I would frame a print like that and put it on the wall in my office. Tom, sell that.

Man I know these aren't as much effort as the actual comic and that Tom is probably having a lot more fun letting himself free to use different art styles for these but it really doesn't feel like he's actually taking a vacation.

Well we still have two more chances at seeing what Jonesy can do! (it will just be a perfect circle)

I guess we'll also get a Parley/Smitty collaborative City Face.

I like that this break shows off not just how the various charaters draw and write, but also what they consider a comic to be. Annie and Kat did little four-panel stories, Renard did a political cartoon, Mort a series of riddle jokes, Gamma and Blue going for something more artistic. The variety is nice.

Nah, that comic would just be us seeing the cast's faces of awe, horror, bliss, and consternation as they look at what Jones made.

If Jones tried to draw a pigeon she'd just end up with something so photorealistic it would look like an actual photograph.

Well, you're in luck, as it just so happens that tomorrows comic was leaked, and it is indeed Jones' turn to draw.

Here's to the new us.
It may not be the popular opinion but I personally feel the questions regarding Laundry List's involvement in the mysterious disappearance of piscine superstar Air Tunnel were never fully resolved. Frankly, Laundry got what was coming to him. :colbert:

You know I'd always heard rumors that Laundry List had a pretty serious problem stemming from PCP abuse, but I'd always just dismissed it as the standard tabloid garbage. I guess you never really know.

In fact, if you're in England, I'm 90% sure you have or at least have seen them. I don't think there's an elderly person's home without that exact dining set.

Edit: Mine doesn't have ink, though. Toast, yes. Ink? No.

Funny, that was my first thought as well.

What you can't see is behind the camera there are feathers everywhere, the shocking aftermath of a battle royale pigeon showdown for who gets to be a part of Gunnerkrigg Court.

At least no pigeons were harmed making the comic? Not sure if that's a plus or a minus really. Actually the idea of Tom waiting outside with this setup and maybe some bread crumbs just waiting for the little flying rats to land and walk through the ink and the paper is highly amusing. The fact that didn't happen is sorta a letdown.
