Editing this thing was so frustrating. I scrunched up the first half of the page when I was erasing, then ripped the corner when I was trying to flatten it out again. Yes, the rip is still visible in p#6. I thought it looked like he cracked the wall, which was pretty funny. I had to edit it out in the doorway, because you can't crack the empty space between walls.

 

The second half of the comic just wasn't working at all. The dialogue didn't flow, the characters looked completely off, the pacing and contrast between panels was a mess. I ended up revising it as I was retracing. It still looks a little odd, but it's better than it was.

 

p#7 was supposed to be p#7 & p#8. There was no reason to separate the panels so I just stuck them together.

 

The dinosaur joke made a lot more sense in the original run which I'm not going to show to anyone ever. This was actually where Kakaru was meant to be stuck in the archives by himself. He PMed Velox (interrupting his RPG) and Velox punched a hole through the ceiling to create a diversion. He meant to aim for the hallway, but "COT's a mess." The problem with that whole setup meant that I wasted two extra pages on him coming to the rescue, only for both of them to end up stuck and needing someone else to come rescue them. I guess it was pretty amusing, it just didn't go anywhere.

 

I was editing the margins with ten minutes left until midnight (I was determined to get this up on time. I was working on it all evening.) when my computer just quit on me. locked up, no response. I lost all my work save the paper copies. I sat on the couch and cried a little, then gave up on humanity and went to bed.

I have to say I love the expression on his face when he says "Heh". XD

 

Yeah... Sometimes you just have to go to bed.
