Far Out There

You know, I’d forgotten just how tricky drawing Dr. Vanderslice can be. That hair must be some kind of living, amorphic entity, because it moves around of its own free will every panel.

So, this page frustrates me, because we’re only seeing the top third of what I’d intended. See, we’re obviously going to have Layla badgering the Doc to show the others his secret kitty-brain machine, I doubt that’s much of a spoiler (if it WAS, well… sorry!) However, I really wanted to already be at that point NOW, rather than sometime next week. After all, they got to this freaking room three weeks ago, we should be at the next plot point already. Sadly, said Layla badgering will involve a lot of big speech bubbles, and I’m trying hard to keep text from swallowing up whole pages, like in the old days. Thus, I had to bump all this set up over to a page of its own. But really, I promise that forward momentum will be regained soon. REALLY.
