Well this page was intended to have just two panels, with a bit of dialogue. So, it seems I managed to finish panel one. I'm hesitating a lot about the amount of detail I want to put into it. For once, hands of the bikers fly but I wonder if it's actually worth doing the rest of the bike. The idea is that the reader should just read the balloons and essentially go quickly through the whole page. It looks maybe too schematic but I kind of like it... You can tell that this is my first panel with Inkscape. Will think and gather some input.

I came to the realization that I need to draw more accurate drafts by hand, because it's quite difficult to define shapes on-the-fly, I like the old man approach of 'inking' over an scan.

First panel that is actually close to final - I played with jitter effects for the balloons (added nodes 5px to a circle, jitter with 4/8 spacing), and the wheel is actually a simplified gear (200). Click on it for a zoom.

Oh, by popular request, girl-on-a-bike received a new hairdo and some more detail.

Fonts on balloons were changed too, but I kept the font for the narrator.
