McShep Chibi Comic, Thanksgiving edition

[gnine]

First off, Happy Thanksgiving! for all those celebrating (those not, I hope you're having a lovely Thursday! ^_-) If you *are* celebrating, and especially if you're going the whole traditional route, i.e. with turkey, know that I am exceedingly jealous! Mmmm...turkeeeeeyyy! *sigh* Very hard to come by in Japan, and even if I could, the lack of an oven makes roasting it a unique challenge. I mean, chicken is good and all, but TURKEY! And gravy and mash potatoes and corn and *trails off into incoherent mumbles muffled by drool*.

Annnnyways, did manage to do a Thanksgiving chibi comic, which I hoped to do in full color, but have simply run out of time, at least if I want to post it on the actual holiday. So, I'm posting the black and white version for now, and hopefully I'll get around to coloring it sometime this weekend. Sadly, I'm...bitter enough with the show that I'm having trouble working up much enthusiasm to draw. I think I need to go on an SGA fic binge this weekend, wash the taint of canon unhappiness/disappointment away. :-p

To conclude, hope everyone has a great Turkey day! *huggles to all*





Yes, I'm aware I'm a month late for Canadian Thanksgiving, but well...John's American...and so am I so um...oops? Also, I'm not actually sure what Tofurkey looks like, so I just drew what I knew...*shrug* Besides, if John and co. were accompanying him, Rodney might have been able to convince Jeannie to give in a little and serve both...

And props go to xparrot for the beta and the "care and feeding of Mckays".

1) Your comics are one of the brightest spots in my week, and I'm thankful for them and you. *hugs*

2) John's happy face is the best. thing. ever.

3) I'm also in love with Kaleb's hair. XD

4) Is Ronon slicing a carrot in mid air? That's so awesome! :D

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! So nice to hear!

And yes, Ronon is slicing mid air, cause we all know Ronon is just that awesome! ^_-

Very sweet! I try hard not to think about canon either, thank goodness for fan fic writers! And clever cartoonists.

I'm sorry you're missing out on turkey and all the trimmings!

Thanks for sharing these. I enjoy them a great deal.

Another terrific comic!
Thanks so much, that really brightens my mood.
Today, on Thanksgiving, I am thankful for your art and for the fanfic I read that keeps my McSheppy heart going in the face of adversity!
Love Ronon here!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks so much! Glad to be of help ^_- *huggles* Hope you had a good Turkey day.

[libsechumanist.livejournal.com]

My weekly squishy fix went well my with turkey, gravy, mashed spuds, stuffing, and pumpkin pie! I ate enough for both of us...gives you long distance taste of turkey ;-)

Thanks again for my weekly squish!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

...so...SO hungry! And jealous! ^_- *whimper* Glad you like, hoped you had a good Turkey Day! *huggles*

[meansgirl.livejournal.com]

I love it! That little grab is so...so...grabby! So snuggly!

And as usual, your Ronon is cute and cuddly and hilarious even when he doesn't have any dialogue.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Ronon reaaaaaallly likes being a chibi! He's ever so fun to draw that way, especially his dreads! So glad you like! *huggles*

[kathgrr.livejournal.com]

Oh I just love your comics, they are brilliant. Always.

I love the little details. Like Teyla's bicep & her great hair! Maddie's hair's so cute & those adorable jeans! You've got all of Jeannie great features, I love the eyes & the braid.

Just a thought: shouldn't Rodney be a little heavier? I always thought his special features were his little belly and his awesome broad linebacker shoulders and getting-there biceps.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Thanks ^__^

...yeah, my sister keeps telling me I don't do him chubby enough...oops? ^_-

[pennyplainknits.livejournal.com]

Hands! Holding hands! And smooches!

I love Maddie too.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks! Yeah, was having fun doing the kiddies! ^_- So glad you like *huggles*

[starbuck-star.livejournal.com]

brilliant! Love it!

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ^_^

[sarahthebloody.livejournal.com]

Here in Sweden we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. But this kinda makes me want to! Everything seems nice, warm and just... family. I love it! :)

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm a BIG fan of Thanksgiving. Family and food, basically the best combination ever! ^__^

So glad you like it *huggles*

[ariadne83]

I love Torren's wide-eyed stare, and I love how he's all "Mom! Look!" and grabbing at Teyla.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks! I was having a lot of fun with Torren and Maddie ^__^ So glad you like! *huggles*

Love Ronon and Teyla in this, with the two kids attached to them. Madison and her jeans are adorable. And you know I love the family theme--which, along with the McShep--has become more meaningful in light of the recommended SGA fic I've been reading lately.

I have read "Unidentified" since we talked on Thursday, as well as "Coda" and the "Missing Scene." Had trouble at the start with the random total amnesia idea, but once I got past accepting that, yes, the story and the writing are every bit as excellent as the others Xparrot recced; quite a way to put both Rodney and John through hell--but quite a lovely resolution for them. She definitely writes the kind of stuff I like to read, and writing *is* excellent. This has been fast, easy, satisfying reading for a time of year that keeps me too busy to do much reading otherwise. Thanks for the rec.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Thanks, mom *huggles* Yes well, neechan and I definitely both inherited the love of the family-theme, we're as much suckers for it as you!

And see, we told you those were good fic. Now you just really gotta go read Iowa verse, trust me, verrrrrrrrrrry cute!

Love you *huggles*

[accidentalfan.livejournal.com]

I love how Jeannie skipped right to the wedding. Such a sister thing. And those are some awfully cute jeans you've got Maddie in.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

It's what sisters are here for ^_-

I was having fun with little-girl jeans, taking inspiration from my students ^_-

Glad you like, thanks! *huggles*

[klinoa.livejournal.com]

Oops, missed this one.

Haha, as awesome as always. I love Jeannie's expression, and Ronon's choping, and basically everything.

...so, when is the wedding?

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks!

...so, when is the wedding? Soon, preferably, very soon! They need to be together! *smishes them*

[badwolf36.livejournal.com]

Brilliant. Your comics just make me happy. :D And I am working on a team tag to help you wash your mind out of all the unhappy thoughts.

[gnine.livejournal.com]

Aww thanks! And yay for happy team tags, oh so very, VERY needed!
