I was running a bit behind today but thought that, if I knuckled down, I’d be posting a new strip by mid-afternoon. Then I remembered that I don’t have access to a scanner until the week after next. Bugger. You fail to plan, you plan to fail, as they say. Anyway, in lieu of an actual finished comic strip, here’s how it’s going so far, from initial scribbles to lettering. People who aren’t cartoonists think sometimes that we just kind of draw the whole thing in one go and it’s all easy and happens quickly. Maybe some of us do. I have a process. It takes a while and a lot of things can go wrong if one’s not careful. I’ll post it here the week after next after I’ve managed to digitise it. In the meantime, that groaning sound is the vault door turning on its rusty hinges….
