A Cow Conundrum: I Stole a Cow.
Steely Gaze on Aug. 2, 2009
I'm thinking Jared didn't expect to see that when the door was opened!
Yikes, a little late with this one, but my schedule is kinda funny lately. So, I can't continue to promise regular updates, though there will certainly be one a week. I just want to try as hard as possible to make quality, not quantity, so I may tweak (or have CK tweak) each page until I'm at least kind of satisfied.
I hope you can all bear with that annoyance.
Now, I don't think I answered any comments last week! Bad me! I'll answer ‘em here.

@Nigbun: I have no idea. Jared just seems to be the first number on Henry’s speed-dial whenever he does something crazy.
@Antcomics: “Best Overall Story”? Goodness no! Not this little comic, I hope. As for cows, I love ‘em too. There’s something kind of soothing about a content cow. :)
@Trevor: Thanks for reading!
@Amanda: Yeah, that was something I was worried would be lost due to the fact that this is primarily a humor comic. There is a genuine plight to small-farmers in the States, and coming from a state that's been devoted to farming for more years than I can count, it hurts to watch these hard-working farmers get shafted in favor of the big guys in the industry.
@Patrick: Well…in that case you might be surprised by Henry's actions, though he does try to explain himself later. He's an odd sort of person. ;)
@Lulululuqtqt: Can't rightly say that's the best way to herd cattle. ;P
@Flup: That's funny that you like the slightly transparent thought bubble, because I was against using it at the start. I guess when CK gets an idea in her head I ought to listen more often….
@CK: *cracks whip* Work little artist minion! WORK! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! You know, you never told me that being evil was this much fun! :)

Henry now has a trusty steed =]

Replies! @Nigbun: Well, I'm afraid his reaction isn't quite up to par. Nothing spectacular I fear. But, in his defense, this is just another in the long line of insane things Henry has done. :P @Lulululuqtqt: Sheep fear little it seems. I've seen an aggressive sheep or two in my time! As for our cow in the comic, Betsy, well I wanted CK to do her in a mix of cute and realistic, and I think she managed to straddle that line very nicely. :) @Antcomics: Yeah, Jared's really patient most times. You kinda either learn to be or go mad if you insist on being one of Henry's friends. ;) @CK: Ah, so long as you do your best I don't mind. Besides, all it would take is something shiny to send you into another artistic tailspin. ;) @Amanda: Yup, he stole it. When Henry gets an idea into his head he often does it without a second thought. Heck, sometimes without a first thought!

Haha, I didn't realize he'd actually stolen it! I thought he'd ask Jared first XD

Y'know, at first I was kinda disappointed with myself because of the lack of actual backgrounds in the 2nd and 3rd panels...but overall I ended up pleased with this one. (And I've just about finished drawing/inking your next. All that needs to be done are those darn accursed backgrounds.) I shoulda had a buffer made up, but at least I'm trying to give you my best with these current pages. (I was very disappointed with some of my previous pages in the last arc. Especially the "Phaser" one since I feel I could have and SHOULD have done it better.) =_=' Hopefully I can get back on track--I can feel my focus coming back already! ...This is where something comes along to trip me up...

I can't wait to see what madness ensues... I have said this so many times but Jared must be the most patient guy on earth to put up with Henry's crazy antics. =p

You'd be surprised. I can only say, they were more scared of us than the sheep were. Oh, and that's a very pretty cow.

I'm sure we can wait a little extra to get such awesome pages :) Haha, I can't wait to see Jared's reaction!
