Hey, it’s Michelle’s mom! She looks a little different than she did in the first two pages of Skin Deep five whole years ago. I made that design up on the fly all those years ago and I never liked it very much, so I’ve tweaked her design a little for this story.

If she’s not big on the hair decorations, how will she react to the real issue here?
Yusssssssssss…
Is that a Star Trek mug? :D
IT IS! :D
I’d kind of been hoping mom knew something (and the earlier more ‘hippy’ mom made me think she might be ‘in on it’ even if she wasn’t one- married into it and all) but now she looks like she’s going to be the type that when Michell spills it she’s going to blink a few times and say “Honey I thought I taught you better than to get involved with drugs…”
And where did her backup go? He all but shoves her onto the porch and through the door, where’d he vanish off to?
Love her house, it looks lived in without being obvious about it. :D
Ohman ohman ohman what’s her mom gonna say? One week is too long to find out!
Knowing Kory, we’re probably not going to find this out for a few pages yet.
Is it green? I bet it’s green.
GURL, THE HAIR AIN’T NOTHING. WAIT TILL YOU SEE HER WINGS AND HER PAWS AND HER HORNED GOAT FRIEND.
Pssh, wings and paws? They’re nothing!
Now, her tail and crazy-long neck on the other hand…
Wings? Paws? Horned goat friend? Even her tail and crazy-long neck…
Wait ’til her mom sees her shoot lazor beams out of her eyes.
Wings? Paws? Horned goat friend? Tail and crazy-long neck? Lazor beams? Wait ’till her mom realises how many people have seen her without pants.
^this xD
I see a betta.
I have become one of those commentors.
That is a lovely shade of purple. One of my mother’s friends decorates their house with that shade of purple. And wears it.
Predictions for the next few comics
Janice (Michelle’s mom)jumping the gun (several times) and assuming..
she’s coming out of the closet
she’s pregnant
that Greg is her boyfriend
she’s quitting college
that Greg is her gay friend
she’s changing courses
she’s changing her religion
actually i know your like the new design but i liked Michelle’s mother’s old design… but other then that i think her fav colour is orange.
Then she looks just a bit too far down and notices the medallion.
“Wot’s that ya got there on ya nek? A medallion!? By Jove! Tell me errything!”
Wait, no, that’s not at all how it goes!
What’s on the mug between the Star Trek and the I <3 NY mugs?
I… Can’t…Tell…
Is it purple? I bet it’s purple….
It’s purple isn’t it? lol
“Wait.. you’re wearing a medallion? Oh my gosh, I’d thought.. wait.. is that.. your *father’s* medallion?!”
“Crud… this is actually going to be MORE awkward to explain, now..”
her face… is scary. her nose…
Why do I get the feeling we’ll see her mom’s neck and see a medallion there?
Doubt it. If both her parents were magical,then there wouldn’t have been much point in hiding it from Michelle, right?
“…and to your ears… though people don’t stick with just a pair of earrings now, I suppose.”
– “Mom, I’ve got something to tell you.”
– “(sigh) You’ve got a tattoo, haven’t you? I was just the same. Tell me it was something small and discreet, like my-
– “I haven’t got a tattoo, Mom.”
– “Okay… so what did you get pierced? Aside from the ears.”
– “Mom, listen to me, I’m-”
– “At least it’s not one of those godawful lip rings-”
– “MOM! I’m a mythological winged cat thing!!! Dad was one too! He gave me this! (waves medallion)”
– “Oh. We’d hoped… (deep sigh) So you didn’t get any body piercings, then.”
– “No!”
– “Shame. Your heirloom jewellery will give you some real protection now that you’ve turned, but you’ll need a trip to the piercing shop before you can wear them…”
This made my day! :D:D:D
A trip to the piercing shop and MONTHS to heal! (okay, well, at least a few weeks, depending on where) That’s not a very good protection plan in the short term…
If she is able and willing to use her sphinx abilities on herself, then seconds to heal (and possibly a few spots before the eyes). >:=)>
“You won’t be able to wear your father’s Prince Albert… I wonder if his right cartilage loop will fit your hood, since you’ve already covered that ear in feathers.”
You know, it occurs to me that Michelle’s mom needs to be warned about demon attacks. They already tried to attack Michelle through her friends at Halloween. We don’t know if they have some “don’t reveal yourselves to normals” demon code, but if they don’t…
I don’t think it’d be too useful seeing how often Michelle apparently visits her mom anyway.
Predictions for the next few comics
Michelle’s mum continually jumping the gun and assuming..
She’s pregnant
She’s dropping out
That Greg is her boyfriend
that she’s coming out of the closet
That Greg is her gay friend
that She’s changing courses
and so on
why did you repost?
when I posted the first time the message, ‘This comment is awaiting moderation’ was shown. a few hours later the comment seemed to be missing from the board, I though it had disappeared into the ether(net). The duplicate can be deleted.
I can relate to the hair thing. Mom never liked the haircuts I got in college, no matter how many different barbers I tried.
I would love to see a full resolution version of those pictures on the fridge there.
Yep, Michelle’s Mom definitely acts like a Mom X3
Nooooo I finished reading the archives! Now I have to WAIT for the next update! D:
lmao this is something my mom would say to me.
ALSO IS THAT A BETTA FISH IN THAT VASE!? HE IS BEAUTIFUL. /loves betta fish
It looks like the mom has changed her hair as well ;3 it was grey when we had last seen her
Is there a reason we aren’t seeing the mother’s front? Are you trying to hide her medallion from us? XD
After reading your comments how you didn’t like how you drew the mother in the first couple comics, I went back and looked. Not only is the mother better, but you can sure see the effect of years of practice drawing, and working into your style. Gone from clumsy and sketchy looking to well drawn and finish work. Great job!
IT’S PURPLE!!!
Meesh Mom! Yes! :3
I have not seen her in a long while, so I’m glad to be seeing her again.
