This is a pairing I’ve had on my list for a while, I feel like. I drew Mandy a little bit back when I was contributing to the Camp W.O.O.D.Y. series, but haven’t really done much with the characters from Grim Adventures since. That’s a shame, as there are several characters I’m into from that cartoon. Mandy’s mom, Claire, is an underappreciated one. I always thought she looked great, and she’s already canonically pretty broken in and submissive to her daughter. Off the top of my head, others I like are (rather predictably) Billy’s mom, Eris, their teacher and Major Dr. Ghastly from Evil Con Carne.

I experimented with the art a bit here, as most people who draw this series seem to do. Mandy especially just doesn’t have much going on if you draw her 1-to-1 with her canon design, but I didn’t want to go full Bleedman or anything either. I tried to put together my own approach, and I hope it works well for you all.
