Replace Chevy Chase with Billy Murray, only Abed notices.

As an author you describe yourself as wanting to write stories with strong, independent female leads who don't "need a man," but in your description

Waking up on Earth she discovers the portals have stopped working and that she must team up with Earth’s Gatekeeper, Derek, to get back to Amara.

Your story falls back on the classic "Damsel in Distress" trope you said you wanted to avoid. I'm sure the story is more complex in the actual book, but based on the description this seems like a significant contradiction.

I was flipping through your old posts, and your third drawing contains a socially awkward individual who doesn't know how to end conversations and stands too close to the other persons face, and that socially awkward person bears a STRIKING resemblance to your caricature of Don. Any comment?
