The Ghost Of Webcomics

This strip shows you how fast I can do a volte-face. Careful readers will notice that the retraction contains not one, but two new insults (actually, fifteen insults in all).

Self-flagellation is not something I actually do in real life. It's a metaphor.

In case you didn't recognize him: The "Ghost" is Skull the Troll from Scott Kurtz's highly successful webcomic / dead tree comic Player vs. Player.

Drawing Notes

Drawing the bathroom tiles was fun, but time-consuming. During the completion of this strip I started to figure out that I would have to stop drawing details in places which would later be covered by text later anyway. Of course, I made up for this by attempting more complex scenes. It's just not getting easier...
