Happy Friday, all.
As I’ve mentioned in the past, I write all these posts on Sunday night the weekend before. Based on the sheer volume of work I have ahead of me this week, the fact that school is starting up again, the fact that I’m a week and a half behind on my comic-drawing chores, and the fact that we’re in the middle of repainting our basement, I’m forecasting that my future self is very, VERY happy that Friday is finally here. (Or, “there.” Or whatever.)
Today’s strip was actually a real trick. I rewrote it and rewrote it and the ending just did NOT feel right. So, it was with some trepidation that I sat down to actually lay out the artwork. I don’t know what it is about seeing the characters reading my lines, but somehow it always jars something into place.
In the end, I’m happy with this piece, and moreover, I’m happy with Chapter 3 as a whole, now that it’s all but finished. (The final strip runs on Wednesday, but Andrea took on the art chores for that one.) As it was coming together, something about it didn’t quite feel right, but looking back now, I’m pretty chuffed about it. (The fact that we started drawing some pretty decent numbers during this arc probably has something to do with it. I’m so fucking vain.)
Anyway, have a good weekend, all.
Luke
