Week 80! (Patreon)

This panel comes from comic 007, Personal Space, from the first arc once again. It was suggested by... no one, cause I only had three suggestions! So I picked this one.

So I specifically picked this panel because it demonstrates something that hasn't come up TOO often, or at least hasn't been directly referred to that often, Kale's obsessive-compulsive disorder. Now, technically, comic 005 - Fingershake is supposed to be the actual first clue to Kale's issues, with Kale just choosing to daintily shake Ashley's fingertip instead of actually shaking her hand, but this panel is far more 'iconic' in terms of the early pages. It's not as clear in this panel but it's still demonstrating that issue of Kale's with being touched or touching others that he had more often early on. It's also just kind of generally one of the cuter things that Bruce did, and the original version is pretty terrible-looking, like all the art from those early days really. Actually looks like they're making a little  more contact here in the redraw.
