For some reason, I had quite a bit of trouble organizing the layout of this cartoon, and I’m still not satisfied with the placement of certain elements. My workday was punctuated with bouts of furious sketching and erasing over and over again, which left me perilously close to deadline without a single line being inked. Needless to say, I got the cartoon done, but the ink was flying near the end! I’ll have to check my tie and sleeves for errant spatters tonight.
