The Daily Grind




Nothing exciting ever happens here. Sure, Ruffini's spirit medium skills were fun... for maybe a month. But who wants to know you're just part of a game? Who wants your mortality and lack of autonomy spelled out for you by a little white dog? It's sobering, it's humbling. It's depressing. And I know I'm doomed to stand here every day selling the same old stuff to the same four kids because that's my lot in life and I know it and I hate it. I just can't wait to go home and sleep and dream of a world where I'm the master of my destiny. Ha, not even that. Nighttime is just a convenient illusion for the "player."

But in Drago's shadow Titany feels quite small, so the art reflects this. I didn't give Drago the same treatment as Titany on the previous page because I wanted him to retain a degree of purity. Notice that the sun is breaking through the clouds in the background.

The clouds are dissipating now, and I actually call attention to it in the text. This is Bushie's apology.

And we're approaching resolution at this point. I'm kind of a fanboy of Morton so even though Bushie is having a brilliant time, I am invariably drawn to him. Anyways, I think this page accomplishes what it was supposed to. The others are getting curious of Bushie fraternizing with the Big Bad Drago.

Anyways folks, thanks for taking a looksee at this book. It was a spontaneous idea that I had to get down on paper before it left me. So I had a lot of it ready before I began any work. I love a lot of media like this so it reflects on a number of sources. In the end, it's not quite so dark at all. I know the subject matter is meant for kids, but I hope you've enjoyed our little romp.

I've framed each page in this way to compliment the art style. It's not completely flat, yet I wanted something very simple and minimal. I didn't want to detract from the picture or text with the frame.
