The Soldier and the Tsar, page 2

and you, reading this hovertext? You, comrade, are also very handsome.

Man, on time this week, how about it.

I don’t know if it shows horribly in these drawings, but I’m not really feeling like I am handling the watercolors well with this story so far. Kind of feel like I’m flying blind with regard to color choices. This isn’t really a story that needs a lot of color, and that’s probably part of the problem. Anyway, now that I’ve told you what errors to look for, you’re probably not going to be able to not see them now, huh?

Oh well! Nothing to do but get better at it, I guess.

(Also I know it’s a poor craftsman who blames his tools, but Arches hot press? Ain’t buyin’ it again. The Strathmore stuff from a few weeks ago was a lot kinder to me.)

this isn't what you think it is. the tsar's always partying in the prison block. he has a thing.

If you missed the blog posts earlier in the week because you’ve been here long enough to know better than to expect anything interesting from this comic on any given weekday, let me please call your attention to the social network poll, and also remind you that prints are now available in the store. Wheels have been spinning!

This is such an important reminder, even, that I’m gonna bump the stinger to the bottom of this post. How’s that feel, internet?

so very disappoint in you all

I generally like to think that stirring in internet memes as a substitution for actual comedy in a webcomic is kind of cheap but I mean even Shakespeare dropped a fart joke every now and again, so.

If you thought better of me before this point I am sorry. Showing up three days late and delivering something like this after making you wait is not really something a body can make excuses for, so I’ll spare you mine. I, too, am disappoint.

In better news, it’s a source of continuing gratification for me to see the places that this comic gets reposted to and linked from. The big viral surge set off by the Firefox comic last month is finally settling down, and I’m looking forward to finishing this story to see if I can pull something like that off again.
