"Snork" is the best ugly-crying sound effect. I get a stupid grin on my face every time I read it ;)

I had a lot of fun drawing Disgust and Misery on these few pages - those two emotions have really great facial expressions that go with them. With some of the vices/emotions, I had to choose whether the character's appearance would embody the vice, or inspire the vice. With Disgust, for example, I decided that I'd go with them being disgustED, not disgustING.

Correspondingly then, Disgust wears gloves because they do NOT want to get any of your germs, thank you very much! They also wear a high collared shirt with a crisp, spotless white tux. With Misery's clothing, I wanted to make her look as as dour and frumpy as possible. The veil is a bit of a pain though, to be honest, since it obscures her face/emotions. I suppose I could have left it off, but it's just such a strong symbol for mourning that I'm loathe to be rid of it. All her jewelry is also tear-drop shaped.
