Setting up for the big climax of this story now. Evil Twitch has dominated the strips so much so far that it was nice just to devote a few panels to the personalities of our regular protagonists. I wanted the first panel to be as neutral as possible so the second panel could immediately splinter into their different characters… Christopher immediately being a know-it-all, George's face showing he's concerned about the situation but at the same time has heard this kind of thing from Christopher before, and Twitch taking the weight of the world on his tiny shoulders. My real challenge was selling the last panel because it's a much subtler joke than a spoken or a slapstick punchline, and the whole impact depended on making Twitch's expression change both startled enough and funny enough, in reaction to Christopher's speech.
