And I say HEY! (HEY!)
What a wonderful kind of day
If you can learn to work and play
And getalong with
each other

I had this idea rolling in my head for months. Finally sat down to try and draw it out quickly (hence slightly clunky dialogues, ha ha, no editors!). Can’t help it, I love darker spins.
Inspired by this event:
Oh my God. This is amazing…
Let’s play “NAME ALL THE THINGS!!” …studies for this week’s Viscom assignment xD speed sketches, each page took approximately 1.5 hours. :U
EDIT: Whoops one pic was sideways. That’s what I get for uploading from a phone xD corrected!
ALTRAMONA
I gave Ramona freckles.
Freckles are cute.
:edit: OH, I should probably mention: this is for Brian Lee O’Malley’s colouring competition.
OBLIGATORY SOB STORY: I SPENT TIME ON THIS WHEN I SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONCENTRATING ON HOMEWORK. THERE’S MY FUTURE IN CINEMATOGRAPHY DOWN THE DRAIN.

Chaps in tweeds protest Abercrombie & Fitch opening on London famed Savile Row
__________________________LONDON — A tongue-in-cheek protest aimed at fighting vulgarity has targeted Abercrombie & Fitch, the American clothier that plans to open a children’s shop on London’s storied Savile Row.
The planned shop would be at No. 3 Savile Row, once the home of Apple Records, and The Beatles gave their final performance from the rooftop on Jan. 30, 1969.
The gentlemen who produce The Chap magazine staged their protest Monday not because of The Beatles connection, but because of their devotion to three-piece suits, tweed and snap-brim hats. They waved posters showing a gent of the 1940s in a double-breasted suit with broad lapels.
“Give three-piece a chance,” they sang, adapting John Lennon’s famous song.
Gustav Temple, editor of The Chap magazine, said the protest reflected unhappiness with the general trend of British retailing, with shirts and ties being overwhelmed by a new breed of shop promoting trendy T-shirts.
He said Savile Row is precious because “it is really the last insult, it’s the last street in the capital devoted to a single trade.”
“We didn’t want to go back in time,” he said. “But we think the dress code of the 1940s is timeless.”
The Savile Row Bespoke Tailors Group had objected to Abercrombie & Fitch’s planning application, saying that one of the company’s shops adjacent to Savile Row had already “changed the tone and safety of the street.”
Savile Row was laid out as a residential street in the 1730s, and its association with exquisite tailoring developed in the mid-19th century.
The protesters feel more at home with the original Abercrombie & Fitch, which sold pricey guns, fishing tackle and outdoor requisites to the elite. It outfitted U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt for an African safari and Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart for their daring flights.
Abercrombie & Fitch has 99 stores outside the United States in addition to 946 at home and is expanding overseas.
Today, I Loki’d my sister’s room, and I got the best reaction out of her ever. She was literally crying with laughter.
I started with the light switch, then moved on to other places in her room: her tissue box, her clock, her work lamp, her pencilcase, her dictionary (under ‘L’), her shoes, her toy dog, on her books, and on many other places that were too numerous to picture. LOKI’D!
