It's hard work being E.V.I.L.
ZenKai on Sept. 7, 2007
Conversational Notes:
I'm generally fascinated by thieves and super-villains. I follow news of crime sprees (never violent, those are just sick) of brilliant thieves, bank robbers, and cat burglars, and I'm always rooting for the thief. In fact, I'd like to BE a professional thief, but the whole jail thing puts me off. I'm far too delicate a flower to be a plaything for Bubba.
Comic Notes:
I intend on introducing a running piece called E.V.I.L.'s Crime Discussion hour for use in future comics, so I wanted to set the stage so nobody's confused when three masked villains abruptly show up to gab about graft. These will be used to talk about the most impressive thefts I come across, and, as Mike, Dan, and I like to speculate and plan jobs ourselves, should have some pretty amusing exchanges.
This particular one took a lot longer than I'd expected; I wanted to clearly convey the frustration of Mike & Dan, but, without facial expressions, I had to re-draw the scene each time so the poses would work. I'm starting to think that actual stylized comic-strip characters (I really don't want to try comic BOOK characters) would be faster. Any recommendations?
Rant Notes:
NOTE: This section has been temporarily disabled as a diabolical plot unfurls. It will be replaced with the earlier text once it has come to fruition, so as not to give my intentions away.

Whoa, I'm late! This update slipped under my radar. D'oh! I like the Cobra Ca-Dander guy. DUDE!! I'll bet conveying those emotions was a challenge. Good job, you pulled it off!

LOL! Wow. Though...it's really a matter of perspective whether or not V was a good guy of a bad guy.

I wish I had a suggestion for you, but I like the look of your comic as it is. It seems like you put a lot of detail into your figures, maybe just some stylization there? It's a tough call. I end up spending more time than necessary on my panels because even when nothing changes, I refuse to just do the C&P.
