Down Memory Lane

No Comments
Delayed a day , but here it is! This page needed me to draw different scenes from the past, and I sure had a good time coming up with them. The first one was supposed to be about when things were alright. I tried a picnic idea first but then I thought “why not an actual picture?”  So I went with that idea and figured I wouldnt be with casual clothes in it so gave them something fancy and old. Thats why everyone seems happy excep lil Mora, being the tomboy she is, she would hate getting all clean and dressed up like that. I also had fun drawing Diana in more casual clothing and lastly with the chance of drawing James again. The big jerk, hehe.

    Precious Memories :3

    I dont like that wolf dude based on Mora’s description >:C but i liked the soft expression on Alej ^^

  • NinjaOkami

    Previous Memories indeed and a slightly dirty one for alejs part too :p

  • MeMyself&Kai

    Alejandra is the greatest character of Las Lindas in my opinon. (Though Rach and Tiggs are my #1s) <3

    I can never feel she's a villian though. Because I really feel for her. She thinks her best friend ruined her first relationship, after a childhood of parental abuse and poverty. Hopefully Mora will finally be able to reveal her intentions behind the whole event. And more than that, let's hope Alejandra listens. Even if it takes awhile, for that wound to be healed, Patches will be a much better person afterward.<3

  • Brian

    Oh Randal :P

  • Gargravarr

    I said it on the previous page, and I’ll say it again: This isn’t going to end well.

  • Erik

    My bet is that Moya slept with him to prove that he was a cheater and no good.

  • shade

    lol yay baby randel! some deep stuff is goin down. cant wait for more

  • Lizzy

    oh yeah, I always sleep with my friends’ boyfriends to prove a point. definitely.

    • Zarylo

      i have the feel that’s the way mora ticks. Not a good way indeed but no one’s perfect right?

  • antcow

    I actually feel a little jelous of that guy up there. >:(

  • Strife23

    I think the third panel would look amazingly cute/sexy as a full pic. Perhaps an idea for a future bazaar item hmmm?

  • Ashiyama

    Finally, we get to the heart of the matter. The center of what this story is really all about! Took us long enough after the fiasco at that party where Alej ended up getting exposed to the crowd and Miles and Taffy broke up.

  • Renadt

    Yep. Methinks this won’t end well either. But at least Mora’s heart was in the right place.

  • SephMacLeod

    once again it looks like Mora fucked things up by.. fucking things….big surprise?

  • Neku

    Both ways were the hard way. One would have hurt but let you help her, one tried to help her but ended up causing the pain. Honestly, not seeing the second for what it would do to the relationship is not a common train of thought. >_>

    • revilnemesis3

      okay, can you elaborate?

      you worded it pretty strangely

      • Neku

        Here’s to hoping the Reply button worked out well…
        To let Alej get hurt by finding out the guy’s a creep still keeps the friendship intact as long as Mora doesn’t pull some stupid “I told you so” attitude.
        To demonstrate to Alej that the guy’s a creep and prove her words, however, makes Mora the source of the pain. Same end result with him–he’s a creep–but Mora becomes part of the problem.
        It is not a common train of thought for people to want to take the second option, nor to miss seeing what the second option would do to a friendship.

  • Albert

    Awwwww!!!! That family picture is so cute. I especially like Mora’s expression and Randal in his little suit and tie.

  • Kor

    Why is it that bastards like that always get the cute girls? >:(

    • kittehwolf

      Because their ego hasn’t been taken down a peg or two… with that baseball bat that lies in the wardrobe.

      • Kor

        or the morning star under bed

      • Razyn

        dont forget to hit two home runs!!

      • Flyboy1945

        Hell, just get a good old fashioned Louisville Slugger, That’ll take him down a peg. Bloody hate guys like that, they make it look like all guys are pigs, and of course he’s a Jock.

      • ferrogan

        guys like this always get girls cuz 2 main reasons:
        1- They go for what they want and dont mind hurting other people’s feeling or ruining some poor girl’s heart, they go without remorse and hesitation and girls like this.

        2- girls like bad boys: many women will disagree with me, but deep inside they know that when they like someone, they want him to just “take” isntead of asking permission, they love that feeling of been possess.

        All this explains why the good guy, the guy that really loves this women is friendzoned, because the good guys ask for permission.

    • Zarylo

      and why do the “nice” guys suffer because of their reputation?

      • ferrogan

        they dont suffer, they are just affected by a “tag” that is blank, meaning that even if he is “a nice guy” girls just dont know what to expect from them, instead, “bad guys” display security in themself (also a traith highly attractive to women) and their “tag” is filled with the illusion that hanging with this guy might be cool or fun.

        I f#$@1 know all this because i’ve been on both sides good guy and bad boy, plus all the talk i do with my classmates in college, 80% of my classmates are female so you can really learn a lo

      • Zarylo

        about same applies to my friends, i’m not talking about manliness though …

      • Zarylo

        thanks for sharing your point of view ^^

  • Katzy

    D: Oh Mora, that’s never the way to show a friend that her guy is no good.
    You need to pay ANOTHER girl to show her FOR YOU. :D

    Duh~

  • Makai

    Good god all these comments and this page hasn’t been out for a single full day yet. Chalo, I really hope where ever you are, you do appreciate these fans of yours. Most artist/writers would kill for it… not literally tho. Don’t get any ideas

  • Razyn

    oh mi gawd they were so fucking cute!!!!!!!!!!! <3

    • Zarylo

      “fucking cute”? that kinda sounds like pedophile to me xD

      • Squakka

        What, you’ve never thought the person you were attracted to (of age) is cute as well as sexy? or, in the other direction, you’ve never thought kids, animals, or whatnot, as (non-sexually) “fucking cute”? x3

  • TheCultist

    Hard to believe this stalwart woman who bears the name “Coldthorn” so appropriately would so easily give in to some chump’s weak seductions.

    • Razmoudah

      It’s called experience. Until you have enough experience to recognize them for what they are it can be rather challenging to avoid getting manipulated by them.

    • Zarylo

      if there is something you really wish for a really long time and never ever got it; and it suddenly “seems” to be within your grasp; then you are doing whatever you think it takes to make it true.
      Mora knew how hard reality is, she did not. She knows know though and thus bears the attitude she does know. Neither trusting guys but also nor her (“cheater”) childhood friend.

  • jwink2236

    man I have to say MORA’S MOM IS SO FREAKING HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Total Milf

    • Albert

      Damn straight. She especially looks hot in then second panel with her hands on her hips. But what is Randal doing in that picture? Trying to block Alej and Mora from Diana’s anger maybe.

      • Zarylo

        he sure is ^^

  • Banter-O-Rilley

    I like the sepia touch the family picture has, adds to the Nostalgia Effect.
    Mora was looking out for Alej, but I think she acted a little too…’hands-on’ in that she stood between the heartbreak and the unfaithfulness, changing Who was to Blame for everything.
    A strategy prone to backfire, but at least it’s clearer now where the enmity sprang from.
    Great work in both Story and Art this week!!

    • Albert

      It was a bit extreme but maybe she didn’t actually sleep with him. She could have just seduced him long enough to attract him to her to prove that he was no good and Alej took it the wrong way. People assumed that she jumped in bed with him to prove a point but she could have easily made her point clear without going that far. Also I have seen people do this in other stories as well. Their friend is to infatuated with the jerk to see what he is so they get proof by doing this to show their friend the truth

  • Sparky Face

    Dirty Dirty Memories.

  • astersa

    I love the image of the third panel: 3

  • Victor

    Oh, so THAT’s the High School crush Mora was talking about earlier this month.
    Well, the pieces are starting to come together.

  • astersa

    it gets interesting: 3

  • Numba1Guy

    3rd panel is the cutest look I’ve ever seen Alej make, great job this comic is getting better and better, art and story wise.

  • otterpoet

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions… no Mora, I don’t think she understood at all :(

  • Leo

    Hope mora can patch things up with patches *pun intended* :<

    • Zarylo

      if it wasn’t for the comment between the *stars* and the smiley it mayhaps would have been a tad funny.

  • Chaos

    One thing I got to know, who is Mora’s father. I can see a lot of her mother in her, but the ears do not match. She has big cute floppy bunny ears. So begs the question, who is her dad?

  • Valthazar

    -sighs- well well, that does sound like Mora. trying to fix things with her own hands. especially with the issue of Patches ex-boyfriend. goddamn it’s like waving a furry cotton ball infront of a kitten, (It’s evitable that they’re gonna get distracted and attack it it.) Mora’s a stubborn dangerous chick, her heart may have been in the right place but her methods are extremely bold. hope things with her and patches get “patched up”

  • Explosion Zuruck

    SWEET! CHALO’S A PERV JUST LIKE ME! [And I'm a HELLUVA lot WORSE!]

    • Zarylo

      Indeed. Bet you are the one in the second panel as well.
      *partial sarcasm warning*

      • Random Guy

        Egregious use of sarcasm has been detected.

  • Elderahn

    Well, thats probably the single silliest thing MOra could have done. Prove the guys disloyalty by provoking it in the first place. Wether it would have happened naturaly or not (heavy leaning towards would), the end result would have been so fucking obvious that ANYONE could have spotted it. I mean of course it would backfire! Having your BF cheat on you is bad enough, but when a close friend/near relative PERSONALY engineers the situation, thats not going to end well. So no, her heart was not in the right place in my book! Alejandra has no reason to be out for blood this long, but good fucking luck getting anything civil out of someone you have personaly humiliated, and then been accessory for a public humiliation as well (the festival).

  • ferrogan

    they dont suffer, they are just affected by a “tag” that is blank, meaning that even if he is “a nice guy” girls just dont know what to expect from them, instead, “bad guys” display security in themself (also a traith highly attractive to women) and their “tag” is filled with the illusion that hanging with this guy might be cool or fun.

  • wolfzero001

    Usually, I like wolves ( … That is a wolf, right? o.o If he is, that is the bluest looking wolf I’ve ever seen. lol xD ) but for that dude, I’ll make an exception! * gets out chainsaw, evil grin on my face* Also, the look on little Mora’s face in that old picture is pricless! xD … In a good way of course. :3

  • RGD

    Still one question where is Moras father?

    • Uhl

      MIA. Current whereabouts unknown.

  • Lime

    I really hope that the reason Alej hates Mora so much isn’t because of some guy, as that’s kind of a shallow reason to want to destroy someone. And yes, I know it hurts emotionally, yada yada, but you get over the pain no matter how much we tell ourselves we wont. And personally, I think Alej is a better character than that so I hope Mora finds out she’s very wrong about Alej’s reasons.

    I can’t speak for other people, but I’ll be extremely disappointed at the writers lack of creativity if that’s indeed the real reason for her hatred. Not to mention it’s an extremely stereotypical and cliche way to portray female characters. Just saying.

    • Kizzness

      I’m going to have to agree with Lime: If the only reason Alej is so hell bent on destroying Mora is over some high school boy troubles, I’m quite disappointed. Sure, it’s a betrayal, but it doesn’t look like her life suffered drastically from not having this guy :/ (I mean, he was a dick, after all).

      I really, really hope there’s more to this story than just some dude. As far as the grudges go, most of the characters are pretty bland in their reasons for having such a deep rooted dislike towards one another.

    • MrAMP

      It could be somewhat deeper than that in the sense that Alej could have known about this guys “activities” and was just using him (reverse psychology) and then got PO’ed at Mora for ruining her plan. Might not be the case here considering the third panel and all, but it is a possibility.

      Then again, people (and primes for that matter) do fret over the silliest things.

      • Neku

        Mora abandoned home. Mora inherited a farm she effectively up and left. Partied herself around while Alej actually studied and worked for her keep. From what I see, it’s not clear where Alej and Mora were when Diana passed away, but likely they were in a position that Mora wasn’t around for her mother. There are plenty of reasons for the fire to be fueled–the high school incident was just the trigger.

  • Explosion Zuruck

    Wow. I took a second look at the third panel. Definitely me. But a lot more pervy and a lot more furry…… *Starts getting a VERY perverted grin* Wheres my program Blender?

  • Twinsnake

    The readers here seem to have a severe case of short term memory. Doesn’t anyone remember how Mora left the farm when she was younger to go look for her father? Leaving Diana all alone in the farm?
    I’m guessing that would be a bit of a factor in their animosity.

  • http://www.furaffinity.net/user/maverikat/ MaveriKat

    Damn… Diana looks awesome… and Alej is oddly… VERY cute in her late teens.

    I can only hope this meeting goes well; but Twinsnake is right. Alej loved Diana as if SHE were her mother. That Mora would up and leave is probably a HUGE factor in Alej’s animosity.

  • revilnemesis3

    Okay people listen up: yes this is stupid if this is all there is but it might not be the unrealistic.

    I have three possibilities, one: Mora doesn’t know the real story and might think this is why Alej is mad at her, two: the most unlikely one, Alej holds a grudge for a long time, or three: Alej knows Mora was right but Alej doesn’t want to admit she was wrong, which does happen.

    Out of the three possibilities I hope it is the first one.

  • blurg

    What wouldja dooooo, for a flower barn~

    • revilnemesis3

      did you just reference the Klondike Bar commercials?

  • trintin

    huh? He doesn’t look like http://laslindas.katbox.net/archive/some-things-are-simple/ guy :S ahh well xD

  • http://www.furaffinity.net BlackWind

    Well a while back when Randal was speaking with Mora she told him she left the farm to look for her father
    She found him and found out her mom was sending him money to “support” him even after leaving her
    So she despised him afterwards (wether he’s alive or not is another story) thus Diana passed away while
    Mora Randal and Alej had gone their separate ways, so when Mora came back she was informed she inherited the Las Lindas farm thus the story began of sorts

    • moo

      Actually, Mora never found her dad but you are right about the rest. Go to the archives and read “All your getting”

  • http://www.furaffinity.net BlackWind

    “Building an empire” is our view into Alejandra’s past up to present point so eventually all the pieces will fit the puzzle

  • phalanges1972

    Dawww, the little calves are so darned CUTE!

  • http://laslindas.katbox.net/ SteelWings

    Because seducing your friends boyfriend into cheating on her with you shows that you really really care =3

  • Jeremy Canine

    sweet

  • Elena

    Is Mora’s dad a rabbit?

  • REB_MAN

    I like this first panel… reminds me of a photo I took when I was young =D

  • zon

    Alejandra in the fist panel reminds me of a friend from when i was young
