Today's is another strip originally scripted as four panels that ended up falling on a Sunday. Unlike the last time this happened I decided not to fill this one out with extra added material - just not to constrain myself to weekday panel size. In the battle to experiment with Sunday strips there are no rules.
In other recording of the creative process: How obvious is it that some of
the colors I use vary? When I've assigned to a character's clothes or hair a
color that isn't part of the default MSPaint pallette, I don't always
remember the next time what its mix numbers were. I know I do it with the
color Gawaine and Lot and Gawaine's brothers wear. And I've just realized
that Uriens' hair has been subject to the same inconsistency. Well, I've been
expanding the white streaks in Uriens' hair anyway so they hopefully don't
look so much like, as one loyal reader has suggested, some passing bird's
target practice - maybe Uriens will just go all white by the time we see him
next. I've already thought of an in-story explanation for it.
