Prologue, Mortie's Kwik Stop: The Visitor
Helspoint on Aug. 15, 2006
(feel free to skip this part until you get to the subjection “story”) Well, new comic today… Despite the fact that I hardly have the one for Friday drawn and I'm going to be busy all of Friday, I've decided to be stupid and submit today. Ah well, we all have our mental failings. It means some people get to see more of my… “interesting” artwork and horrible handwriting. But hey! I'm taking art classes now… The artwork should eventually improve. But enough ragging on myself, really.
Story information. We finished the prelude, in which we met two characters of great importance. And now we're in a slightly-longer prologue, which holds the inciting incident for quite a bit of the story. So.. we have Mortie. He's the old dude. And some other guy, the “gangbanger” (NOT in the sexual sense), who has poorly-drawn hooves. Thanks for reading, and please just stick with me here… The story should make up for the artwork. ^^; (This is all in flashback, by the way. Hints of deep plot next few comics, if you care.)

I like the crosshatching. It's messy, but in a good way. It really works. I also like the layout of the panels, and the use of novel-like dialogue in quotation marks instead of speech balloons is interesting, and still easy to understand.
