This is the first time I’ve hand-lettered one of my webcomics. Hopefully, it’s legible. I may switch to lettering in all caps for the next comic for improved readability.
The fourth panel of the comic was originally going to be captioned, “Should I really be associating with these people,” followed by caricatures of Minneapolis members of the International Cartoonist Conspiracy. “Should I really be associating with these people?” is a question that comes up frequently when I’m meeting up with a new group, be it cartoonists, religious people, or fellow coworkers. But the panel would have been too in-jokey. Although the “heartbreak and embarrassment” line is a little melodramatic, I like it.
Overall, the comic is far from perfect, but it’s good enough for the week.
There’s no such as perfection, but there’s something wonderful about capturing something so well – reality, with a little touch of hope for us
Ooh nice! I know that feeling in those first six panels while the last three captures the process (and pacing) so well.
