Water warrior ~sketchbook edition~ (Patreon)

When a comic is set in one unremarkable location like this one, I try to go really overboard with the facial expressions. I don’t know how much people really care about it, but it helps keep me from getting bored while I’m drawing.

I based future Jake’s look on 80s action heroes; primarily Mad Max.

Part of me wanted to make both future characters bald, like the comic where somebody meditates so well they inspire a cult, but it’s a fine line between referencing a past joke and just reusing a joke. It was also really important that the future characters were immediately identifiable as future counterparts, and not entirely different characters.

I did include eyes and a mouth on the blinds tho, which is a running joke that i think is just for me.

Also, I know camels don’t store water in their humps. Nowhere in the comic does it say camels store water in their humps. I will get a dozen comments when this gets posted wide “correcting” me to say camels do not in fact store water in their humps.

It has also been brought to my attention that ballsacks probably COULD expand out a lot, to store lots more water? So if anyone corrects me on that… fair.
