Anonymous asked: I bought your Bed and Breakfast story and I have a question. In Part 4 of the script there's mention of a "Bubblegum bimbo" who would be walking by in the background. I'm sort of curious how you imagined her and why she was cut?

Hey Anon, what an interesting question! I had completely forgotten about that detail! 

Can’t say I remember consciously deciding to cut the Bubblegum bimbo. In adapting Limerick’s script, I often tried to distill the essence of a scene rather than get stuck on specifics. Part 4 is the “aftermath”: society has adjusted to the virus’ effects, people aren’t fucking in the streets anymore and bimbos are contributing members, each in their own special way. Every transformee in the hotel has a specific “job”, so what’s our “Bubblegum bimbo” doing simply walking around? I felt like readers might ask themselves that same question and she’d end up being distracting. If I can’t come up with a good reason to draw something, I’d rather spend the time and effort elsewhere. Or maybe I was just lazy.

As for her look, I’m picturing something very pink, like this (though I suppose she could also be made of bubblegum):
