Alright! What I've been waiting for, we're on to the second story. This one is a bit longer (8 pages), and with any luck, I'll be done with the third one before this one finishes it's run– well, with plenty of luck, maybe!

Anyhow, this new story takes a leap forward, in my opinion, with the art… I actually drew a good 44 pages of Mastorism between the previous story and this one– so that might give you an idea on the production time-line.

As for this page, you'll I added some intro copy this go around. Kind of an experiment… let me know what you think. I'm kind of on the fence about whether it was a good idea or a bad one.

OH! And APE was a blast. Met a lot of cool folks, including some drunk duckers, and touched base with some con-friends, including some drunk duckers… so over all it was a fun deal. Brought home lots of goodies. Yep! I'll be putting more about in my blog (http://www.inkoutsidethebottle.blogspot.com) this week. Didn't have much time for pictures though. I did do some posting on it over the last week, mostly tips on stuff to bring to cons (convenient!). So check that out if you're curious. Hey, its new, I gotta plug it.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this new story, and I'll see you next week with what is sure to be an exciting page!

Thanks for reading and commenting.

here's some comment replies from last week…

Repoman - Thanks! Yeah, I guess I don't do too many inset panels. I felt this page needed some extra oomph, so I brought it in the tonage. Its actually what led me to use the toning on the lettering you see earlier in the story.

peipei - Thanks!
