Consider this a bonus update, I guess? Issue 24 still has a few pages to go, at which point I'll just stick this behind the issue.

I did this as a commission last night, so the inking is a bit different (better) than the slightly old stuff you're seeing in issue 24. Back on Issue 26 (I'm halfway through 27 right now) I switched to using the Pentel brushpen which is…amazing. As close as you can get to a real brush, AND portable. Lot of pro cartoonists swear by the thing, and for good reason. I really think it added a more professional edge to my inking, and on top of that it's made inking a hell of a lot more FUN. Recommended to anybody still inking digitally or with technical pen. Bit of a learning curve, but totally worth it.

This'll be colored up and available as a print/poster a bit down the line. If none of you want it I'll put it on MY wall! Ok, probably not. But it'll be cool.

EDIT: also! Acrobat is #30 in Comic Book/Story #39 Overall on the duck. …Do you think anybody could do me a favor and spread the word? I'd really like to be in the top 10 at least once before the comic is over.
