Stowe - This week was a unique case. First off my partner in comic crime has been sick and we were unable to really confab about a strip much at all. It ended up that I didn't receive a final script until last night. Normally one evening is long enough for me to draw up an entire strip no problem but there was another complication last night. The C.L.A.W. Open Swim was last night and I spent a good 3 hours hanging out with befezzed madmen painting a muppet rockstar instead of working on the strip. After I got home (still having not actually seen the finished script) I had maybe an hour of worktime left before I had to trudge off to bed (since my day job starts at a brisk 6:30am). With that in mind I quickly decided to draw the simplest pair I could think of... two googly eyed monsters standing in a dark cave. Actually... the simplest pairing would be two polar bears in a snow storm but I've already done that in the first chapter of SCATS (#10 - SCATS was drawn in under an hour this week). So... there you go, the reason behind the nearly all black scats this week. Also a quick note about the script. It is based on an actual conversation between Kevin and I... in reference to a girlfriend he had at the time. In my defense I quite honestly thought the slang term Butterface meant something COMPLETELY different than what it turned out to mean. I was under the erroneous assumption that it meant the girl had kind of a round buttery looking face. So, now you know two truths about me... when pressed for time I cheat and I frequently use slang I do not understand.
