I may be overstating the "most beautiful" part slightly, but not by much. My wife's laughter sounds the way champagne looks.
When I shared my office with a certain collegue, he always shouted jokes whenever my wife called on the phone – just to hear her laughter bubble out of the receiver. That might seem a bit creepy, but I immediately understood his motivation.
In this strip, I tried out a new drawing method. It looks extremely nice in my sketchbook, but it turns out that it (a) takes a long time to carry out in four panels and (b) the results fell far short of my expectations.
So I aborted the revolution and erased and reworked what I had. There are still shades of the different style in these panels, but I think I've ironed most of it out.
If a reader (and by I mean that I'd honestly settle for a single reader e-mail) were to write to ask for a scan from the sketchbook, I'd probably act coyly for a brief moment and then happily provide you with the goods. But considering how rare reader mail hits my inbox, your chances to see the sketches look rather dim.
Note: The requested reader e-mail arrived and the sketches were posted in the site news section.
Please, dear reader, let me know whether you like THIS IS ME. Criticism is also appreciated. It's feedback keeps me going. Feel free to e-mail me at <me AT thisisme-comic DOT com> (please replace AT and DOT with the corresponding characters, sorry about that hurdle).
