Oh, Gary. Gary Gary Gary.

Alternate titles for this strip were "Timing" and "Missed Opportunity." Eventually I just went with the original though.

So, thoughts on the color choices? I considered just putting it all in greyscale as usual for school stuff, or doing it all in color since it involved HER, but ultimately I decided to just show where his focus was the entire time. It's… okay, I guess.

So, I'm not sure what I'm doing for next week, but I might just do one comic. It'll be a full comic, at least, but just one which leads into the week of Christmas. Alternatively, I can try and stretch it out more. I don't know. I'll think of something and work on whatever tonight or tomorrow. All I know is, I need to get everything done early early early, because we're moving soon and I need to have a cache so I don't need to worry about anything but packing and travel over the next couple of weeks.

And Gary the Alchemist isn't really the kind of series that I can slack off on. Which means I need to stop slacking off on it.

I will say this though: The art is a bit closer to what I really want for the series, especially for Dan in Panel 4. Less awkward whatever-the-heck I'm doing, more comic strip style. Yeah!
