Another metal themed strip. This happens to me all the time. People assume that because the know Metallica or Anthrax, that they know metal. Kind of like people who have heard of John Coltrain think they know jazz or folks who know Eric Clapton think they know blues.

I tried a few things artwise, with mixed results. This may be the first time we see Billy's feet and I make him look like he's 10. I realized I should have given him sandals, not high tops. I also tried to do more background. The are supposed to be sitting on a front porch, on an adobe wall. (Did I mention the strip takes place in Arizona?) We have porch walls, not railing IF we have porches at all. I've also been playing with some coloring things…not sure I like it.

This strip was put together with an odd mix of music including All That Remains, Ishahn, Tom Jones and Etta James (I'm not all metal).

Final soapbox moment for today, watch Studio 60 on NBC. It is television at its best and is threatened to be cancelled. Stupid dancing shows and bad game shows are beating this in the ratings. If this show goes away, the networks will keep thinking we are stupid and program more demeaning reality shows. New shows like Studio 60, Heroes, Friday Night Lights and the Nine are what is good about TV. 'Dancing with the almost Stars' and 'Who can crash diet the best' are not.
