Comic #888: Spymaster (Patreon)
Content
This idea started out as me just wanting to make a joke about mistells. I'm not sure exactly how the idea of stealing information using mistells came to me, but I liked the idea of using Mathias Shaw.
The punchline requires a lot more reading than I usually like, but I'm not sure there was any way around that. I prefer it when the punchline can be understood as quickly as possible, gives more punch to the humor.
I decided to slightly differentiate the colors between the incoming and outgoing whispers, to make it a little easier to read.
I was also originally going to add another joke in the final chat box. I was going to have Anduin say something to Mathias in party chat just before the other text. Something along the lines of "Thanks for listening, it's been rough" or something to that effect. I decided there was already enough going on in that final panel, I didn't need to further complicate the punchline.
