Hey, guys. I know it's been over 6 weeks since I've made any progress on this comic, and I'm sorry about that. But while I am still trying to work on it, I have very little motivation to do so. I just haven't been wanting to do anything with it, honestly, so for Chapter 1, I only have one completed page, one sketched page, and the script for the rest of the chapter. So why not show off what I have, huh?

And so the boi is here. Say what you want, Nemo is utterly precious. I love how he came out on these pages. Coral is not a morning person, which I completely understand.

Oops, he put on the brakes too fast. Don't you just hate when that happens? Well, that's all I have visually, but I can show you the script for the rest of this chapter. Here you go!
Page 3 Panel 1: (Coral looks outside and sees Nemo, stuck headfirst in a tubelike coral) Nemo (echoed, slightly muffled): First day of school! Panel 2: (Coral grabs his tail) Coral: Nemo, don't move! You'll never get out of there yourself! Panel 3: (Coral pulls) Panel 4: (Nemo pops out) SFX: (POP) Panel 5: (Coral rushes him inside again) Coral: All right, where's the break? You feel a break? Nemo: No. Panel 6: (Coral flips him upside down) Coral: Do you feel woozy? Hot? Cold? Are your scales falling off? Nemo: No. Panel 7: (Coral shows him the white stripes on her body) Coral: How many stripes do I have? Panel 8: (Nemo looks annoyed) Nemo: I'm fine. Panel 9: (Coral looks at him sternly) Coral: Answer the stripe question! Panel 10: (Nemo looks deadpanned) Nemo: Three.
Page 4 Panel 1: (Coral looks at herself) Coral: No! See? Something's wrong with you! I have one... Panel 2: (Coral realizes he gave the right answer) Coral: ...two... three. That's... that's all I have? Panel 3: (Coral sighs in relief) Coral: Whew! You're okay... Nemo: Told you. Panel 4: (Coral gives Nemo a "you started it" look while Nemo is embarrassed) Coral: You're the one who fell out, son. Don't do it again. Nemo: Sorry. Panel 5: (Coral points to his smaller fin) Coral: So, how's the lucky fin? Panel 6: (Nemo proudly shows off his smaller fin) Nemo: Lucky! Coral (off-panel): Well, let's see. High-five, like always. Panel 7: (Nemo starts swimming to Coral, who holds out her fin expectantly) Panel 8: (Nemo high-fives her with his lucky fin) Panel 9: (Coral nods and Nemo smiles) Coral: Good boy.
