Awful Hospital Hi Res art & Notes - Cheryl

Added 2019-07-03 09:20:25 +0000 UTC

Cheryl is, as a lot of readers noticed, an evolution of a character design from my old jokey wecomic, a "creepy" mom who torments her own easily frightened child.

I knew she'd have to show up in Awful Hospital sooner or later, but I was never quite sure what she would be like. I officially consider her a completely different character at this point and the original comics not canon with her, especially considering the designs have gotten fairly different.

She is NOT related to Miss, or to any other character we've seen. She's also not from any of the creepypastas, nor is her dog the one from the Fleagood story.

I didn't really intend her to be so thick when I drew her, but it's honestly incredibly hard to draw thinner people unless you're really exaggerating it like I did with Jay. She might look a little skinnier if she actually stands up...it's a pretty baggy sweater.

She's one of many grey-zoners who are partially or fully "branchinated," able to navigate the zones as freely as other beings.

For those who never saw my "edgy" old comedy comics, I've attached one of the most iconic of those that featured proto-Cheryl. Another reason these comics are no longer canon is that I don't think she would have the same child in Awful Hospital continuity.....but it's quite possible she has, or has had, this same husband.
