This strip was fun to draw, it was a turn of pace from the previous strip. There is alot of expaining to do from this point on. The challange will be to keep the visuals interesting while all this goes on.

I was curious to see how many panels I could fit into a strip, again this was pretty tiring to draw. But I’d probably think it looks good tomorrow.

This was the most difficult strip to draw so far, it also took the longest to complete. I was more adventures with the layout of the artwork within the panels.

I mentioned some changes in yesterday’s post. Here’s the strip as it will appear in the papers. It’s a new format, and it was fun to draw in different panel sizes. I also tried to make the story telling tighter by writing the strip in a comic equivalent of a full sentence. Some of you might also notice that I’ve re-started the count as 1. Well consider everything before this as beta.

If you ‘click to continue’ you will see a different layout of the same strip.

I’m going to be very careful about making any promises about what I will do with this strip in the future, because I don’t want to go back on my words later. But there are some things that I feel I should address quickly.
