#3 - Introducing Melbourne

Torino on Feb. 5, 2011

Sydney's referencing the ‘Popular Cities’ list that I linked in the last strip.

This strip turned out more like two strips in one, didn't it? I'm not confined to a 4-5 panel layout though! I just wanted to do things like this. Since Mel gets a second intro strip this Friday, he's getting quite a lot of frames to himself already. I'm sure his fans are happy about that, though - he does seem to be the most popular character with my friends. (So I'm interested to see what other readers think of him)

One last thing, that weird thing in the background of the first two frames at the bottom is a famous sculpture in Melbourne. It's called the Cow up a Tree and you can see what it looks like here: http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM6M4P_Cow_Up_A_Tree_Docklands_Melbourne_Vic_Australia
