page 44 – Whatever Happened To What’s His Name?
Original note – April 29, 2008
This page may have come out a little more ominous than intended. It’s not supposed to sound like Ichabod’s plotting anything evil or whatever, it’s just establishing that he had an earlier traveling companion… who apparently made a really creepy sound when his flesh evaporated. And no, I have no clue what brought that about. I’m sure whatever you can imagine is better than anything I could say.
Also, you’ll notice that Ichabod seems to have a bit of a Doctor Who complex: making a habit of inviting random souls along for rides. It’s a really convenient way to work extra characters into the plot, which is good because I plan on cramming this comic FULL of ’em 😀
(Historical Note: Well, THAT part definitely came true in ways I never could have imagined. Anyway, this is a page I definitely wouldn’t do today, at least not in this form. It’s not the morbid implications that bother me, but the fact that it seems to be setting up something I have no plans to follow through on. If this mysterious evaporating person is only meant as a one-off gag, it shouldn’t dominate the page as much as it does.)
