The trouble with deadlines
This second strip pokes yet more fun at the first, concerning my self-enforced deadline predicament. I don't know how clear it was, but I actually did use a crayon to color that strip (well... digitally, in Painter). I originally intended it to be a lot more sloppy and goofy looking, like Calvin's self-portraits. But at some point I forgot the plan, and for the most part actually colored between the lines.
In summary, crayons are for kids. Yes, I know... I'm sure there are artists out there who can create beautifully detailed and sophisticated works with them. But I am not counted among them. And so, I shall continue to ridicule the fat-tipped wax sticks and all the dullards who dare use them... yes, toddlers, that means you.
