2010127 (4) – Re-lettered, with some minor artwork collections. There had been a minor dialogue tweak, but I dropped it after revising the previous page.
20100130 (1c) – A quick check reveals the last panel as a possible concern re: Carlow signage. A closer examination reveals that it’s technically illegible – my brain knows what it actually looks like so it’s filling the missing bits in, or something.

Another horrible case of patience – this is one of the earliest scenes to be written, drafted around the same time I was producing Whitehouse’s lunch with Heinrich.
=====================
2008.04.19 – This page cropped quite nicely. Like it was designed for it, or something.

We’ll be getting to the “what” throughout the rest of the book.
Also. Upstage Nation? Good, LOUD music. The crowd is about what you’d expect for a Sunday (read: the usual southside otherwise-rednecks plus a few oldskool Upstage regulars), but the music is mostly pretty sweet. Points off for playing KMFDM twice… though the deduction stems from a guest DJ playing post-Symbols KMFDM, so it’s forgiveable.
For a Select Few, panel four is both a jab and a joke. For everyone else, it’s just plain old Plot. Gotta love those double entendres.

One of the reasons for using tweaked photos for backgrounds in DCR – This. Is. Pittsburgh. Specifically, Oakland, between the Upstage and Craft Avenue. Whitehouse is stomping into the Allegheny County Health Department parking lot.
Fun fact: I did this shoot back in 2006 at the correct time of day and year (summer, ~0530), back when I thought banging out DCR would be a breeze.

Stompy-stompy.
Visual continuity glitch: that’s the current Carlow logo (the “Umbrella Corp.” version), not the one they were using in the 90s. Like anyone outside of Pittsburgh would notice, right? :)
