;)

Aw, they wouldn't be so mean as to condemn her. Crowley's only arguing for the sake of it (gotta earn that paycheck somehow) and Aziraphale had that ace up his sleeve all along, naturally.

I wouldn't be the least surprised :) Thank you!

Thank you! ^_^

Those two can't have a debate about anything without it becoming endless (they are immortal, after all), but at least they're cute when they do it.

I really enjoyed working from a slightly "cinematic" angle :) The last panel, the double punchline, was genuinely an afterthought. It just didn't seem totally finished until it circled back around, endlessly...

Ah! What your very distinctive style lacks in keeping you "secret" more than makes up in the delight category--SOOO hoped we'd get one of these from you!

I love their trademarked "argument for argument's sake" exchange and Aziraphale's finishing point which Crowley HAS to concede.

Absolutely Shad's the basis for her sainthood.

Better comment when I have internet again and am not on my phone. I just love this, it's so ridiculously cute. I imagine i'll be giggling at this for a long, long while. Thank you so much!

Yeah, I don't have much hope of hiding unless I develop an entirely new style... again. :P lol

I'm glad you like it! :D It was a blast to do.

THE ENDING MADE ME SPIT OUT MY WATER.

I'm serious. I was going along fine, having a good giggle, enjoying myself. (loving your design of Crowley, as per usual) AND THEN BAMMO. The ending made me crack up.

Thanks for the giggle this early in the morning! And I hope you have a lovely holiday! *HUGS*

*lol* I hope your computer didn't suffer much.

So glad to give you a smile :) Thank you!

I love this! And such a clever and wonderful conclusion!

Oh, there is nothing about this that I do not absolutely adore. The whole thing is beautifully drawn, with wonderful uses of angles and colors, and it is also hilariously funny and sounds exactly like a conversation they would have, and OF COURSE loving Shadwell qualifies Madame Tracy for instant sainthood. Perfect!

Aw, thank you so much! :)
