Description It was nice to get back to some personal projects for the first time in the new place, so I thought it nice to start off with a retro pic with a bit of background work to boot. The Kickline girls are doing their best to have some fun gabbing it up... even if things around them aren't in perfect order.

The This Island Earth mutant and the various cameos belong to their respective owners. Kickline, its characters, and the artwork belong to me.

Comments and suggestions welcome. Enjoy!

Amazing attention to detail here, from the retro outfits (you have those down to a science now) and the plethora of background antics to the very eye-catching "X" frame, I can tell you went all out on this one, Rich - two thumbs up.

I had a lot of fun with all of the aspects done with this one here, so I'm glad you had fun looking at all those aspects. Thanks a lot, Mark!

Well this is a real treat. So much going on in every corner!

First or all, it's great to see the interaction between all of the character and each of the little stories going on in each panel.

The variety of angles also allows for each girl to take centre stage but also the supporting cast to shine in their own way.

You also did a great job in furnishing all of the rooms, right down to the different types of phones! Everything is so jovial and dysfunctional, I think it all makes for a really successful piece. Nice job!

I definitely wanted to fill the room with activity in each scene, so I'm thrilled to know that work was reasonably successful! Thanks a lot for the comment here, I had a lot of fun with this one. Much appreciated!

Oh wow, this must have taken some pretty substantial effort!  Nicely framed with all of these images, each panel tells us a whole lot about them!

Time and effort was indeed needed for this one, but it was fun to get done in the end. Thanks a lot for the comment, pal. Always appreciated!

Well this is a party line if ever I saw one. What a creative way to show a four-way phone call with them - and of course the retro theme is the perfect way to do it, too!


Meanwhile, Veronica looks like she was dressed for someone to come through her window...

Veronica is waiting for a date, any date. We shall see if the mutant is what she was looking for!

And I had a lot of fun drawing this one, so I'm happy you could enjoy this one as well. Thanks for the kind words and input here, Kyle!

Yeah, that's definitely allot of activity being shown through the "screened" lenses that's for sure.

I wanted to fill the space with some interesting visuals, so I'm glad it could come across that way. Thanks!

Nope, just alternate looks when i feel like drawing retro-themed pics.

Glad you could enjoy, thanks for the comment.

The comic does take place in that vague cartoon present that doesn't try to pin itself down. I just happen to enjoy kitcschy 50s and 60s aesthetics a lot, and I get inspired to draw them like this here and there. So I'd just say consider it a more-than-occasional break from the present!

I'm glad you could enjoy this one, thanks a bunch for the kind words here, Clarice! It was nice to get back to personal projects for the first time since moving.

And that title was actually used years ago for another similar pic, but this one may be more deserving of that title, so I'll be swapping out the two titles. Thanks for the input!

SPLIT PANEL VIEW! SPLIT PANEL VIEW! SPLLIITTTT PAANEELLL VIIEEWWW!!!!

....had to do that after the "This Island Earth" ref. XD Love the MST3k movie! Haven't seen the Netflix remake, though.

Love your retro stuff, as always.

great work, and hilarious! Leave it to Candy to gab on the phone and let the stove get on fire!

Hard to forget the NORMAL VIEW quote after all these years, so no worries on that front.

I'm glad you could enjoy the pic either way, Candy's panel was a fun one to do. Always appreciated!

I wanted to be sure that the spaces for each scene were filled, and I wanted to do some background work after having not done so in ages. I'm glad you could enjoy those aspects, so thanks a bunch for the input here, Elena.
