Is that a challenge? Why, I do believe it is…

I'm not fully happy with the last pannel, but I'm really in a place not to care. I'm very happy with the fact that Panels 1-3 could be copied and pasted, with minimal work, though. I'm feeling a bit twitchy. I hope it goes away. Maybe once the whole… thing… goes away…

Anyway, the rest of this Scene promises to be fun. I'm tempted to do two in a day, just so I can zoom through this one. Then again, I wanna do some other stuff. Like take a nap. Naps are fun.

So, I think I might be changing Ace's amulet. Yeah. That star is too damn hard to draw, and once he becomes a major character, that's gonna get annoying.

Luckily, it holds more of a practical significance than a religious one. It's not like he's Jewish or anything.

Gah, I just realized I never fit in the main punchline for the redhead joke. Maybe I'll do another alternate comic at some date.

ACE: "Oh, a redhead. Damn…"
(They all stare at him.)
ACE: "My mother was a redhead."

I know where it belongs too, now that I think of it.
