Sneak peek of Validation #487 (with script!) (Patreon)

Panel 1

Max and Alex are sitting down with Ally in the Green Room. Mike and Steve are in the background getting some snacks. Ally is busy typing notes on her laptop.

ALLY: So what happened with your parents?

ALEX: Well, we got in this huge fight after they found out Max was still making the comic. They were just about to kick us out of the house when he reminded them of when they were ostracized from their last church when it changed pastors. 

Panel 2

Max speaks. Let’s use the same word balloons as we did last time.

MAX: They realized they were doing the same thing to us. It’s kinda the main reason I created Anti-Santa in the first place. It’s for those who are pushed away.

ALEX: Our parents thought about everything and we sat down and sorted it out. After that it was like a pressure valve had been released.

Panel 3

A happy scene. Mike and Steve are standing watching the three chat. They have canned drinks in their hands and plates of snacks.

ALEX: So yeah, it’s not perfect, but it’s ok now. And with the success Max is having... Well, we can get our own place soon and set-up a studio. And that will give me time and space to start my own YouTube channel so I can contribute more.

MAX: I can’t wait! Alex is so funny. It’s going to be amazing!

ALLY (CAPTION): And it really is. Hopefully their story will inspire others to take up a pencil and draw, or speak into a microphone and let their voice be heard. Creating in spite of the odds. There’s great power in that.
