original_post:_3/13/2006____________________________ the art nerd wanted to use some pencil terminology in this strip, just to show I did understand the industry, and the many tools involved. There’s also a flood of critique from your peers, and it’s good to take it when you want it, but not from everyone. Max’s line at the end is a Terminator 2 reference, and the posters in the background are Strangers in Paradise, which I had just started at that point, and the cover of the first Flight anthology, which I love dearly.
