When I drew this one I fussed with the background too much, putting in all this crosshatching and textured greys and all that mess. In a sudden fit of disgust and lucidity I blotted it all out with black ink. Nice, tasteful, simple black ink. Dr. Ph. Martin's Hi-Carb Black Ink to be specific.
There, that's my tale of drama, conflict and resolution for today.

I simply (and quite frankly) love this one.
Thanks for being so damn good, Richard.
It's hilarious! Can't wait for the treasury and the next collection.
Cool, that's my favorite ink!
Oh, I forgot to mention it was a certain Mr. Bernier who got me using the ink, it's a lot of fun to use with bamboo skewers.

And it worked! Looks awesome.
I've done the same thing a hundred times, but by the time I decide to fill it up with solid blacks, it's always too late and I've ruined it.
That's wonderful -- I love it. "I can't sleep with all this tension." That's perfect. Your strip is amazing. I have to get your collections. Thank you for battling all those deadlines to give people like me the pleasure of that one moment of recognition.
heheh this was one of my favorites :) the solid ink looked great!
