Candace
           
    So why did I put my single most boring character into my comic strip?
    
Oh STOP it!  Stop calling her boring!  I LIKE Candace!
     Maybe you like boring people ^_~ .  Anyway, the thing is, I had decided I was going to make the comic about Demmy.  I briefly considered starring Connie, or Illy, or Nebula, or even doing something fresh and new and only using my characters as a bare bones for ideas, but in the end I chose (as I knew I would) to focus on Demmy. . . and Candace was already Demmy�s best friend.
         I could have used one of her other friends to play second fiddle, such as Collie or Janette, or even Toby, I could even have made someone up, but there was a reason I chose Candace, and at least for this I chose her for who she was.  Candace is like no one else in the comic.  (Cuz she�s more boring, hee hee, just kidding) When I put together my characters I had gathered Demmy, with her run away imagination and all her weirdness, Toby, who if anything makes Demmy look like a calm, normal child, Connie, the bully, and Illy the mom and rainbow haired mutant cat girl!  Honestly there�s no one normal in the lot of them!  Except for Candace.  She�s an average, everyday, normal run-of-the-mill second grader.  She�s a little shy, a little timid, but mostly she�s just your average girl-next-door.  And I think that is really what the comic needed, a normal girl in the mist of all this bizarre chaos.  And Also, Candace is so fundamentally different from Demmy I thought they would bounce ideas and personality off one another funnily (which, according to my spell check is a real word ^_~).  So I guess for all of my complaining about her and calling her boring she does have a very important role in the comic, and in my own way I think I love her just as much as I do all the others.
