Elliwiny: Sin really carried me on this spread, I’ll tell you what. So this transition page is the first of it’s kind, in that it’s an emotional transition instead of a literal passing-in-real-life style of transition. Sin came up with[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Elliwiny: Wow, I should give Atticus more hats. He’s adorable! Sincerely: It was a wig the whole time! Also he colored his beard. Nobody appreciates Atticus but he’s really the MVP of this whole comic. Too bad we never got[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
