Hello, Internets! It is Nicki, your reclusive artist.

I'm not sure what it is that I'm supposed to say in this thing, so we'll talk about this week's comic. I had already started drawing it months ago, but--as we found last week--I completely misplaced it. This week I found it, but in the meantime I'd decided on a better way of going about things. Jenn was standing in the original, so it didn't make sense that she would need Ryan to hand books to her. So I moved her to the floor, and doing so I needed to redo the panels of them conversing because Ryan's eyeline dropped down several feet. The only panel I retained from the original is the fourth, the profile shot of Jenn. Her hair is hard to draw, with all those segments I decided looked so neat.

Oh, and I know I promised inking, but it turns out my really fine pen is dried up, and I can't trust myself not to obliterate facial features with anything thicker. Sorry, loves, you'll have to deal with my scribbly pencils for a bit longer.

In other news: I spent an obscene amount of money on a Blue Beetle action figure this week, and I continue to be nauseated by the goings-on in this OMAC Project they've got going on. Way to piss on continuity, DC! You made me love you and hate you all in the same two months.

And on that cheerful note, I'm out. See y'all next week. :)
