I thought it was high time we had another strip of Gaga fun! This costume was a joy to color. I certainly abused my pack of Photoshop sparkle brushes on this one, as you can probably tell. I have a personal philosophy that sparkles instantly make anything better, and Chapel’s Gaga homages are no exception. It was hard to find an iconic Gaga costume I hadn’t drawn yet (that wasn’t made of meat) but I really love this one. I also chose this costume because the blue-ish silver color palette would actually fit in really well at a wedding, don’t you think?

I don’t know about you guys, but I would love to attend one of these wedding shindigs Chapel goes too. I mean, a wedding where one of the guests shows up in a Gaga costume? Sign. Me. UP.

yeah a wedding like that would be very cool ashlee 11/12/12 reply I totally agree! I want to attend one of those! Emma 11/12/12 reply   I am now never apart from chapel! she is SO awesome! lala 10/5/12 reply Oh wow, I'm so flattered, thank you! Emma 10/5/12 reply   Plain black dress, beige nightgown, or Lady Gaga -- and nothing inbetween. Chapel does nothing by halves, does she? xheralt 1/22/12 reply Nope, she's an all-or-nothing type person when it comes to clothes! Emma 1/22/12 reply   i love how she's eating an egg fry! 1/20/12 reply Thanks! That's what I tend to eat for breakfast, too! Emma 1/22/12 reply   Chapel is AWESOME!! I love your comics, Emma! Blarb123 1/18/12 reply Awwww, thank you so much! Please keep reading them! Hearing lovely comments like this one really means the world to me. Emma 1/18/12 reply   does chapel have a birthday? 1/18/12 reply Yes, she does! It's April 21st. We'll have to throw an Internet birthday party for her this year! Emma 1/18/12 reply Hey! Chapel, the character, is 2 days older than me but wait... Didn't Chapel originate in 2009? Clockwork Wombat 10/29/12 reply No, I was only talking about the anniversary of the comic -- not Chapel the character's birthday! It later turned out I was wrong on the exact anniversary date, too. Emma 10/29/12 reply When is YOUR birthday Miss Emma? Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/18/12 reply It's February 13, less than a month away! :D Emma 1/19/12 reply That's a little over a month before my birthday! :) Emily13 1/19/12 reply Cool! Miss L.S.P 1/19/12 reply OH MY GOD THAT'S MY BEST FREIND'S BIRTHDAY!!!! Ginny Weasley fan 1/21/12 reply Wow, that's so cool! Your best friend has an awesome birthday, then! Emma 2/6/12 reply   Do you write in your own words?!?!?! you have really neat handwriting! jackie 1/16/12 reply It is my handwriting, but I made a font out of it, which makes it a bit neater! :D Emma 1/16/12 reply really? how? (if it's really complex it's okay you don't have to explain) :) 1/17/12 reply It's not complex at all, and I don't mind! What I did was I went to myscriptfont[dot]com. They have a chart that you download and fill out with your handwriting, and then they turn it into a font for free! It's VERY useful, and I'm really happy with the results! :D Emma 1/17/12 reply That sounds neat! Emily13 1/17/12 reply that sounds so cool! maybe i will try it out..... :) 1/18/12 reply   Hey Emma, does Chapel have a brother or something? In Jenga War Strategy, there's a picture of Chapel's family. It's not too clear, but I think there is another boy in the picture. Just wondering....... Miss L.S.P 1/15/12 reply for that matter Ms. Emma, do YOU have any brothers or sisters? Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/16/12 reply Nope, I don't! Sometimes I wish I did, though! Emma 1/16/12 reply how come he wasn't introduced in the beginning? 1/20/12 reply He's away at college, so that's why he's not seen in any of the strips! Emma 2/6/12 reply WOW, you're such an eagle eyed reader! I'm very flattered! And it was a good call, too. You're right! Chapel does have a brother! He'll be introduced later though...SPOILERS! Emma 1/16/12 reply Well, I remembered that picture on the wall, and when I checked back............. Miss L.S.P 1/17/12 reply   That was my first Chapel comic and I loved it!!!! Blarber423 1/15/12 reply You're going to love all of them, Emma's comics are great!! Ginny Weasley fan 1/15/12 reply Thanks so much! And just wondering, how did you find out about my comic? Emma 1/16/12 reply I've seen your illustrations in Stone Soup, because I have a subscription to it, and since you can't illustrate for them anymore, I saw somewhere in the front of one of the magazines that you had a website, so I decided to take a look. It's such a cool website!!!! Blarber423 2/7/12 reply   Her shoes are kinda strange. It's like the heel is in the front instead of the back. Miss L.S.P 1/14/12 reply I know, right? It's very fabulous! Emma 1/16/12 reply but they must be hard to walk in. 1/20/12 reply Yeah, they must be...oh Chapel, the things you do for fashion... Emma 2/6/12 reply   She looks really odd, but awesome. Why is Chapel being caught without her signature black dress in the first three panels?? Sasha 1/14/12 reply Well, I'm assuming that she just got up and is still in her pajamas..... Miss L.S.P 1/14/12 reply YEP, you called it! That's Chapel's nightgown. I've shown it before on one of the Chapel greeting cards, but this is the first time it's appeared in the comic! Emma 1/14/12 reply Actually, in the first season, one of the comics had her in her nightgown........ Miss L.S.P 1/16/12 reply Really? OH! *forgets own comics* Emma 1/16/12 reply   Emma, which Lady Gaga comic is your favorite? Miss L.S.P 1/14/12 reply Augh! How can I choose?! Emma 1/14/12 reply I like the Gaga Dress Code one! Miss L.S.P 1/14/12 reply True, that one is good. But STILL! They're my creations! How can I pick? Emma 1/16/12 reply   Chapel certainly has one thing going for her-- an interesting sense of fashion. Emily13 1/14/12 reply Yep, that's for sure! :D Emma 1/14/12 reply Hey Emma, have you ever submitted to Cricket or Cicada? I'm planning on submitting to one or both of them soon, as well as Creative Kids and/or Skipping Stones. They all look like great magazines! Emily13 1/17/12 reply I subscribe to both magazines, but haven't submitted to either yet! But definitely submit to Creative Kids and Skipping Stones, I've been published in both a few times and they're GREAT! Emma 1/17/12 reply I'm on a writing kick, so I definitely will soon. :) Emily13 1/17/12 reply   Chapel looks fabulous, yet scary in that last panel........ Miss L.S.P 1/14/12 reply .......but hey, she's going to a wedding so, why not? Miss L.S.P 1/14/12 reply i maybe a man, but there is one thing i have learned about women going to weddings (and who are not the bride themselves). NEVER try to out shine the bride. NEVER. the wedding is about the bride, not you. Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/14/12 reply Hahaha, that certainly does seem to be the case. Perhaps if Chapel were much older that outfit would be a problem, but only a she-demon bride would have an issue with a preteen being dressed to the nines. :) Tara A. 1/14/12 reply WAHHH I wake up and find you guys are having this awesome conversation! :D And I don't think the bride should have a problem with how Chapel's dressed -- I mean, Chapel's family's probably used to it by now, right? But who knows, maybe she's a Bridezilla... Emma 1/14/12 reply Well, I don't know...... it is the BRIDE'S day...... just be careful, Chapel. You wouldn't want the bride to throw a shoe at you for stealing the attention. Miss L.S.P 1/14/12 reply Oh dear! I don't think the bride would do THAT... Emma 1/14/12 reply you could be surprised by who would do that.... Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/14/12 reply Let's just hope that the bride has a more glamorous dress than what Chapel has right now. Miss L.S.P 1/15/12 reply I don't know, it's kind of hard to beat Gaga... Emma 1/16/12 reply You never know..... Miss L.S.P 1/16/12 reply are you sugesting that the bride is american maid from the tick? thats how she deals wioth her foes pins em to the wall with a high heeled shoe darlec 1/24/12 reply you are a MAN??? Like, are you a senior or something??? wacko#1 1/16/12 reply There's nothing wrong with being a man...... Miss L.S.P 1/16/12 reply Indeed. Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/17/12 reply It appears that i am by far older than you are. my real age is... well don't worry about it. the grim reaper hasn't succeeded in bagging me yet. Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/17/12 reply "This is the best comment thread ever," says the cartoonist, as she scrolls through her comments page grinning like a crazy person. Emma 1/17/12 reply O'RLY? Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/17/12 reply   Chapel looks a little scary in the last panel... Ginny Weasley fan 1/14/12 reply that dress reminds me of a bad 80's sci fi movie outfit. Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/14/12 reply HA! Oh gosh, best comment. Considering that's an outfit I drew straight from Lady Gaga herself, that's rather fitting. Emma 1/14/12 reply Completely true.... Ginny Weasley fan 1/14/12 reply It just reminds me that Gaga has no sense of style, taste, or sanity. Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/17/12 reply WHOA there! Ha ha! :D Emma 1/17/12 reply to be fair, back in the 80's, we ALL had bad fashion sense. man, just what was i thinking about when i had that mullet and neon green t shirt. >< Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/17/12 reply Oh dear... Emma 2/6/12 reply   Ever been a bridesmaid Emma? Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/14/12 reply No, but I HAVE been a flower girl! It was when I was 4, though, so I don't remember it too well. :) Emma 1/14/12 reply Lucky you! I went to a wedding when I was about three years old, so I wasn't asked to do anything but watch. Ginny Weasley fan 1/15/12 reply Lady Gaga is one of the worst-dressed celebrities, no offense any people who dress like Lady Gaga. wacko#1 1/16/12 reply I totally agree! But her music is great. TOTALLY. wacko#1 1/16/12 reply GaGa's music is good simply because she stole it all from better artist than she will ever be. I even find Dub Step to be better than Gaga. Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/22/12 reply Okay, THAT'S a bit harsh...dubstep is the weirdest music ever... Emma 1/23/12 reply Yes it was Harsh, but it is also the truth of my thoughts about it. I will not lie. Having survived the last three decades of pop and rock music ALONE has allowed me to see who really has talent from those who just being pushed by the "industry". Gaga is one those who are being pushed. She might have a good heart, but I think she is also being controlled into being what she is now just to pull attenchion to herself. oh, and you have NOT heard the weirdest music yet. TRUST me on this. Dr. Taxil Necrobane 1/24/12 reply Oh...okay, that's actually pretty interesting! Emma 2/6/12 reply I know! But, Dub step is really cool!!!! Miss L.S.P 1/29/12 reply
