The truth is that there's rarely a comic that I don't second guess myself after sharing it. But I felt this one in particular could be more fun if I leaned into the similarities with enjoying fine wine.

Hopefully I won't have a third version tomorrow!

Perhaps you mean to use the word accentuate instead of concentrate?

Cardboard Crack

Thanks for the suggestion. I think concentrate is fine because the wine glass focuses the aroma toward the person drinking the wine.

😂😂😂 I laughed so hard because of the description of the aroma, I almost chocked on my coffee

Actually, maybe I will change it to accentuate. Ugh, I can be so indecisive when it comes to writing!

I do song parodies, and I often second guess myself after the project is complete. I'd say that in about half my works, I wish I could rewrite at least one line. My main way to combat it is time. It might be revised a dozen times in the first four days, but I don't lock it in until a week goes by without any changes. Even then when it's in the final form, I sometimes have second thoughts on something.

Third version: You're the expert, but wouldn't it be funnier to have the third smell be something actually from the set? Like "hint of raw Balduvian Hordes", or Thawing Glaciers, Lake of the Dead? :3

Yeah, that's interesting to hear. Comics are a somewhat disposable art form, where you expect people to read them quickly and get on with their lives. So there's something to be said for writing the best comic you can in the moment and not second guessing yourself too much. But it can still be hard to do this in practice!

Ha, I like this. One problem I do find when I write, and rewrite and rewrite, a comic is that I can go deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole until people who didn't see the early versions don't even understand the reference anymore.

"Raw Balduvian Hordes" doesn't sound especially appetizing. Maybe something along the lines of "floral notes of fruits of Shiv and the leaves of Llanawar" or something like that.
