Callie loves theater. And while she would totally try out for her middle school’s production of Moon over Mississippi, she can’t really sing. Instead she’s the set designer for the drama department’s stage crew, and this year she’s determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn’t know much about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage AND offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen. And when two cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier!Archive with all previous and future issues:https://desuarchive.org/co/search/subject/Daily%20raina/

Done today, thank you for reading!
Kids really read these? They look so unappealing.
>>152574400>>152574409The first of MANY reveals in this comic.
>>152574687>Sidekick phoneOh yeah, this is early 2010s.
>>152574389Poor Matt, I see what he's trying to do but it just isn't working.
>>152574676Naw. It's valid. I've been on both ends of things like that and sometimes you just want to be upset about bad news. Just complain with the person for a while and then later come with the help.
>>152574651Keep your dick in your pants!
>>152575062I think it's pleasant and easy on the eyes. Fits the tone of the story.
>>152574765Thank you for posting

>>152575447They mentioned a J-Pop store and boba tea, so I assumed it was late 2010s. I didn’t realize Jap/Asian stuff was so big in 2012 when this released.
>>152574505West got that Logitech chin
>>152574478Eh, I've read better singing.>>152574521Eh, I've read worse singing.

>>152574376Just noticed the art here is more refined and less jagged than in Smile.
>>152585930Well, she did get a fair bit of practice in earlier.
Who do you think is the popular kid?
>>152574673News alert, sweetie, you ain't gonna turn him straight, accept your role as a fag hag.
>>152586987Never doubt the power of a good fuck
Good evening, we back!
>>152587239Look at that poor man's face.
>only white in negrotown>is the main characterShould have made her self insert brown too to fit in with the rest.
Done! Thanks for reading.
>>152587126Welcome back.
>>152587126You goddamn weeb Matt. I love it.
>>152587126>>152588003Yes, one of the best light novels - The Time I Fell in Love with a Soldier From the Enemy Lines.
People who were in middle or high-school when this first came out, what was the response? Was it banned in your library?
>>152588936I was homeschooled, so there wasn’t any library to ban it from. My mom actually loved it, I was going through similar shit at the time so she bought me Smile and then everything that followed as a way to try and cheer me up. (It worked.)
>>152588956>homeachooledI thought this was a meme, how old are you?
>>152587357Thanks OP
>>152589595Old enough to have read this book in middle school, lol
>>152590988damn unc
>>152588623lol
>>152588956Based Mom
>>152574478I always thought it was interesting Bonnie's the usual bitchy cliche but shes happy to try out for a school play
>>152574742>ACK!
>>152575062A lot of it comes down to relatability and simplicity
the bay area doesn't get enough media representation. norcal north of the bay area even lessnorcal masterrace
>>152574618Stronger than normal glue, inferior to gorilla
>>152587289>>152587307Oof
>>152587268>>152587275Cute theater geek
>>152574547>>152574555>>152574560Bonnie's a dick.
>>152582732When I was in HS, I had a manic pixie girlfriend who was REALLY into that shit.Even despite all the novelty of being able to touch boobs, I was like "oh god please stop it's been like an hour already. I want to go home and play video games"
>>152595938Dude whatI feel like 90% of American comics and cartoons are either set in California or written by people who can't grasp that the world outside California can work in different ways
>>152587229>>152587239>>152587250>Please god let at least one of my sons not be a fag
>>152587278>go to store >barely buy anything and just write it down next timeFuck its too relatable
Good evening.
>>152599012Love this page. I honestly really like the book's presentation, how it plays out like an actual...well, PLAY.
Done! Thanks for reading
>>152599202Dawwwwwwww! :3
>>152599214>Previewing in the cafeteria
>>152599182Admittedly, it's a nice conceit.
>>152575062I don't think my kids would enjoy this, but they're boys and not interested in anything related to theater.And last time I've seen comic sales data, Scholastic was outselling DC and Marvel combined.
>>152598670usually everything is set in LA/socal because of hollywood but the bay area gets shafted, the central valley gets shafted, sacramento, shasta, tahoe, etc
>>152574432>>152574437There sure is quite a bit of Drama (2012) going on.
>>152599012I recognize two particular girls on the top right...
>>152602727I read that as gifts.Time to hit the hay.
To keep the thread alive, here's a story from Raina on a short lived webcomic called Agnes Quill.
>>152603559
>>152603585
>>152603618
>>152603639
>>152603669
>>152603696
>>152603736
>>152603770FIN.Wish there was more Raina. There's so much yet so little at the same time.
>>152603790>Wish there was more Raina. There's so much yet so little at the same time.Part of me wishes she went all out and did more various comics and even animation but I get it, don't wanna overwork and get mentally fucked. Besides, that makes every new Rain' all the more special.
>>152574618>>152574626I like moments like this in her comics, these little bits help give them more of a sense of humanity to them.
>>152603790Thanks!
>>152599267I love that she was vindicated about the cannon being the draw.
>>152599152Heh, I just noticed the extra speech lines on "That's a wrap, guys!"
>>152605445It's supposed to indicate that itbeing heard in their earpieces.
>>152599152>>152605445>>152605455Nice touch
>>152574409Genuine question, and I don't mean this in a rude way - How does being gay happen? What specifically happens that makes the person like the same sex/gender?
>>152606800They're just born that way
>>152606800we dont know if its genetic or because some quirk of the uterus chemistry. animals both complex and primitive can also be gay. it's probably some complicated mix of factors we do not understand and won't for a long time, like much of the human brain
>>152606800There are several "causes", ranging from genetics to overexposure.
>>152602054lolol
>>152606800I'd say itsdna, but I heard identical twins sometimes have different orientations
>>152599152I just remembered I had the lights tech guy position in high school
>>152603559The full comic:http://agnesquill.com/

>>152610668it's fortunate west isn't a dick

>>152610668Lol! Wasn't this comic technically banned?
>>152610526>>152610757What are we, some kinda Moon Over Mississippi?
>>152613357Think they actually mooned anyone over Mississippi?
"And after that day everyone learned that the best way to shut Bonnie up whenever she was stepping out of line was to remind her that she has the waistline of a boy, the end"
>>152610774OUCH!
>>152610628Couldn't even give him a fucking wig.

>>152610774I've said it before but I like Matt's bad attempts at trying to woo Cal. It feels real.
>>152610757Matt radiating a lotnof chud energy here.
>>152610668GAAAAAY
>>152599202Wait where's the da->Remembers SistersOh...
Starting in a few minutes, I thought this was going to be the last chapter but theres actually 2 left. The same thing happened with Smile, sorry for being schizo
>>152621446Callie isn't Raina. Drama is purely fictional like Ghosts, not autobiographical like Smile and Sisters.
Anyways
>>152622282on a reread, i now remember the dress origin. sneaky callie
Thats it, tomorrow: the final act (for real this time)!
>>152622402>>152622410AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH>>152622446Fucking WOW Jesse BOMBED
>>152622508>>152622520>>152622535Who would've guessed that shying them away constantly would lead to...LE REJECTION?!
Why does everyone want to fuck this bitch?
>>152623106This is about theater kids, anon. They’d probably fuck anything with a pulse if they could.
>>152622436i.... i knew it was going to come to this but i was really hoping they'd end up together i somewhat started self-inserting as callie because jesse reminds me of my husbando
>>152622364autism
>>152622402Erm, AWKWARRRRRD...
>>152574376Very dramatic comic
>>152622402The blonde guy just wants to fuck everyone in this comic.
