New incentive, at last! Cartoony belly-dancin' chick.

I made a little mistake in drawin' this one. See if y'all can catch it.

RE: That first panel: Yeah, landscapes ain't my specialty so glad y'all think I pulled it off. Water especially ain't my specialty, especially not in pen and ink.
RE: The lake: It's kinda like here in New Orleans where we'd pick up beer and go to the levee on the Riverbend (no, it ain't one of them famous collapsible ones, thankfully). So it's half based on the Mississippi at a couple of them particularly grungy parts, and half on them East Coast rivers, like the Hudson and the Deleware and that one what runs through Baltimore…

@Drasnus: Yeah, you'd think.

@Kristen: Sometimes I get annoyed at how slowly the details of how the Hub works/is put together/etc. come out. But it's somethin' I chose to do deliberately- I figured it'd be more organic that way. But I'm always anticipatin' folks askin' questions about seemingly improbable or impossible points- such as, if the Hub is a completely enclosed city, with no connection to anything whatsoever… How the fuck do they get stuff like cars and phones and groceries? I mean, not all of it can possibly be produced in such a small place, right? And of course, the answer emerges eventually. And is completely absurd.

@darkwaterfrey: Well, maybe. Cal says he's wrong. But ya gots t' figure something's keepin' folks stuck there, right?

@patrickdevine: FUCK YEAH. "The beer that made Milwaukee famous!" with "Just a kiss of the hops!" The motto for "Schitz" beer, by the way (you can't read it at this size) is "Get Schitz-faced!"

@Peipei: Yeah, nobody gets cut no slack here. They're all a bunch of jerks. ;)

@repoman: It'll get explained eventual.

@Custard Trout: I think I've swam in many a "clothes dissolving" lake. For better or for worse. Whiskey may have been involved on most counts.
