Some days, I am amazed when an half a page of text can be boiled down to just two panels on a page. I thought this one was going to need to be four. I blocked it out a couple of times before realizing that, hey, their expressions and movement are not vital at all to the conversation. In fact, the only two vital things I absolutely need to show were camp being set up with everyone in the frame and Kets clinging to June. Everything else, the dialog said well enough.

Keep it simple.

With the first run of the comic script, we really didn’t know what the story would want to be when it grew up. There were a lot of jokes along the way that got scrapped and some parts that got cut because the story itself ended up wanting to be on a different thread entirely.

This is one of the boarderline jokes that’s staying in. Because Aeith on a leash is just too funny and just tame enough to keep.
