Comic #53 : "Corporate Gift"
Friday 21st June 2013
Jetpack Cat can probably be the punchline to any comic. Although maybe I could have come up with a slightly shorter comic for a Friday at the end of a busy week...
This comic also has a couple of exposition points I wanted to make canon - firstly that Clarissa is the CEO/main boss and also to establish a name for Amelie. The intention for her character is to be a parody of Blackberry hiring Alicia Keys to be their creative director, although I based her look more on Emeli Sande (and then merged their names) because Emeli Sande has a more distinct look and it's important that the main characters stand out. It's only a loose joke on that specific event, and will be played more to the concept of big companies hiring big names for the sole intention of the publicity despite knowing little about the person they are doing business with.
I also filmed a video of me drawing a frame from this webcomic:
