147 – Soulmates
Child!Chloe in the last panel is actually inspired by Chloe’s old character design from 12 years ago, back when she was called Maki. Yet another reference to my old art nobody will get, just like Schoolgirl!Saki. That old version of Chloe was a teenager, though… so I guess she wore the exact same outfit for many years. XD
So there’s no punchline here. I just wanted to have something sweet with Chloe. The poor girl deserves more than simply being there to make other characters shine.

Okay, friends. Frivolesque is losing ground at Topwebcomics! Please vote, so we can keep it at the top where it belongs!
I finally got first comment! Yay!
I was playing Skyrim, a game I only bought recently, so I was late to the post.
skyrim belongs to the nerds :>
fus.. rodaaah!!!
I borrowed XCOM. Hopefully the sequel will be more challenging when I get it, because as is the xeno filth aren’t a very credible threat to humanity.
Try the long war mod. It’s nasty.
Unfortunately I’m playing on console. I’ll probably grab Enemy Within for PC at some point and enjoy some mods, but I’m chewing through a backlog first.
Daniel the Human’s got Skyrim. He seems to enjoy it, but is curious about mods. He’s asked me to try find stuff, since I do more surfing than him, but to be honest, I can’t be stuffed. Maybe it’ll make me look good if someone here pointed in the right direction for Skyrim mods?

This is where I get most of my mods. The mod manager it has is nice as well.
Daniel here. Thanks, might check it out. To be honest, that was more effort than I expected Screwball to put into it. Not surprised he forgot I can read posts too… :P
Working on it. I seem to remember three days out of five.
Chloe with a bokken..? Does not compute!
Funny how characters change over time.
She doesn’t call herself The Red Lightning and sprout poetry does she?
Maki and Yuki :>
2003 represent!
Man now I wanna see Chloe beat up thugs with a kendo stick!
Frivolesque Chloe is so peaceful. Her original version was much more feisty, but I decided I’d leave the action girl template to Gaia and Saki this time.
Maybe she just grew out of it, but still has the skills. She retrieved Mimi’s cat pretty handily, after all.
…not a single comment about the strip itself
It’s a very nice strip.
Sorry Dez! The strips really sweet. Makes me want to see more of the cast as children. The evolution of a character’s design is just really cool and not something most creators usually show.
Yeah, I like to do it though considering Frivolesque is actually about those old characters designs of mine being recycled. :)
And thank you, I have some “young Saki” strips planned.
I like the glasses on young Chloe and Maki. :P
I was half-expecting Clementine thinking about how the seat still has Marie-Neige’s warmth in it.
That would be creepy, even for Clementine’s standards…
…
or would it?
No, creepy would be her sniffing the seat.
Great. Now I have that mental image stuck in my head.
I don’t think that something like that already qualifies as creepy. Creepy would be if she went to the toilet right after Marie in order to sniff her pee pheromones.
But what do you mean by “even for Clementine’s standards”? Does she have lower standards than everyone else? Because of bondage-rape-fantasies? That dirty dirty girl. I want to see another page like that. XD
But it looks like you’ll just keep doing the Roadrunner thing instead, i.e. she is Coyote.
It sounds rather dangerous to me for Clem to risk letting Marie-Neige tie her up again. M-N has the attention span of a gnat, and Clem is easily forgotten. She might starve before anyone finds her.
Marie-Neige looks innocent and Chloe on the top of her potential in that last strip! I think their stance reveal a lot about their personality. It looks like something happened so “their role” kinda switched.
Hahahaha why my avatar is that twisted room mate?!?
It’s all random. You were unlucky.
Or lucky, if you think she’s cool. ^^
That’s an interesting observation. I sure want to cover this later in a series of Flashbacks XD
*Hopes we get to see Clem as a kid in the next strip*
Sweet, touching and like a nice warm cup of tea on a cold winter’s day.
I like that you don’t always end up with a joke and vary your narrative options, it makes it more than a webcomic, and it shows you really care about the characters.
