Artist's Note:
This comic was pretty difficult for me to complete, because drawing Barbie physically collapsing on herself isn't easy. Seriously, what was I thinking?! I made her break in three main areas (hinting at one more), curl backwards like a human pretzel gone wrong, and had to keep her proportions. I also had to rush it in the end, especially the last panel. But, deadlines are deadlines, and I have to keep true to them. Even if I want to redo things, I won't, because that would take another few hours, and that would cause me to miss my Thursday deadline. So I guess the lesson I learned with this comic is: You gotta know when to let it go.
