Chapter 1 - Page 21

In which Jennifer angrily points her finger at Leonard for a third time.


NOTES

The layout of this page was a total accident. Once I had all the art drawn and scanned into the computer, I realized the layout I drew up — on an ordinary 8 1/2 x 11″ sheet of typing paper — was too wide for the “standard comic book page” dimensions I was working with. This was a problem I’d sort of dealt with before, but not to this degree. So I was forced to get creative to cram all the art in here. To do so, I finally broke free of the very strict grid layout I’d been adhering to up ’til this point; charged by this act of freedom, I soon found myself going back to earlier pages and playing around with a panel here and a panel there. But really, it’s what comes after this page that benefits most from this “revelation” of sorts.

The only thing that really still bugs me about this page is the big chunk of white space at the bottom. Mind you, it doesn’t bug me enough that I’ll do something about it …

The really scary thing about this page is that there were EVEN MORE PANELS on the original layout, including Tiff sketching romance novel beefcake dudes on her class notes and quizzically looking at her phone once Jenn hangs up.
