Panel 1: Young witch Pepper, writing at her desk, with a feather pen and ink. She worries, clearly struggling to find inspiration with a white page, while her hand support her head. On the wall near to her a calendar with a big 'Deadline' in red written on it, circling a day. All the day before that one are striked with a cross except one. Whatever Pepper is supposed to write is up to the audience's imagination.
Panel 2. Suddenly, a powerful goddess emerges from a light before Pepper, her aura like a flame of pure golden light. She stands divine, while Pepper is captivated in awe before the gorgeous goddess, radiating light and life.
Pepper: Who... Who are you?!
Panel 3. The Goddess of Life bends slightly toward Pepper while creating a spell with her hands in a intense light a rounded object. She speaks with an air of complicity.
Goddess of Life: I am the Goddess of Life, and I've come to give you a special gift.
Panel 4. The Goddess of Life's gift is a lemon fruit. She beams with pride and happiness. Pepper looks resigned with a mixture of disappointment and exasperation.
Pepper: Of course...  
Goddess of Life: You're welcome.
This comic strip is a reference to the proverbial phrase: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade"

Bonus: Timelapse

While I'm painting, Krita periodically takes a snapshot of the process. Here is a video compilation of all the snapshots for this episode, accelerated a lot (an episode takes between 10 and 16 hours to complete).
