Prologue - Page 2: The Shadow from Above

This whole bit with George using British dialect ("oh pooh"
, "what a bother")... I'm not too familiar with the EXACT way people spoke back in 1906, but I knew it was more proper and people had much more respect for others and their elders than today, so I subsituted the only proper dialect I'm anywhere near familiar with. You'll see more of this "British" dialect later on in the prologue.
By the way, the game simply states that all this happened in the "beginning of the 1900's", not a specific year. I only chose 1906 because it IS stated that George returned two years later - in this case, that would be 1908 - and EarthBound Zero states that when the game, which IS officially stated to take place in 1988, begins, it is 80 years after George and Maria's time. So in case you were wondering, there is indeed a method to my madness.

You're just not a MOTHER fan if you're not hearing the Hippie theme music here.

Much as I wanted to leave the backgrounds of panels 2 and 3 plain white, I caved and colored them in. As you can see.
And it's probably easy enough to guess, but the Hippie's prayer was originally "Ekke, ekke, ekke, ekke, p'tang, zoo-boing, zow zing". I'm not sure if I felt that Monty Python references are hardly even funny anymore now that everyone gets them, or if I felt too much like I was swiping the phrase in slimeball fashion, but either way, eventually I just invented my own chant for him.

Ninten wasn't centered properly in the panel where he's sneaking past the crowd of snoozing foes, but I only noticed this after I had inked him in, so I "letterboxed" the panel. I guess it works better that way artistically, too...

It may not be how you get enemies to "snap out of it" in the game, but I suppose it's believable. They've had a chance to sleep on it!

It's the return of the Crazy George font!
It's the return of Carpal Tunnel because I was foolish enough to invent an original lowercase for the font!

I had written in Tuesday for that date simply as a placeholder, until I could look it up in an old calendar online... but lo and behold, April 14th surprisingly *did* fall on a Tuesday in 1908! So apparently I'm developing psychic powers myself.
