Okay, so I constantly see comments about my comic Max Overacts stating that I DESPERATELY want to be like Bill Watterson. No. This is not true. THIS is me wanting to be like Bill Watterson. But then, that was the challenge. Present Iceman and Beast, Calvin and Hobbes style. I'm still not super confident with the brush and ink, but there it is - ALL brush work. I think I'm starting to figure it out.

The harder part was emulating the handwriting, (and doing it so it wouldn't take forever). The text leans to the left, unless words were emphasized, then they were bold AND italic. The E, Y and G were the ones to nail. With those three nailed, the rest I could be a little looser with.

If wanting to be like Bill Watterson is wrong, I don't want to be right.

This made me happy in all the wrong places of my psyche. (That's good.)
