I've been thinking about this comic for a long time. Over a decade. I've run a lot of the scenes in my mind over and over. But once I actually get them drawn and uploaded, I pretty much stop thinking about them at all. It's a little like an exorcism.
Thing is, Templar takes up so much of my cerebral real estate that I'm not quite sure what to put in its place once pieces of it are gone. So I wind up sort of spacing out instead.
Weird.
On a mildly less stupid note, I have to say that the response you guys have had to the tip jar has been OVERWHELMING. Thank you, thank you, thank you. One day in, and it's already halfway to a three-page week. I'm amazed and humbled and very grateful.
Hooray! Ben's dirty panty collection is safe!
He's in the kitchen, right? Now, I know Ben's a little guy... but how big is his kitchen? Look at all that counter space! I am in lust! You could fit half my apartment into his kitchen.
A beautiful and stunning aspect of this comic (and perhaps it exists because of your work with Sparkneedle) is that you're unafraid to have speechless panels. This was prevalent in your intro pages, the "scenes of Templar" if you will, but here, too. We don't need Ben to have a constant monologue about why he's freaking out to fill the page. Just images, wide-shots and, well, everything you do so well, to show us.
