It's funny because he is. :D

I realized AFTER I'd halved the size that I needed the characters to be a bit bigger. I also recalled that I'd already fixed a few things AFTER saving as a bitmap, so I really didn't feel like spending some extra time fixing it. Maybe later.

The bricks were done lazily by drawing one big patch and splitting it into two. You probably can't tell because I'm clever like that.

So… yeah… these two characters are a bit rough. Again, I know jack about cops, so they're a pain to draw AND write for. I mean, I can write children because I remember being one, and I can write parents because I've seen enough of them to know how neglectful ones might act, and I know Death because… well, that's kinduva blank slate, you can do whatever you want with him…

But police? Agh… I mean, I've never actually come across many of them (lately), I've never been arrested, and despite my interests I never actually went into training to become one. I'm pretty much left with only what I'd seen in movies and TV. Which kinda sucks because I really only watch comedy TV and action films that involve cops. And these guys fit into NONE of those.

(For a comedy series, these two don't seem very funny to me. Not as funny as I thought they'd be. They're mostly just cardboard cutouts waiting for the major characters to come in. Ugh…)

Anyway, we'll have a more interesting character by the end of the week. Don't worry.

(By the way, anybody who gets the mini-title at the top of this page gets a cookie. Not a REAL cookie, of course, but an imaginary cookie. You pretty much just get the satisfaction of knowing obscure mysticism.)
