Welcome new readers, all three or four of you. Hope you enjoy ID and keep coming back for more!

My goodness, having a separate background was a bad idea. It took me hours to get this comic done, as in “even more hours than it usually does”. I’m exhausted. But, the end result is alright, so I guess it was worth it?

The background is nevertheless boring and uninspired. I mean, it’s just a gradient wash. Even so, because it was done separatedly, it looks quite smooth compared to the way I’ve been doing backgrounds.

I’m not sure that’s a good thing. The messier watercolor backgrounds have a certain charm of their own. Anyways, this is simply too time consuming to do, so I’ll be returning to normal backgrounds now.

Daughter’s expressions in the last two panels are awful. I think I’ll try modifying the characters’ designs, when appropiate, into a more cartoonish look. Hopefully one day my expressions will be half as good as these.

Also, I’ll put these “author’s commentaries” after the break from now on, because otherwise the experience of reading a comic you’ve never seen and being confronted right away with the author’s self-deprecating bitching might be just a tad too jarring.
