The WornDown Children Origins: Diego

AKA: The fly episode 

Here's a one pager for your spring break vacation, try to make it last. 

With this comic I love many of the long lived TWDC mysteries like; does Diego have a sister? Or, are there Fly people in this world or are flies like little people? But more importantly, I get to draw Diego on his Gi again after a long time. 

Long story short, Diego talks to Lil about his “journey” after ending 10th on a local tournament. Which actually means he's getting better!

His injuries here are almost the same as in an old piece which I guess suggest that both that one and this comic happens the same day as I don't think he gets beaten this badly every time.

Don't worry though, he'll be fine… in a couple of weeks.

Here are the other 3 versions of the comic, No solo las dos versiones en español que creo de hecho me gustan más. Más que nada por que Lil dice Waos. But also the version that includes dialogue from the tv that make it explicit that Diego and his sister are indeed watching Karate kid. 

In fact, at some point I was really close to including a shot of the tv with the movie on it. I was going to draw either Daniel or Miyagi as a Crane, because of the kick of course, but I decided not to do it, not only because, if I'm honest, I’ve never been great with resemblance but I also felt it was too much.

Originally this was going to be a two pager but I realized that this thing could be done shorter which is the opposite of my usual method of starting a 12 pages comic and making it over 60.

So I’m either getting better or worse, but hey!, there’s movement!

Nice to know that Diego is strong and skilful dog at kung fu^^

I bet Diego will go pro... like... around the Olympics of 2036 lmao. And this could go two ways: he's either telling the truth or exaggerating in order to look cool... which would suggest he really wants to catch Lil's eye (even if he doesn't know it yet) lol

Finally we get to find out more about the increasingly less elusive Diego, this time his mysterious martial artist background! It's probably a safe bet that his unwavering persistence despite still being not so good only makes him even more endearing to Lil...even if she doesn't quite realize it yet due to their equally unwavering mutual cluelessness about their relationship. ^_^ As I've mentioned before, if Diego has a sister my first and only guess would've been Vivi the Corgi, but she has a clearly different facial design than the character here despite sharing the same species and fur coloring...would've been wild if Vivi had actually shown up in this pic, tho XD

Well, he's getting there lol

I think it's the second but not by a lot, At least he didn't claim to actually have used chopsticks

Ah yeah, I actually had forgotten about that one, Maybe a cousin? lmao
