Dawn's Dictionary Drama

My new Webcomic, Dawn's Dictionary Drama, is up and live. For each of the 110 comic strips in each story, I was given a random word that I needed to incorporate visually into the comic — either by having a character say it, or by having it appear on some object. At the start, the words are easy. As the story goes on, the words become more difficult to use. As an example, in the first story, one of the first words is Personal and one of the last words is Caramelizing. Check it out!
