Week 76! (Patreon)

With the latest series done, and really my idea well for Weekly Update series starting to run dry, I figured I could start doing something different, which is redrawing somewhat "iconic" or interesting panels from comics long ago. To sort of compare how far I guess we've come since those early days where I was working with a Graphire 3 tablet that was super-tiny and I had no idea how to use it well and the slippery surface compared to real paper made me fuck up a lot.

I figure I might be able to also give a little information to also tack on about the specific comic page or panel or something, too, if I can think of any. This panel is from the fourth comic, 004 - Horror Show, which had Kale and Bruce meeting face-first for the first time in the New Canon. I think this page, and this panel in particular, really permanently defined the change that Bruce had gone through personality-wise between his introduction in the Old Canon and this introduction in the New Canon. At the beginning of the OC, Bruce was a much... well, I wouldn't say "cooler" person, but he was more saavy and helpful. Blunt, physical, and weird, sure, but he was still more about helping out Kale and explaining things to him. As the OC went on, though, jokes involving him became more and more outlandish and silly, until we reach this point in his reintroduction in the NC and he's forever solidified as the incredibly bizarre and off-putting weirdo he is today.
