Wait, WHAT!? She must be centuries old then. Guess Camilla has a secret stash of youth juice stored in that pirate ship of hers. Or she's cursed! What a twist. Bravo.
I actually contemplated if I should use "cougar" rather than "MILF" here. I came to the conclusion that there seems to be a subtle difference: A cougar is an older woman who is attracted to younger men, while a MILF is an older woman whom younger men find attractive. Camilla wants to comment on Peter crushing on her (while not necessarily admitting that the attraction may be mutual), so the latter fitted better.
Fun fact: When I first came up with Camilla, I envisioned her as being from the Caribbean.
The notion of making her Atlantean only came a bit later. So, what triggered this idea? It was the "Hello Sister!" moment of this very page, cropping up in my mind one day!
I'm always amazed by how much fun the plots are in so many webcomics, despite the authors not planning ahead too much. I think it might be because the plots are thought up over very long periods of time, it gives time for new ideas to come up.
Exactly! What actually ends up on the page is often a mix, in the most extreme cases stuff I've planned since years ago and stuff that I literally only came up with while drawing said page!
Oh my...
I did NOT see that coming...
WOW!
(And I worried about my story being too predictable after the "statues are not actually statues" bit was guessed by almost everyone...)
The FUCK
pardon my french but holy shit
(Also I disagree with her, ultimate milf will always be a certain vidya game character)(Who do you mean? Lara Croft? Samus Aran?? Princess Peach???)(Bayonetta)(New achievement goal for my comic: Something coined by me cropping up as band name on iTunes, Spotify or something similar! ;-) )
The next page will reveal some more info about what the heck is going on with Camilla...
That other twist though...
(Or, I could simply claim that the more obvious twist was just a decoy to hide the other one long enough - stage magician style!)
