20090817 (38) – The last page of this chapter, at least for pre-formatting. Rather than dink around with tactical cropping strikes and figuring out Exactly Which Panel I’d roof-raise, I raised ’em all. A lot. Then I made a fresh layout, exactly like the original only 6:9 instead of 3:4, and dropped everything in. The result is a moderate amount of roof-raising for each panel, with a slight bit of cropping in panel one.

Like Tantek really needed that forearm.

20091008 (28) – Lettered. Tails run a bit close to certain background details – may redo before uploading (whenever that happens). Made a second pass on the ninth. More like seven or eight passes, actually – it’s not optimal, but it’s acceptable. I’m fine with that, for now.
