Happy Birthday Steve
Jul. 4th, 2023 06:57 pmI made my Happy Birthday Steve comic! It's on tumblr here: https://potofsoup.tumblr.com/post/721920184293654528/happy-10th-year-of-me-doing-this-dorky-comic.
But hey, you're here, so it's my chance to show some process pics:
The section from pg 3 to pg 6 underwent a lot of edits when I was inking, in part to tighten up pacing, and in part because I'd done the layout before the affirmative action decision came out, and I felt like I needed to address it in some way.
pg 3:

I move the "slowly grinding our way to disaster or progress" line earlier, to set the core question earlier. On the other hand, I didn't want to talk about meetings just yet, because I felt like that was jumping the gun -- the reader would need to be more primed to take it seriously. This meant that I was able to move up the railroad strike to all fit on this page.
( 3 more under the cut )
Anyway, hope you found that interesting. I love sharing process stuff, lol.
