Dotti... 'Soap'
🕑 Added 2025-01-29 18:00:11 +0000 UTCHere's another Dotti strip - this time I'm wearing long socks instead of stockings. I do like the darker legs - I think they add a bit of balance to the outfit and make the shoes pop. Let me know what you think...
Socks are on, but the gloves are off! This comic contains a rare sighting of my hands. I've been asked a few times why I always wear gloves. It's mainly because they're a classic clown/mime/cartoon tradition, (they make gestures clearer etc) but also, I have the most hideous hands! Seriously, they look like they belong to the Wicked Witch of the West. I've done a lot of gardening, crafting and drawing over the years, so my paws are always dry and gnarly and I rarely have manicured or painted nails.
I did consider keeping the gloves on for this strip, but I think washing hands with them on is probably too absurd, even for Dotti! So make the most of this brief glimpse of my mitts - the gloves will be firmly back on for my next post :)

Personaly i really like the gloves it really fits your characters and it gives a more elegant look and personality to it

Too dark and maybe just a little too high?
Totty
I enjoy breaking out of the frame :)

I think the socks look neater - perhaps a little too dark though? T x
Totty
Rough day, David? I hope things improve. T x

Thank you Azazel! Believe me, the gloves are a much better alternative to my Nosferatu hands :) T x

Well, this particular strip is inspired by an Ernie Bushmiller comic - I think the 'chasing the soap' gag was also in an old Popeye cartoon. Apparently they had lots of problems with slippery soap in the 1940s :)

Well, I think Totty was a bit of a clown and Dotti is definitely getting into mime territory - I want to make her a silent character ๐ค T x

It's a wig, but I do occasionally need to 'digitally straighten' it :)
Nicholas Shelton
Do you have any clown or mime characters ?

I like when stuff passes the border of the comic
Zachary Taylor
Is it a wig or is the hair painted over afterwards? I can't tell ๐คญ

Honestly a hard toss up between the socks and the stockings
Eric
