Less cleanup than I'd like, really- that damned hand in panel one is a nightmare. The only thing that'll save it is a total redraw, which is more time than it's worth at this point. Not out of the question but ultimately one of those "finishing touches" I'll deal with if I ever have a free afternoon and can't think of anything better to do.

Like the rest of this eponymous sub-section, the Signal 10-12 scenelet (which was Signal 11-13) has been completely rewritten. Night and day, really - Grij is more to the point, though not as "artsy" in his presentation as he was in the previous version of the page. This is more straightforward and a hell of a lot easier to maintain going forward.

===================================================

Nice to do just a single page for a change- with the exception of the Chapter cover, I haven't done Just One since the end of Chapter Three. Zero has been two page spreads up until now- and it will be again soon.

Horrible day on the physical end of things- I went out last night, was out for far longer than I should have been, woke up at seven (false alarm), woke up at eight and decided to stay up, got to work in plenty of time, walked in the door - at which point my bowels freaked the hell out - took a COSMIC shit, turned the place on (filling in for the person who usually does this), and then immediatly settled down into a boggy round of alternatively blasting my ass out and reading The System Of The World through a haze of flu-like-symptoms hangover blah. Good times.

And that horribly shitty illustration of Greymalkin is off the front page, so it's a win on all counts. Even though the reflection thing is an obvious cheap trick- at least in this case it's not inducing any continuity errors. :P
