An update - sooner than average! It would've been even sooner if it weren't for the overwhelming weariness I've been experiencing all last week. I was yawning away all day, every day. Woke up yawning and yawned till I put my weary head back on the pillow. I'd even doze off on the bus! And whenever I reached out to do something intellectually demanding, I'd cringe, freeze halfway and recline again, with a dull face :\ Same reason why I haven't caught up with my favorite comics yet! Sorry! :(

Aaanyway… What have we got here today? A splash page. Or should I say a *splat* page ;) It was originally supposed to be just a panel in the previous page - but at some point I realized I crammed waaaay too much text into a single panel. Tha totally ruined the pacing, giving too brief and too fast a description of what happened. So, I decided to make it a separate page, instead. Works way better that way. More space = better pacing = more drama. Plus, the picture required way too much work to just shrink it beyond recognition. Ok, so it's not perfect - but it doesn't stink, either. Pun intended ;)

And I waited over 11 years for a good opportunity to use the bone font! Love how dramatic it looks! But– what now? What happened to the poor little fool? Could this be– the– ? You'll have to wait and see! :) Not very long, hopefully - I got two weeks off, so I'll spend SOME of that time drawing.

Meanwhile, Merry Xmas everyone! :)
