Conversational Notes:
Mike and I actually have conversations like this. He's never actually hit me with an arrow (I tend to dodge a lot), but I wouldn't put it past him.

Further, I've decided to make a few different notations per comic: conversational, comic, and rant. I have a lot to say, best to keep it organized. This way y'all can simply ignore the portions of dissertation that don't interest you.

Comic Notes:
I've received a few PQ's about how I make the comic. This is done 100% with my trusty Wacom tablet and a blank page in Photoshop. I do each frame at about 400% zoom level and maybe three times bigger than the final product. The only tools I use are the brush (hard edge) and eraser.

I'm glad you noticed that my strips are of different sizes. I have NO intention of doing this professionally (maybe another strip someday), so they'll never be put into print and I therefore don't care about staying within the lines.

Rant Notes:
Drawing a slab of meat in negative space is a major pain. Drawing one with maggots is (in addition to gross- you should see my research shots) far worse, as maggots are functionally white lines.

Any feedback? PLEASE comment, even if you hate itt! It's the only way I'll get better, and find out what's working or not.
