Fun Fact: Drawing and inking this comic was an excruciating experience because I smashed my thumb beforehand. That’s why it looks so rough.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Emery’s mom. He always seems to be putting her through some kind of trauma. I like to imagine that even a multi-billionaire’s mom could still tell them what to do, assuming there’s no love lost. I thought the idea of even a mom just throwing money around was funny, especially for so common place an interaction as the one taking place here. Plus, it’s fun to remind everybody once in a while that Emery has loads of cash he’s not really using even though he could. He just seems to want to keep being a normal guy. They say money corrupts, but I guess he’s pretty humble.

But is she screaming because he got a tattoo, or because it is a tattoo of Magneto?
This is a true story. One morning, my mom was furious at me for no apparent reason. When asked about it, she told me that she dreamed that I had gotten a massive tattoo across my back. When I asked her of what, she replied: “That evil guy from X-Men. The one that changes the metal. With the helmet and the purple cape.”
She was, of course, referring to Magneto, Master of Magnetism. Needless to say, I thought this was hilarious. This is the sort of thing that gives my mom nightmares. And so, I share it with you Internet.
On an unrelated note, I drew this masquerade girl for Samantha’s flyers over at NYU.
She took a picture, and it looks pretty cool in action. Better than the digital version even.
Thought you might like to see that. Have a nice weekend!
