Off Hours Chapter 2 Page 38
dueeast on April 13, 2010
I think this page speaks for itself, pretty much. I had an interesting time with it, both from a scripting and art standpoint. I loved drawing C.K.'s surprised expression when Stephanie knocked her out with basically one finger. That has to be one of the most melodramatic ways to be turned down that I've ever seen/drawn! I wanted to add a little levity to an otherwise unpleasant moment. XD
Plus, Thad had to tell Stephanie where his heart is…and it's not with her. It was something drawing the near-unstoppable dynamo that is Stephanie Parish being brought low by a “Dear Jane” speech (in front of everyone, no less)! What did you think?
So, this week, script and linework by me, Allen from Due East. Colors by JustNoPoint from The Devon Legacy.

04-30-10 UPDATE: Artdude2002 is most of the way done with the next page (Chapter 2, Page 39), and I have the next 7 pages after that. So, once I get Artdude's page, Off Hours will resume with twice-a-week updates to catch up! :)

Ghostrunner's back from the hospital and up to no good, so I'm sure we'll hear from him shortly. More updates! :)

A whole lot of emotion in this page. Stephanie just got her heart broken, and Thaddeus professed his love for another. And in all this drama, you still managed to make me smile in the sixth panel. Bravo!

Thanks, Pam! I'm sorry to hear that about Ghostrunner. Fortunately, he's in the best place to be treated. I'll definitely keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Seems like it's been a tough week! I had my own medical issues and almost wound up in the ER, too (low potassium - 2.5), so I relate. I'm slowly getting better, got an Rx for some potassium, so I hope GR does the same (and a speedy recovery, as you said)! /rambling

Ghostrunner is in the hospital with a serious infection for a couple of days. Everyone send him best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Well, I'll say something... Thanks for keeping Thad true to who he is when he's NOT on the show. Plus, you kept CK pretty true to his own nuances as well. I feel bad that Stephanie is staying behind - But it's reminiscent of The Thing from the first 'Secret War'. Great work quarterbacking all of this, Allen.

(I'm not really into relationship/drama stuff. Just along for the ride. Nice art, though.)

Of course, I appreciate the 5's but I'm curious why noone has anything to say-? Hmmm...
