Far Out There

Well THIS didn’t take long to color! Yeah, I kind of had to make today’s page really simple because, thanks to my poor planning, Friday’s page looks to be kind of elaborate. You know, the page that has to be done days in advance because I’ll be at Intervention all weekend? That one? Yeah, oops!

Fast as the coloring might have been, getting this drawn wasn’t very easy. See that last panel? That’s the return of my most hated artistic nemesis: PERSPECTIVE. I had to completely trash the original version of that panel and start over from scratch this afternoon before all the angles weren’t terrible (I do kind of like the end result, though)

Speaking of that last panel, hmmm… I wonder why that pattern of sweater looks familiar?

Also, speaking of fast coloring, check out the latest voting incentive for something interesting.

And one last observation: MAN, we talked a LOT about that last page, didn’t we? I mean, DANG!

(Historical Notes: The punchline here takes on a whole different tone when you know how I eventually left the place I was living when I wrote it.  Also, I wish Past Me was less coy in the original comments, because I can’t remember if Layla’s Dad wearing the same sweater as modern day her was something I did on purpose, or an accident that I just decided to roll with.  I hope it’s the former; it’s a nice touch if it’s not the product of sheer lazy obliviousness.)
