Heh, very, very cute... and that Shadwell is what tips the scales into sainthood is a nice touch. I love how you showed each of them in turn to make their argument, and Crowley's expression looking over his glasses. And Thursday, always the mystery :)

Thanks :) I think Newt very nearly qualified for sainthood himself after working with Shadwell, but the years and effort Madame Tracy put into it definitely make her a saint.

I'm glad you like the format :)

FANTASTIC work, "Secret" Artist! :D I grinned so much through the whole thing; I guessed it was Madam Tracy early on and was like, "Come on, she's a dear, you can't damn her!"... and then the penultimate panel sent me into a gigglefit. And their expressions are just utterly perfect, too!

Madame Tracy's Thursdays, the eternal mystery...

*sshh* Don't give it away ;)

Aw, they wouldn't be so mean as to condemn her. Crowley's only arguing for the sake of it (gotta earn that paycheck somehow) and Aziraphale had that ace up his sleeve all along, naturally.

Aw, this is the cutest. "--or rather sways drunkenly through restaurants, parks, and the backroom of a dusty bookstore in Soho" cracked me up. When people in real life get tipsy and argue the finer points of damnation and salvation, it tends to get obnoxious fast- but here you've just made it adorable.

I like the composition (or layout, I'm not sure of the correct term) a lot. Starting with the silhouettes, seeing one face at a time, then showing both characters at their most clear when the main point of the argument is revealed, then finishing back where we started. Nice progression.

Those two can't have a debate about anything without it becoming endless (they are immortal, after all), but at least they're cute when they do it.

I really enjoyed working from a slightly "cinematic" angle :) The last panel, the double punchline, was genuinely an afterthought. It just didn't seem totally finished until it circled back around, endlessly...
