This was Brandy Cinnamon Wages’ Nashville blowout, as mentioned above. Also the ‘80s.
I ran this over with my office chair by mistake, so I traced it and redrew it. I lost some nuance in the expressions, so I went back to this one and marked it up some more, and glued it to another hacked up piece of paper. Now this is the version.
Mama and Papa Wages
Newly scanned drawing. Moira the witch catches David the lost soldier stealing her tomatoes outside of her cave in the wasteland.

Rhea Jinks came into the story just for exposition and to torment the main characters and push some plot development. There are so many other players to develop that I was less worried about her characterization or motivations, but she has taken on a life of her own anyway.
I souped-up some of the drawing in this scene where Brandy Cinnamon Wages’ ex-husband Mark gets in one last parting shot after their divorce is finalized, while his lawyer urges him to settle down.
I think I buried this new drawing in a thread so here it is again.
June heard the story from The Sand Keeper, who heard the story from Brandy Cinnamon Wages herself.
Brandy told her life story to pass time while she sorted the scrambled sand that would unlock the gate of the void, so she could fly into it.
The Wages, An Illustrated Story.
Dr. Ftero is Dr. Cleo’s contemporary successor. She uses her mobile radio to contact Brandy Cinnamon Wages who is unreachable in the wasteland. She asks Brandy to find the void and retrieve Cleo’s Camera before Eyedeevee can, so he can’t use it as a bridge to destroy the world.
Eyedeevee creates a wasteland that makes a portal to the void at its centre. In doing so he accidentally diverts and traps a country singer named Brandy Cinnamon Wages and her band into the wasteland while she is finishing a tour of Faterfair.
This is as good of an excuse as any to follow up with the “Crystal Wages as ‘70s maid of honour” drawing.
