#The Ghost and Molly McGee

So uh my brain cooked up a concept for corrupted wraith Ollie Chen.

Tried to mix in some influence from the OG Chairman, only after I finished coloring did I realize he kind of looks like Grandfather from KND.

As for a story to go with it, what I have so far is Ollie trying to cure all of the corrupted ghosts with his chairman powers and accidentally absorbing the corruption. Luckily Molly's there to calm him down and restore him.

Tweaked my designs for Scratch’s parents a little.

Wanted Rory to have more of a “cool mom” vibe, and gave Dante’s pose a bit more personality.

It's been a while since I've posted some Molly McGee, so here are some more miscellaneous screenshots.

Was doublechecking the spelling for this word for a fic since it was one half of the last thing Todd says to Molly before leaving, and then freaked out when I saw what it actually means in Italian, beyond just saying goodbye.

If that word choice was intentional–with that meaning behind it–then that changes the ending of TGAMM even further.

Whether he meant it or not, Scratch WAS genuinely promising to see Molly again.

This should’ve been made part of her with manny in her life, (which Disney and staff should’ve made top priority of her origins,) another case white people writing poc ethnicity.

I say amphibia moon girl devil dinosaur and ghost and molly McGee did it better. 💖 (but that’s just me)

The Owl House vs. Amphibia: BIPOC Representation as a POC Viewer

Okay so I’ve been sitting with this for a while, and as a POC myself, I really want to talk about how The Owl House and Amphibia approached BIPOC representation—because honestly? Amphibia did it way better.

Let’s start with The Owl House. Luz is a Dominican-American girl, right? But it really felt like her cultural identity was just there. Like, surface-level (not saying this is a bad thing but I wish her background was explored more). She’s brown-coded, yeah, but the show barely explores what that means for her. There’s a few references (her mom, her name, the occasional food mention), but it never felt like her heritage shaped who she was or how she saw the world. Luz could’ve been literally any background and the plot wouldn’t change. That’s a little disappointing for a POC main character—it feels like the representation was more of a checkbox than something fully integrated into her story.

Now contrast that with Amphibia. Anne is Thai-American, and it shows. Her culture is part of her character in a natural and loving way. We see her family, we see Thai food, the language, traditions, even a whole episode set in a Thai temple in LA. Her identity isn’t just an aesthetic, it matters to who she is and how she moves through both Earth and Amphibia. It’s never forced, it just is. THAT’S representation.

And I’m not saying Luz isn’t important representation—she is. But as someone who’s always hungry for deeper, more authentic stories about people like me, Anne’s journey just hit so much harder. She felt real. Luz, while a fun and quirky protagonist, just didn’t have that same level of depth when it came to her identity as a young woman of color.

Compared to Anne’s cultural depth, Luz often felt more like a character with BIPOC aesthetics rather than fully realized representation. It wasn’t entirely absent, but for a groundbreaking show with an openly queer Latina lead, the lack of a deep cultural presence was a missed opportunity. The Owl House did incredible work with LGBTQ+ representation, but imagine if Luz’s Dominican identity was explored with the same level of care that her queerness was. That would’ve been everything.

Anne’s story wasn’t about being Thai, but her Thai identity was always present. Luz’s story, however, didn’t integrate her Dominican identity as naturally—it felt more like a label rather than a lived experience. That’s why Anne’s representation felt more effective (to me at least); it was simply part of her, without having to be a grand statement.

Anyway, this isn’t about tearing down one show or putting the creators on blast. Both shows did so much for queer and BIPOC kids in animation. But I do think it’s okay to want more.

Would love to hear what others think.

Dear Mayor McGee, do you have any plans to declare additional anniversary days?

Like, I think you can have a memorial day to celebrate the victory you guys earned by defeating Jinx and her henchmen. If it can officially be a holiday in your city, it's going to be even better.

Or, you can probably do a parade or party for that day?

And updated Dante and Rory's ghost designs, as well. 😊

I couldn't stop thinking about all of the story possibilities after "The End" of The Ghost & Molly McGee. I always love a good dramatic reveal, and a near-death experience seemed like a great way for Adia to get a glimpse of what her best friend was up to for the past decade. Some more thoughts under the cut!

Technically, this comic works whether Scratch remembers the events of his "afterlife" or not, but I think it's a little more fun if he doesn't. Considering his tendency to avoid his past, I don't think he would want to figure out why his soul is so loosely attached to his body. It would take some outside pressure from his bestie(s).
