Tale of Meredith Wight 9
Well I think I’ve figured out a production pipeline that makes more sense. Most of the time on this page came from tweaking the script. Maybe I’ll actually get this comic moving again one day.
Finally after all these years, I get to finally make the Solstice and Maggie rivalry official. They never even actually interacted last time but this dynamic was always the plan. It was kinda a shame that it never came up.
Her story last time basically boiled down to that she was gunning for Solstice’s job, but she couldn’t really make headway because of the things her dad had done. She ended up using Bartleby as the face of her political movement, but she was always the one actually pulling the strings even if his ego didn’t allow him to notice.
Other than that, it’s nice to show a bit of the Kuin family. I’m not gonna talk much about them or start listing off names since this isn’t what this page is about. But I’ve been excited from the start to have them around this time.
Oh ho, good to see the whole Kuin family!
I do wonder how old Merry is by this point in the story, though. Mostly because the mental image of Maggie trying to recruit a 10 year old is hilarious.
The timeline of Merry’s story is actually quite abridged the way she’s telling it. While the scene where she had a doll ripped in half took place in early grade school, she met Maggie in high school.
Mind you this is still basically a senior trying to recruit a freshman into a feud with a junior. (not that the scholar society uses the same terminology) There’s enough of an age gap where they are in the same general space to cross paths but really have no reason to interact.
