Is Simon actually EXCITED over this possibility!? Creepy guy, I swear…

I know I wanted to go all black-and-white-with-traces-of-gray, but I just had to keep coloring Simon's jacket. It's supposed to be incredibly obnoxious like that. And I think I'm honing in on the right shade of ugly for it.

Let's face it, he has no sense of style. And very squinty eyes.

Those who actually pay attention may have noticed I added a back seat for his car. I couldn't handle how small it was. Pretend it was always there.

I came across a page I intended to put in the last Scene. I might try and do something with it at some point, and I wish I did add it in, because it kinda explains why Simon's staking out her house instead of sleeping comfortably in a hotel. Unfortunately, I had to make room for the comic in which he actually enters Corbeau… and I added an unnecessary dialogue with her and her father…

Actually, the page I'd planned would have well made up for that, with a different implication of her parents' negligence.

But enough about that… let's talk about THIS comic! I like how little work I actually had to put into it. I just wish Melody's hair stood out better. And I wish I knew what to do with that sidewalk in the middle of blackness. >_>
