29-1: Slim Pickin's

Whew. I got this up A DAY EARLY. I'd intended to get this week's stuff all finished a WEEK early (when I was off), but… I s'pose not. I'll get workin' though.

A few things didn't come off quite as I expected. For one, I wanted more names in Panel 3. But at least I got the important ones in. Plus an extra maniacal laughter by Milton.

Secondly, Gary looks too little in Panel 4. He looks a bit young.

Also, I apparently suck at drawing the coach. Nuts.

(I do like my decision to have him call them "sock sniffers." Much better than my original plan of having him call them bastards.)

This week is actually going unscripted. I have my idea in my head, but it is mostly not going to be written down. I wanna see how well I do with spontaneity.

If I suck, I'll write out next week's comic. Given the subject for next week, I might need to.
