Screenshot of my Clip Studio workspace with thumbnails for a 7-page comic on the far left, plus two roughed pages with blank text boxes on the right. The depict a figure tying their shoes, leaving their house, boarding a bus, transferring said busses, riding a bus, and then standing at a trailhead. What's it about you ask? Probably hiking, duh.

Something about the @nwmoca.bsky.social's ribbon cutting today and seeing my own comics on display kicked me in the butt to pull out a forgotten 7-page comic script and see if I can actually do it. #comic
