Naturally, I wanted to do something special for comic 100, so I decided to use Kirby's eating tendencies in a retelling of Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The tradition of going all-out for a hundredth (200, 300, etc) strip was thus laid in stone...and sometimes it has me kicking myself because of how involved each strip ends up being.

TODAY IS A MONUMENTAL DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
...Because it's the 100th comic of Brawl in the Family, of course!
Today's comic is my own little nod to one of my favorite children's books, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. In early August, while thinking up BitF ideas during a class on teaching (I still doodle, regardless of the class), I ended up sketching ideas that eventually became the Groceries and Phendrana comics (as well as Meta Knight's Black Mage costume in Trick or Treat). During break, I came across the caterpillar book in the school's library and instantly wanted to put a Kirby twist on the story.
It's thrilling to reach this new milestone! To celebrate, have a new image:
