Done with a nib pen, India ink and sloppy watercolour.

    I really appreciate the onomatopoeia of “crash” finishing his sentence. It’s a really clever use of panel flow, and let’s it really sell the motion.

    Enough other compliments have been made about how funny it is so I’m gonna nerd on your technical skills instead.

    I do wish their was some more texture to the meat stick throne, but that’s just cause I find the visual idea to be funny.

      Thank you. I appreciate that you took the effort to give specific compliments and critique.

      I agree about the meat stick throne. I wish I had taken a little more time with the watercolour application, maybe so that the red of the meat sticks would be the focus of the last panel, and not be competing with blues and pinks.

      I also hesitated to show the trucker on a meat throne, because I wanted him to be less of a king and more of an equal participant in the revelry, but I couldn’t think of another pose for him. Plus… meat stick throne!!

      Just for fun, I’m attempting to attach another photo I took of the comic, in sunlight, with brighter colours.
