I’m pretty sure “It’s complicated” has been my most used cop out so far. Whenever a character says that, it’s basically been code for, “Hey, this is important, but I’m gonna draw it out to a later time to resolve,” or occasionally it means, “Hey, I’m not done writing, so I’m not even sure what the answer is yet” xD

Bonus points to anyone who figured out where Nic previously showed up in the comic. I plan to more directly address him in the next chapter, so no worries if his brief, obscure appearance before this evaded you.

Tried implementing some more diagonal or non-rectangular panels on this page. It’s pretty tricky properly balancing the page once you start introducing different angles and shapes. On the other hand, the unique diagonals can create some impressive contrast and guide the reader’s eye if used appropriately. Even though there have been several different non-rectangle panels in this chapter, I’ve still kept my distance from one type of panel variation. The curved panel, or basically anything without straight borders. Why? Well I don’t hate them. Heck, I’ve seen them used exceptionally well in stuff like Habibi by Thompson with it’s elaborate shapes and curves that provide a unique dynamic. However, partially due to my more angular style, I’ve stayed away from it so far. Who knows though. Come an impressive fight scene or something else, I might try to work it in someway…
