Greeeeegoryyyyy!

Excuse the absence, but once again, there's been little to talk about.

We've got something to chat about now, though! One of my favorite pages has finally been posted, and I'm happy to see it. Just the humor and Gregory's expressions really struck me after I made this page. I hope it does the same for you fans out there.

This whole scene, introducing Gregory, is my favorite so far. Introducing Howard was enjoyable, too, but he's more difficult to explain in just a few panels and still have room for jokes. Grotch is equally fun to illustrate... But he doesn't have much plot or back story behind him just yet.

Gregory, on the other hand, is simple enough to understand in seconds, but rich enough to last the comic's lifespan, I think. He's a single-minded guy, visually based on a long-time friend of mine. Thanks to his contemporary clothes and shaggy hair, he's a breath of fresh air for my character designs, considering he's not an unholy monster or wearing some seriously weird costume. He plays a support role in the episode alongside Howard and Grotch, but he'll have more to do in future episodes if I have my way.

That's all for now. Keep reading and look forward to the final act of Episode Two! We're only fourteen pages away, folks!
