Tonight on THIS IS ME: Blood and violence!

Okay. Scratch the blood. And the violence is mostly implied.

Drawing Notes

This may have been the longest time I've spent on a single strip and I'm not even sure it shows.

Drawing the wife coming home was an adventure. You might notice that the light source changes between panels one and two because she closes the door behind her. I also spent an inordinate amount of time on the living room furniture. Placing the splattered paint was comparatively easy.

I wouldn't complain so much, but when I sketched this strip in July, it seemed an easy one to do.
