Today, I don’t have any original art to share. So I thought it’d be fun to share an alternative version of today’s comic.
It’s not unusual for me to go through several different gags (and sometimes images) before I settle on what I like best. This one was vary close to what I wanted.
Heck, maybe this one should’ve been the one I went with. It’s always hard to say.
