Notes: Looking back on these comics I wonder why I avoided using solid black (which I so enjoyed playing around with in Making the Grades). Look throughout the early comics in the series and you'll find LOTS of short, textured lines ... but very few patches of solid black.
You'll also note that my signature is ALWAYS bold and clear. As I said in the opening essay, I saw this as my big chance to get myself noticed professionally ... so I was leaving NOTHING to chance!
