I wonder what sort of adventure these kids will wind up in this time.

Sorry to sound picky, but apart from Jonny looking like he’s goosing Doc in the first frame, the red book looks sort of smaller and different to when Jonny grabs it.
Other than that, I can’t wait to find out what happens next…!

I think it may be an optical illusion with the book. If you compare the size of the book to Jonny’s head in frame one, then do the same in frame two you will see its pretty much the same size. Its just the angle of it that gives a slight illusion of changing size, because the angle of the perspective in the second panel seems just a little different, to my eyes at least. If it IS a flaw, oh well Herge made flaws too especially in the first versions of his comics before they were revised.

@Tigertail777 I see what you mean in terms of the book-to-head proportion. However, the book in the last two panels is the same area as the book-case divider it is next to. The book in the first isn’t. (I feel bad I brought it up now, but it just leapt out at me when I saw it…).

@Simon Doyle hmm… yes I see what you mean now. Still, it isn’t a glaring flaw. It’s all good man, nothing wrong with civilly discussing art. Personally I am in the camp that art should have a few flaws here and there, it feels more cozily human if you know what I mean? For instance I far and away prefer the original Herge strips before he redrew them for the books, it has a rough more energized edge to it that makes me feel closer to the creator of the work when I read it.

I just discovered your comic today and I´ve to say I really like the art. Reminds me of some of classic franco-belgian artists, specifically the ones representing the ligne-clair style like Hergé (Adventures of Tintin) or E.P. Jacobs (Blake and Mortimer).
Nice work
