Another one bites the dust
Random reader: Say, what’s that crap behind Leslie and Isaac…?
Me: Why, they call it “backgrounds”.
Random reader: Back… grounds…? I’ve heard of such things. I didn’t think they actually existed. It’s… it’s beautiful.
There really has been a lack of backgrounds in this comic, so I thought I give it a try with really simple ones here. However, it’s hard for me. I’m not used to it. I’ll probably use them modestly, but I try to use them a little more from here on out.
Oh, and I’d like to say hello to all the new readers from PCWennies. Hi guys. 
If you like the strip, you can always try and stumble it, or digg it, or whatever it. Just share it. I really want to now if my little button here below works or not.
And here’s todays sketch. Booyah!

Heh, backgrounds are nice, but I do like the bloom around the last two pannels as well. Honestly, the backgrounds don’t need to be too complex, except for certain occasions. Look at garfield for example. I used to love that comic, and all Jim does is put a dark color with a lighter color in a part circle in the background. It is nice to see more than that though. One last note. Do Leslie and Isaac have four fingers or five? :p

Thanks, Equipollent. And I guess you’re right, complex background might even be distracting. But I like this.
About the fingers… heh, well… I’m not sure x) I know I usually draw 4 fingers, but I also know I’ve drawn 5 on occasion. Like in that picture I recently posted in the blog, of Leslie, for example. I guess I should settle on something, and not go back and forth.

Hilarious strip today. Your art keeps getting better and better – love the neat outdoor lighting effect around the panels. Very slick!
