Chansey Chansey

I've got a little surprise planned for spring - it's a little minicomic in three parts! My sister helped write it!

It features one of these little muffinbutts, Chansey. This one works for the Kanto Garda, hence the triskele on her hat. I've been playing around with their design - especially how people like to think that they're rather bird-like, so this one has a beaky little mouth and the species as a whole has feathers that grow even fluffier as they evolve.

Chansey in the Burning Bridges world are one of the few pokemon that go to university, as government policy awards them nursing scholarships automatically due to their species. Many other pokemon have protested against this scheme, since it's... well... racist. But there's no denying Chansey are biologically best-adapted to careers in medicine, and the scheme has stayed that way for decades.

The bestselling memoir 'I know why the caged Chansey sings' is based on the life of a chansey forced to attend nursing school as it was the only way she could get a job. It's hailed as a modern classic, celebrating the inherent racism in the Kantonese university system.

Carl the Mr Mime attended psychology school at university as well, thanks to a little nepotism - you can see him on page 7.
