Air Raid Robertson

As you can plainly see, there's a bit of a shift in the artwork on this page. Air Raid Robertson and Ridley are still colored with markers, but everything else is rendered with colored pencils. I thought that this would be an effective way to demonstrate that Robertson and Ridley are in a place where they don't belong.


If it isn't obvious to you already, I'd like to point out that the events in this page refect Peace. Written by Aristophanes in the midst of Athens' war against Sparta, Peace was an earnest yet satirical plea for the war to end. As the dialogue on this page implies, the plot surrounded Trygaeus flying to Mt. Olympus in order to demand the gods to step in and end Greece's turmoil.
