Description

From an artistic perspective: I'm very proud of this one. I'm still amazed sometimes by the amount of detail I was able to put into this. How editing it for a final product didn't drive me completely to my wits end I cannot say. Then again, maybe it did. It's hard to judge the level of one's sanity when you're already insane. It just throws everything out the window.

From a story-telling perspective: Ah yes...this is the strip that inspired an entire rumor-mill. Almost everyone I've talked to who has read through this stuff before has been curious about the mysteeerious (wiggle your fingers while you say it.) cloaked figure in the last two panels.

Insider trivia: At the time I had posted this, I had very little idea what I would use this dude for. One thing I'd noticed in many webcomics I've read is that it is common for authors/artists to leave little tidbits like this at the end of a story arc, that may not get used for a long time out. I figured at the time, "Well not 100% sure what I'll do with this guy right now, but by the time I'm ready to, I'm sure I'll have come up with something. Then when I do reveal who he is and what he's up to, everyone will think I'm SO clever for working it in early!" Or...something like that. :p

The good news is that I recently did come up with something to use this guy for...it's a different tack than I was originally thinking about, but it should be lots of fun nevertheless. But I'll let you guys be the final judge of that when it happens. So far that's the next big plot thing I'll probably be working on once I get back in my comic-making groove.

Thanks again!
