Over My Head

That means more than you know! Thank you! I love you too :D

This was completely amazing and I love you and thank you for all of the hard work you put into this comic!

After sitting on these thoughts a few days. I'm pretty sure we're heading to a Penny & Aggie Lesplosion, I fear Mcfatfat may play the role of the gerbil...

Crazy thought, what if the purple haired woman is Quinn's mom. But the real mom doesn't have purple hair.

Mr. Blue

Well worth the wait!

Great dream sequence and artwork! And also, as others have also said, great choice of thumbnails advertising the Patreon on the main site. It looked like such an unexpected twist that I had to join the Patreon site so I could see what the heck was going on with Quinn and Pumpkin.

Wow, thats one hell of a dream all right(not a wet one it seems) wonder how she will deal with it all.I was wondering if u could find a better way in displaying the pages so we can read them all in one go, couse i had a hard time figuring out where to start after the ones u posted on the main site(u should include those here as well) and it makes for better reading in general. For the rest i'm loving this spin off and hope the link u show on the main site is't just for show ;)

Great job, your artwork keeps improving and its really fun to look at. Love Quinn's dress.

I'm sorry this one was such a challenge, but if it's any consolation, it made me laugh like crazy. :) It's rather interesting to see that she sees more of her friend and her friends family then she does her own father within her own dream. More interesting still, is that it looks like the authority figures in her life are looking down on her decisions.

For #1, see fifth panel on the right (along with implication of comic name) for comic <a href="http://shotgunshuffle.com/comic/patreon-suzie-q/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://shotgunshuffle.com/comic/patreon-suzie-q/</a> . Suzie Q is what Pumpkin named Quinn in her phone's address book.

That One Guy

So worth the wait. Beautiful page.

Felli

Yeah. Who is the purple haired woman?

Mr. Blue

Uhm... digital dyslexia maybe?

Mr. Blue

Thanks :3

She's in love with her blanket, obviously!

This was totally worth the wait, and then some. Every little bit of it is an absolute joy.

HOW DO YOU EVEN TEXT BACKWARDS!?

nekobash

You left out her hair reverting to the "pre-ellie" days, and the fact that she is apparently more upset about upsetting bat-man (a romanticized father figure) than her real one. The baby's birthmarks are asterisks, which would probably be necessary when they right up her birth certificate. The shadow was a really good catch though.

Tez

Okay, let's break down some of the observations. First few panels, we have Ian....OR IS IT? Check the background shadows, clearly Pumpkin has done some amazing cross-play. Quickly the need for a disguise is shed, as Quinn's subconsciously thinking "whoever this is is clearly a good kisser, good enough to make me smile. To follow the rules of comedy movies, I will keep my eyes closed until just the right moment." Next, we have the protest. It isn't "I don't sleep with girls" until the pregnancy comes into play. With just Pumpkin, it's a fear of getting caught. Plus, note the color schemes of the clothes. Red and green for Pumpkin in a distinctively grown up fashion, parroting the outfit Quinn last saw her in, just...matured. Purple haired lady, meh, she's on the cast page, we'll worry about her later. Ellin. A child of two women. I wonder what pop culture reference THAT could allude to. Baby probably loves to dance. Pumpkin reverts to a more childlike role, and apparently is the only one not pregnant. There are very few people at the wedding, a symptom of Quinn's lack of a large social circle? I'd expect a faceless background mob of some kind. Fatfat takes on the role of minister, a figure known to provide comfort during times of stress to people all over, say, after a roomie fight. Ellie's dress is pure white, Quinn apparently believes that even if she did dream-impregnate her roomie, she's still somehow a virgin? (Or, to paraphrase the Critic, "White....except for the gloves."). Towards the end, those ribbons on the back of Quinn's dress are moving funny. Maybe they're tied down so she can't escape? Final note, we know that letters and words are screwy in dreams, but none of the girls have weird birthmarks in this world, but Quinn has clearly noted the resemblance to parts of language before. Interesting. Oh, and good on Quinn for having a box spring and mattress combo. Better for the back. Unless you fall off the bed.

Erik Bell

Well worth the wait! Beautifully executed, and a great tour into the confusion that is Quinn's subconscious.

Like the creeper at the end.

darklion

This is why we support you. Great job, great comic, and thx for taking care of your Patreons.

Mo in Atlanta

Also classic Ellie clothes! Classic Quinn hair! I miss those things.

Stefan Marmion

This was beautiful. Well worth the wait.

Stefan Marmion

I, too, am wondering who the purple-haired mystery vixen is. She seems a little to cheerful to be Quinn's mom; maybe one of Quinn's professors?

Snowfall7

We'll have a real field day, trying to interpret the different layers in this one. XD

Lukas Buergi

Although I gotta say, that I especially like Anise's and Ginger's reactions to the pregnancy test. :D

Lukas Buergi

Man, I would love to see how much your subs went up after you posted that teaser panel on the regular site.

Tez

You, good Sir, have bereft me of words...

Lukas Buergi

Ellie's not bad, she's just drawn that way. :3

Michael Darnell

(runs out of the house yelling) "The new Patreon's here, the new Patreon's here!" Another great one, Chris - as per usual!

MaxDaemon

Worth. It.

Worth the wait. And the thumbnail on the page is going to kill non patrons, or urge them to ante up :)

1) Pumpkin's screen name is Suzie Q! 2) Why are the pregnancy tests for Terra and Cinn the same color. 3) The purple haired mystery woman is probably Quinn's idealized subconscious. 4) I can already tell the Ellin will be in the special class at school. 5) I like Quinn' s funeral dress. 6) Jealous Pumpkin makes a very good Creeper.

Readers with a sense of comics history will see a parallel to Little Nemo In Slumberland, especially in the last frame. Very nice work.

So much to decompress there, and if I'm peeling the layers right, lots of hints for future stories. Especially when you reapply the "reasoning" line to the rest of the comic.

Erik Bell

Dude, that is _exactly_ what trying to read text is like when I'm dreaming (and that's usually when I realize I'm dreaming).

Epic nightmare sequence.<br><br>Your comment that there is meaning in all of this makes me wonder about the purple haired lady who is the only sign (other than jarring absurdity) that this is a dream.<br><br>And as expected, worth the wait. Please try to avoid stressing about that.

That One Guy

I was interpreting black dress as since she was the father that makes her technically the groom. Though possibly it's due to her considering it a bad idea.

That One Guy

Quinn dreamed so hard she broke the bed.

JackFrost

Whoooooooooooooa. :D Niiiiice!

Ben K

Quinn in a black wedding dress? Love it. But the "little touch" that I love the most is the messed up in-dream text on the phone screens. Reminds me of how everything I read in my dream makes sense when I dream, but when I think about it as I wake up, the text doesn't make sense. Also reminds me of that Batman: The Animated Series episode that dealt with funky text in dreams. Attention to detail is a great thing for a storyteller to have.

hunter2

Confusion is. The woman with the purple hair (purple?) is who?

Andrew Diseker

Wow. This might be the best thing I've ever seen. I lol'd. I rofl'd. I lmao'd. 12/10, will read again.

I love the sisters' reaction to being pregnant. Conn = payday; Juniper=not again; Anise=food for two (or not preggo, just dream weirdness); Terra=what the HELL have you done to me; Ginger=how the HELL did that happen?

You know, it seems like it's dark outside and that the street lights may be casting light into her bedroom. Does this mean that the Pot Roast is really done?

Mr. Blue

Yeah. You know Quinn likes cats when Minister Fatty McFatFat is officiating the ceremony.

Mr. Blue

H*LY SH#T. What a dream sequence. That some crazy Mel Brooks style stuff there brah. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ And we don't even need the Jester and the witch, because Herb certainly looks like he won't be shooting anyone's eye out. Especially what with that hospital bill. Damn, Mel Brooks crazy, A Christmas Tale crazy, The Princess Bride crazy (maybe implied by me, but I think its nice.), fan boy crazy, Quinian shipper crazy, FedEx crazy. And I assume that we know that if [EDIT] ANISE [END EDIT] ever gets pregnant, she's going to be going Bomb Pop Crazy.

Mr. Blue

That IS him in the cowl beside a younger Alfred. Right?

Sean Roach

And we get to see what her father looks like...maybe.

Sean Roach

Holy crap this had EVERYTHING! "Mrow mrow kiss the mrow mrow" lol

Steve

Worth the wait &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3 absolutely love it!!!!

Also Chris fantastic job, Sorry your nightmare strip gave you actual nightmares

Wow that was some dream
