Smooth, Cap’n. Real smooth.

Dig those expressions in the last panel, why doncha. I usually try to avoid using that many manga-style expressions in my art, lest anyone should think I’m just incapable of developing my OWN style, but I just couldn’t help myself this time (the fact that I read through Wataru Yoshizumi’s Ultra Maniac just before writing this page was no doubt a factor as well) At least I restrained myself from giving everyone giant sweat drops, right?

(Historical Note: Wow, I forgot I ever even had a complex about that.  I’m glad I acceded to the level of not caring that somebody on some forum somewhere might think I’m not sufficiently creative.  Heck, I’ve even done the giant sweat drop on occasion, when I felt like it.  I’M MAH OWN MAN!)
