The Komi MomSwap’s been on the docket for a while, even before Shuuko’s NHML win, and here it is. It’s a little hard to imagine Shouko going through with an actual meet-up set up through this app, but they’re at least putting themselves out there.
When “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” came out I began thinking about doing something with the old animated series design of Lydia. I only saw this show a handful of times as a kid, but I’ve seen this version of Lydia around a lot in various places. Lydia’s relationship with her step-mom is pretty strained in both the original film and the cartoon, although the sequel did show a more nuanced and sweet side to their dynamic.
I’m actually not sure why it took so long for me to get to Riley and her mom Jill for this series. I wanted to do the Sleepover Raid girls who had moms early on, but I think I just got caught up in other pairing ideas. So she ended up pushed back, but we’re here now. One benefit of the wait is that I got to use her slightly older design from the second film, with this being the first time I’ve drawn this version of Riley. As for Jill, she’s one of my favorite Pixar moms, maybe second only to Helen? I’m not sure I’m prepared for a tier list but she’s definitely up there.
So way back in 2018, the May One-Shot comic had a MomSwap theme to it. Of the four mother/daughter pairings done for that comic, only one’s had an actual MomSwap entry up to now. I figured it was past time to do another one of them, and Kim and her mom are a pairing that I think a lot of folks will enjoy seeing. I have a soft spot for the Kim Possible characters, so this was a fun one for me.
