Prologue - Page 1: The Youthful Couple

Well, this is it. This project has been literally years in the making, as it's been brewing in my mind since I first finished the game in 2000 (coherent scenes that I recall to this day didn't start forming until summer of 2002). At any rate, I had been putting it off and putting it off, until finally, just this last April, when I came back to this site after a long absence and discovered that Mother 3 was soon to be released. That brought back the fanboy in me, and I wasted no time in making plans for a comic series of my favorite game in the whole trilogy - Mother 1. The mysterious elements of this game, and the uncanny landscapes which remind me of my childhood, have long held me entranced. So, I present to you what has been on paper only since April, but what has been cooking up in my mind since six years earlier.
To comment on this specific page, I'd like to admit that the introductory narrative was a bad decision on my part. For future reference, the phrase "Little did they know" automatically cheese-ifies ANY piece of fiction. George and Maria needed no formal introduction - they introduce each other. I should have used a single subtitle saying "Outskirts of a rural American town, circa 1906", but I guess it's all water under the bridge now.

I knew I wanted the doll to change its facial expression (the one and only time it ever does) just before Ninten decked its lights out, but originally I was going to make it a despairing "uh-oh!" face. I then realized that that would be inconsistent with the story, and it would make more sense for it to give off a bemused, "heh!" face instead.
I'm sure you're all wondering what the heck I'm talking about, but anyone who's familiar with the fan theories surrounding the poltergeist phenomenon at Ninten's house should be able to figure it out.

Junior organizer kit= REALLY weird gift to give your *newborn* niece (lots of stuff to choke on!), but I felt the need to tie in her gift with the role she plays in the game.
Also, it's been so long I actually had to re-learn how to draw the twins!

kenisu3000 Chapter 1 - Page 48: What Happened With Mimmie
kenisu - #48
As you may be able to tell, in the first flashback panel, where Mimmie is looking at her door, I accidentally and absentmindedly gave her Minnie's color scheme... then realized what I had done, went "oh, snap" and erased the red as well I could, and replaced it with the purple scheme - though it's still very red-tinted.

Blasted twins.
