Oops…a tad late this week…but hey look on the bright side, it just means you have less time to wait for the next page! (hopefully the next page will be done by Thursday)

My graphic design portfolio review was last week so that’s where all my time ran off to…

Anyways, as for commentary on the page itself, we finally got to the mysterious stranger’s name! 😀 Hey remember when I mentioned that “Joel and Janice were the first two characters I designed”? Well here he is. While Janice didn’t change extensively, Joel changed a lot as a character. His actual design may have hardly changed since the initial sketch, but his role in the story changed tremendously. Looking at my numerous scribbles and notes in my sketchbook, I’m pretty sure he’s the character that I tried to put the most thought into.

Sometimes when someone is being annoyingly melodramatic in a film/book/comic you just want to bonk ‘em on the head and tell them to “get over yourself.” See Joel for example…
