A lot of weird artist-y bits in this one. For one thing, this was ORIGINALLY supposed to be the big, climactic panel for the previous comic, but fitting everything into a single page just wasn’t gonna work. For another, I had considered putting some extra doodles of the characters’ faces in, just so I’d have something to connect the speech bubbles to.. but then I decided the dialog was distinct enough that any reader who’d been paying attention would be able to work out who was saying what just from reading it… And now that I look at the finished draft,I actually wish I HAD gone ahead and thrown in the faces, just to fill in some of the extra space. Yeah, attempting to cram this visual into an already crowded comic wouldn’t have worked, but I think this page may err in the opposite direction and give the door a little TOO much room to breathe.
…or maybe I’m just cranky from being awake too long while working on FRIDAY’S page, which I shall queue up as soon as I finish posting his one. Cos, man, if you think I’ve got some artist ramblings to make about THIS page…
