Oh yeah! I deliver!

Barely! I said I'd finish page two today (page 1 is right here) and despite having to attend a stuffy informal lunch (the kind with multiple knives and forks on the table) I managed to do just that. Don't hold your breath for page three though...

I'm not quite as pleased with this page, or maybe it just wasn't as much fun. The next page will be even worse because it comes before a page I really want to draw, so I'll have to take care not to rush through it. There are some things I like though, like the marks on the Robot's monitor (which weren't there in his previous incarnations).

I figure at some point I should decide where this story's going.

The fish in the first panel looks to be in a drug induced state!

Everything looks to be coming along just fine. Keep up the good work!

I can't wait until you get used to the process and really start pushing the drawings. Maybe you should take a chance on the next page in order to make it a bit more exciting for you?

As always, I really admire that you're able to get things finished (and everything looks finished) within your personal time frame.

Thanks John, I'm about 3/4 through the pencils on the third page, so I guess it wasn't so bad. I expect I'll have it done by tomorrow night.

Hey Shobo! Sean here.. tis a great comic ye got goin there. I really like the robot and how you make him convey emotion in the first few panels. Cool how the words come off the page too. I eagerly await the next pages! Its like a weekly serial.
cheers

Oh boy! John's right, the whole series seems drug induced. The inking is fabulous, but I think that the panels can be pushed some more. Fred always made me look at Little Nemo in Slumberland. They might help you do some cool things with the panels. Can't wait to see more!

You know Erica that's actually a pretty good idea, thanks for the suggestion!

I remember this story from comics class! Great to see you continuing on with it. Nice inks.

Nice inks, indeed, Michelle. I especially like the transition of time in the bottom tier. Good to see you cranking out quality work. It makes me feel like I should kick myself back into gear.
