Kapitan Bzik has himself a new recruit, whether or not that recruit knows what’s happening. That home-brewed nalewka can be potent stuff. Looks like the company won’t be down a man, anyway. Er–down a person.
I really like how the second panel came out. I think I got Szpadel's gesture to communicate exactly what I wanted, and the lighting looks pretty good, too :)
Tried something a bit different with the background too.

Śliwowica is a type of a plum vodka. Or rather plum brandy. Different process of manufacturing.
Nalewka is basically this:
You take a lot of fruit from one type say cherries or apples or pears (My favourite kinds, but there are many more). You make sure of course the fruit is de-seeded (super important). Then you stuff the fruit into the bottle and pour alcohol over it (raw spirit if you want it really strong, vodka works if you want it milder. The fruit composition, amount of alcohol, type of alcohol and whether the sugar is added or not is very recipe depended. After a while you need to drain the fruit from the alcohol (fruits are to be thrown away, although I heard of them being used in cooking) and let the nalewka age. Typically it takes a year or two to get the nalewka to be tasty. Some blends are said to have medical applications for curing strep throat.
From a chemical standpoint it's nothing more than slow alcohol-based extraction from fruit. But the fact the fruit is alcohol stops the fermentation and avoids the fruit taste to go bad.
