Another page, on schedule, even with years coming and going. It's amazing. Who would have known. I'm not particularly proud of the shading in this one, as I didn't spend enough time doing it, so don't look at it :).

For the technically inclined: Every panel was drawn by hand, scanned, had the saturation reduced to 0 and then levels applied to make a smooth white background. Then I put all the panels into a 'multiply' layer. I tend to draw individual panels on my sketch book, and do the composition with Inkscape. It's really fun to see how many options one has to tell the same story. I usually have a few versions of each page, changing layout, balloons, panel sizes. I don't think I could do comics in the classic style, i.e. drawing a whole page and scanning it.

Update: Fixed grammar typo, added a couple dialogue lines.
