Drawn 5/30/2007 through 6/4/2007
This is what I like to call the "hard to read police officer scene". Yes, the text is really tiny. So, here is what is being said, bigger, so you can read:
Strip 2 Panel 3: I think I passed out when I got hit with the bookcase... and then when I woke up I was here on this couch and my three friends were camping out here in the common room, waiting for me to wake up again.
Strip 3 Panel 1: One final review before I go. The suspect was feline in species, and you know this because of his slash pupils. He was about a head taller than you, Mr. Prince, making him approximately sex feet and seven inches tall. You estimated his weight by basing it on your friend Lowell's body build, but time and a half bigger. That would make him close to three hundred and twenty pounds.
...
And you didn't see any stripes or spots because he was almost completely covered in clothing, except for his paws. There was no tail noticeable at any time during the encounter.
Strip 3 Panel 3: CDs, DVD's, Jewelry... small things of considerable value that are easily resold anywhere. Probably had a backpack or something.
The entire scene with the police officer really is very poorly done. I wanted to put a LOT of information into some REALLY tiny speech balloons, and it just wasn't working. This is probably the "weakest" set of strips, in terms of the entire comic as a whole. This was a very basic, easily avoided mistake. But, as I've said, I was more about quantity than quality back then, and I wanted to move on with the story. Comics traditionally move rapidly, its no secret, but this was just an explosion of information that really drags down not only the story, but the strip itself as a piece of art. I'm rather ashamed of it, really.
On the upside this seems to the time period in which I have taken up a straight edge and a permenant marker to add to my toolkit for comic macking. Notice that not only are the edges of the panels done with permenant marker, but the speech bubbles and the solid black objects (like the officer's uniform) as well! The next step in my comic's evolution was happening, right there!
