Haaa.

Ugh, this was torture for me. I had a HORRIBLE day, and this just… didn't go over well. I should have had it done YESTERDAY, but I got it finished at Zero Hour. Apologies for poor artwork and details, I'm in a "Don't Give A Crap" area.

You can see part of how I do my script in Panel 4, with Ace's 'partial quotes' there. This is one of the few times I outright lifted the dialogue from my script. Just don't care enough.

In my scripts, I write like this:

ACE: "To be fair, 'Day One' would require that you were there at the time of the crime."

Now, if I was transferring that by memory, I would have just re-typed "Day One" as indicated (and as I remembered to alter in Panel 2). But, in a period where I'm doing all the final details at the very last minute, I don't give enough of a crap to worry about it all.

I'll fix it later.

(Also: Ace snagging the ribbon was a last-minute decision, too. Or, well, not last-minute. LAST WEEK, maybe, hah. I wonder if he's a klepto…)
