Back over Christmas when I was on vacation in Hawaii, my dad and I discovered this strange Japanese documentary show called Soko Ga Shiritai. One night, they had an episode on hoarders! These people rationalized every purchase they made, usually something along the lines of “but I NEED these 50 rolls of toilet paper!” I thought it would be fun to work this into a Chapel strip, because everyone has one thing that they almost hoard, right? For me it’s art supplies! I have way too many of them!
What about you guys? What things do you collect above anything else, to the point of almost hoarding? Let’s chat below!

Flapper, you look lovely.
You've got a hat box?
Planet of the Hats, I'm ready!
I hoard rocks.
Me: Rock! PREETTYYY.
Also, Chapel, I just wanted to invite you to a 1920's period party... hope you can make it!
P.S. If you want to see the show, it is on at 10 on Me-TV [channel]
By the way, I love your comics. I don't even remember how I stumbled upon Chapel, but I adore her quirky personality. You are very good at keeping her personality the same, is she based off anyone?
Please never stop :)
I have a sailor hat, mushroom hats, hats from the 30's, big floppy hats, one knitted hat, a duct tape hat,one with a feather sticking out, a top hat-ish thing (I call it my Mad Hatter Hat!) and quite a few more. I also have some from the Farmer's Market that are made from old clothes, so they're quite funky :)
Awww, I'm so glad you like Chapel's character so much! She's not based on anybody, no. Sometimes things she does will be slightly based on things I've seen people do in real life, but her character is entirely invented.
Yes, I have quite a bit. I love love love hats! It's one of my addictions, but then we have five or six wardrobes filled with costumes at my house, too. :)
Basically it's like one giant interactive play and we have seven foot canvas backdrops to complete the scene!
My favorite costume is my fairy costume, but mad science is a close second! We also have Elizabethan (that was made for and English project in school), Renaissance, Knight, Pirate, Mermaid, Spa Assistant, Nurse, Scientist, Bunny, Fairy, Doll, Cinderella (raggy dress with ball gown under)and all the princesses, Bollywood, Elf, Witch/Wizard, and more. We offer most of these as themes, plus ones where costumes aren't needed :)
recently my grandpa brought back this big box of weird treats from an airport in Japan. I obsess over the packaging of EVERYTHING and refuse to throw out the wrappers because they're so pretty.
I just started a collection of other people's things I find in library books. Anyone else do that?
I'm always super excited when i find something...so far what I have is this really cool b&w photo and a bookmark someone made by laminating some really cool old stamps (from Russia, I think.)
But i used to collect quarters! Now, I guess you could say I collect posters of my interests...my hangout room has, like twenty billion Harry Potter and Hunger Games posters in it ;)
And my room's got One Direction. lol i've caught the Direction Infection <33333
and oh my gosh! The new Chapel intro is so awesome. "Vacuums have bags of dirt inside them! I found an awesome hat and changed the sign to dogs ON biciycles! Bye!"
Ahahahahhaha.
By the way, I aspire to be a geologist writer... so... I like rocks :)
This also reminds me- I think everyone is a little OCD about something. For me, it's marker caps. If the wrong colour marker caps are on the wrong marker, it REALLY bothers me. Do you have one of those too?
I'm not OCD about marker caps, but I am about other things. For example the dust jackets on books! If the top of the dust jacket isn't flat in line with the top of the book cover, say if it's ticking up a bit, I get really annoyed and have to fix it right away. What about anyone else? What are your OCD tendencies?
I have been paid back ON THE WHOLE for writing somewhat spoiled diary entries. Once when I was about 4 I wrote about me being upset because I couldn't find the TV show I wanted... SO SPOILED.
(Now stuff like that doesn't happen anymore because I REALLY rarely watch TV.)
I almost hoard a pretty long list of things:
-books
-things with cats
-paints (this is BY FAR the worst)
-pretty paper
-lots of little trinkets + such.
Oh, and I'm a pack rat, but I'm not sure that counts....
'Me and my dad are going to Fairway. (I prefer Whole Foods.) He just called the car.'
Forgive me! I was only 6!
Sorry, I'm soo bored and just commenting randomly.... :)
but actually, it's not TOOOOOOO hard to type Harry Potter....I make an effort to give Mr. Potter the most honor as possible XD
But yes, on Emma's tumblr, I use HPPWNSALL as my ask sign off so she knows it's me, as I don't have a tumblr.
SO YEAH
Comment if you actually know what the Hufflepuff i'm talking about :D
Oh, and this nickname is an A Very Potter Sequel reference lol XDDDD
So I stole my friend-who's-not-really-interested-in-HP-but-I-made-her-get-an-early-access-account-anyway's account, and then I GOT RAVENCLAW YAY
You should be my frienddddd!!!!
dang it, i guess that carbon dates the both of us. ><

persistent little bugger isn't it?
I collect a lot of things, but luckily I've never gotten to the point of hoarding...
On a side note, I love Chapel's quilt, I'd love to have one like that for my own bed! :P
i do collect some things from time to time, but i have not reached that level of otaku-ness that chapel seems to have about hats.
well the last three i still collect, the others, not so much these days.
I also should add, I am NOT with out a temper of my own. If someone goes after someone or something that i love and/or care for, i will defend my friends and loved one to the last bit of strength i have!
