Comic #868: Locked (Patreon)

This one is a bit of a spiritual successor to #813. I considered not doing it because in some ways it's kind of the same joke, but I really wanted to get the premise in there of locked chests that can't be picked because it's a personal pet peeve. Also the final animated panel tickled me when I pictured it in my head and I wanted to make it happen.

The animated panel is actually really simple. I only had to draw everything in the frame once. Keydar's head is a single image I'm just rotating. Similarly, the three arms of Gigz, Krom, and Narya are single images whose positions I'm adjusting in each frame. This is different from an animated panel like in #844 where each frame is effectively a completely different image that has to be rendered.
