Gypsy!
Promises Promises…
Really and truly, the new book/chapter opener WILL post Wednesday with THREE pages, mostly because these three pages need to be together if they are to make any sense. They probably won’t anyway. Thanks for reading – gg

A Word About Mama Rose…
Mama Rose is loosely based on Mama Rose from the musical Gypsy, as are other characters throughout this webcomic. They aren’t direct copies, although Mama Rose is the closest to the original in how Rose’s regard for her own child(ren) were less important than her own needs. The musical version has Rose with serious (sometimes desperate) attachment issues, while my Rose callously disregards her child – my Rose does not deny her exploitation and doesn’t care what people think of her as long as her image doesn’t get in the way of business. In this, she is much more like Ebenezer Scrooge than Rose Hovick.
I seem to come back to the Rosalind Russell reference well all the time. Most references seem to come from either the movie Gypsy or from Auntie Mame (my favorite movie EVER). We could play “Spot The Reference” with almost every page of Gypsy…

Geek that I am…
Yes, I admit it… I’m a Star Wars geek, going waaaay back. Not to the point that I’ve read all the books and own all the comics, but I do have a Lightsaber collection with over 40 pieces [from some expensive FX Lightsabers to those Lightsaber spoons that came in some cereal or other back in 1999, I think].
For my birthday I bought myself a Voice Changing Clone Trooper Helmet. I wanted to do something with it, so I’ve been planning on using it for a costume aimed at the Starfest convention here in Denver in April [I think]: The Clone Jedi KAR120C. I know, this is something that would be impossible in [Star Wars Universe] theory, but it’s meant to be a joke anyway. Stage 1, as is the first stage of any costume, is lots of planning [in the form of sketches]. Stage 2 is materials gathering, in this case, props – which brings me to the whole point of posting this: I built a Clone Jedi Lightsaber:
It cost about $8 and was put together in less than an hour. It’s the fifth Lightsaber hilt I’ve made so far, not counting the the six or seven Wooden Practice Lightsabers I’ve made.
Yeah, I’m a geek. Geek enough to post something like this for no other reason than to show off my latest piece of geekery. Anyways, I should get back to REAL work, like Monday’s Gypsy page.
Thanks for reading, gg

A late Rescue by Fan Art…
Greetings,
Sorry for the delay this week – Gypsy should be posting a bit later after I scan/clean/post the page. Lucky for me, Trish Malone sent a lovely bit of Fan Art to fill the void, so have a look and enjoy – and possibly consider doing your own art…

24 hours and a challenge
The 24 Hour Comics Challenge ended early for me due to too much caffeine and a breakfast that didn’t agree with me. The first half of the story is now available at Webcomicsnation, and I hope to finish the other half next week.
Thanks for reading,
