Summary:

What did you like about the episode?: Trucy claims she’s better at doing homework if I sit down and work with her, so I guess this is my mandated book report time. She even let me borrow some of her extra book report worksheets so I could write my thoughts down ‘officially’ – her words, not mine. (Her definition of “doing homework” involves an awful lot of practicing for the school talent show next week with me as her test audience...) Anyways, this episode was a solid meh. I just think it’s a bit derivative, especially the Evil Magistrate’s whole spiel. ‘Oh look at me, I was so evil but now I’ve learned my lesson and I’m ready to come back to society and teach everyone about how morally superior I am!’ We get it, you’re good now. That doesn’t mean I have to like your forced morals about teamwork. Final Grade: C- (Give the Magistrate some time. You'll fall in love with him eventually. - M.F.)

Written for the @tbczine, a fanzine celebrating the relationship between Nick & Maya.

My piece for @tbczine, a Nick and Maya zine! Honestly one of my fave parts of the og trilogy was the relationship between Phoenix, Maya and Pearl, they truly are THE disaster sibling trio ever 😆

I always liked the idea of the three of them going around Japanifornia and getting into random situations outside of the usual law case stuff. So here they are attending Will Powers' Walk of Fame star ceremony! I deffo experimented with a looser style for this piece, working directly off my sketch instead of doing line art, and I think it helped a bit with making my lines more dynamic~ (Tho handpainting the whole crowd was uhhhh maybe not the smartest choice lmao)

...And then I ended up slightly in charge which was not the plan but the zine is done, it's out, you can download it from itch.io for free, and you can read my fic from it on AO3. (Hey that rhymes-)

Nick and Maya's relationship is my favourite thing about this series, and it's been such a joy to be a part of a project that focuses solely on that 💘 @tbczine
