Patreon Pin Up 5/16 (Patreon)

I thought Patreon supporters deserved an early warning that five foot two inches of problems are about to land in the world of Switch at the end of this chapter! Introducing the main character's nemesis in the second to last chapter may seem a bit late in the game from a narrative standpoint, but I've got big plans for Abbey McKay as my comics will go on and I've been dying to get to her.  I don't want to say too much about her before she's even properly introduced, but I've got a few details for you guys here that shouldn't blow much.

Abbey got to be the most popular girl at Tecumseh High School largely due to her steadfast dedication (some would say obsession) to her public image.  Abbey plays up her cute, youthful appearance to maximum effect, with a carefully rehearsed adorable giggle and the ability to produce real tears as needed being tools in her kit.

Does this make her a bad person?  Most people don't seem to think so.  A little superficial perhaps, as sharp observers will notice she seems to be hiding her true self.  But she's nice to everyone she meets.  She even reaches out to troubled peers and helps them with their problems, as she did with Trish and Mary Carter.

But an altercation with Casey Holland led to Abbey getting punched in the face at school.  And if Casey had known the consequences of doing so, she might have kept her hands to herself.  Having her perfect looks tarnished by a black eye for a whole week was an unforgivable offense to Abbey on a deep emotional level.  And ever since then she feels like she can never get back at Casey enough.

Continued in the upcoming bonus chapter! :D
