Rub it in why don’t you.
Excellent detail on the photo.

I love the ligne clair style with the little extras, like the fur texture on the professor’s coat and the excellent use of shading in the photo. It’s a wonderful contrast to the flat colours of “the present” (which I love as well!). Even the photograph is a picture in a picture, with the physical object itself having no shading, setting it in the now.
Sorry. I’m babbling. I just love seeing thought go in to wonderful execution.

I also ink the flashback sequences with a brush instead of a pen, but that doesn’t show up so much at this size. I’ve got to redo all these at a larger size at some point. But I need to redesign the site to do that. Maybe I’ll do that as a weekend project.

yeah there’s the comicpress template that knocks the sidebar down below the content area, so your strip can span the width of your site. Then just batch save your original files at a larger size, you could be done by lunch on Saturday!

I love this story! The whole sense of this being the latest in a long history of adventures is just wonderful. Come to think of it, there were similar but different references to earlier generations of adventurers in “The Middle Man,” and in “Highway 13″ too! The McClaineVerse is just an exciting place to live!

Yer KILLIN’ me, Les! How did I not see that! Now that you’ve said it, I can’t help NOT see it!
GORGEOUS!
Any word on books? I bet if you put up a preorder thing to pay for the print run, it’d be filled up in less’n a day!
Just sayin’… *grin*
