I have to say that your artwork on this series continues to improve, and it started at a high point.
I think what is impressing me most is what might be called the cinematics of it, how you switch from closeups to long framing shots, etc.
The story also continues magnificently.
Thank you so much, Odo. As much as I try to make each panel work well on its own, I feel the real “magic”– the thing that brings a story to life and holds our interest– is just what you are referring to here, the sequencing of the panels, where they work together to build up a story and a “world” for the characters to live within. That’s always been the heart of this craft to me. More than nice drawings, it’s all about vivid, compelling storytelling in that unique combination of word and picture that only comic books deliver. So– it as particularly nice to read your comments. Hope you’ll keep finding the story rewarding as we press on!

Damn dogs, always getting into the sandwiches…..
Just a heads up, panel two says “get aware from those,” not “get away from those.”
Ach! Dang typos. Thanks so much for the heads-up. Fixed!
