My contribution to the recent Pendog update! I wrote and storyboarded this Beetrice PSA and @sushicatz textured the thumbnails I made and put it all together in a video. (These are just thumbnails, not completed boards!) The short was loosely based on a real anti-union PSA from 1958 called "And Women Shall Weep" which borrowed, exaggerated and straight-up lied about real-world events tied to a labour movement in Princeton, Indiana. (Here's a link to an interesting article about this). In response, the International Association of Machinists released their own film, "Anatomy of a Lie", which refutes just about every claim "And Women Shall Weep" makes.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

Just wanted to make a proper list of all the antagonistic, allied, and ambivilent animations we've got for our dear librarian:

Maisy: Likes her (This is good)! Wants all the other toons to leave her alone. Protective of her.

Strawbetty & Seamore: Like her (This is good). enjoy staying with her & Emma, but don't have much power themselves. They came to her for help, and won't be able to do much if another character starts invading.

Winerva: Likes her (This is good)? Clearly appreciates the interest, but isn't too keen in intervening beyond helping folks navigate the site & snoop into her personal blog (which is not, admittedly, a great thing to do). A storyteller at heart, she's probably going to stay as an observer unless something messes with her directly.

Winnie: Unknown, likely positive? Penny has received indirect help from the two through her job at the R.W Winfield Library.

Millie: Unknown, likely positive? She IS confirmed to be Penny's favorite character, so I'd be surprised if Millie didn't have a soft spot for Penny.

Lancer: Unknown. has started running around the site a bit, but his aims & interests are currently a mystery.

Tellie Lectric: unknown, we haven't seen anything about this dude's actual personality yet.

Dorothy: Unknown. Doesn't seem to know of her existence yet, but overall would prefer to be left to rest. Might not take kindly to her digging him up.

Slishy Slasher: Unclear, but prooobably hates her. She seems to blame a lot of Jayne's current situation on her, and considering she is literally a serial killer rn, that's probably not a good thing for Penny. Opinion might change once the Zine's finished.

Beetrice: Likes Her (This is Bad). probably wants to use her to find Strawbetty & Seamore. Seems to have some influence over her dreams.

Hecate: Likes Her (This is REALLY Bad). seems to want to use her platform to spread her influence. Really wants her to Come To The Party.

Bonus!
