Man, for some reason the comic nights are getting longer and longer.

AWFW: Originally, Hanna’s turn around blast WAS just that. A blast. She was making good on her “Next time I see you” threat. About the time I drew he doing the blast though, she changed her mind, deciding that it was best for her to accidentally kill the Shadow, because it was her kinsman. Panel 1 took me forever to get right, and eventually boiled down to drawing from a source pic. Panel 2…I hope those involved forgive me for panel 2. Panel 3 was actually a reused pose from the 200th episode poster I did. The post I drew looked great on paper, till I actually scanned it, and realized how bad it was. So I took the Hanna “sprite” from the 200th print, and modified it to fit. Panel 6 is the Livingtree KT Cann schoolhouse in Second Life. If you stop by, say hi to the kids.

CS: For featuring drag queens (and having one as a main character!), I know next to NOTHING about the drag culture. Everything I know is based on one very annoying person I met in the 90s. I also just don’t “get” the drag culture. But I do what I can to present them in a human light, and hopefully I’m not being too offensive with them. That said, the girls names are Fallopia Tubules (The orange haired one), Tiff-Tiff (The brunette) and Yeoman Janice Mann (With the Big Beehive). I’m really proud of Panel 6 because (in the wide screen original art) it really looks like Fallopia and Yeoman Mann are really tugging/shoving her. Panel 2a, 2b and 2c are just me acknowledging my manga roots.

I have to say Fallopia Tubules is one of the most creative names I've ever heard :)

I also do not "get" the drag culture. Really.

Can't take credit for all of that one. I got the idea of "Fallopia" frmo Saul of the Mole Men. I just added Tubules to it. :D

I love the look on Andrea's face in the 5th panel of AWFW...

There really isn't much to "get" about drag. It's just a bunch of guys who enjoy dressing up to do flamboyant cabaret. They tend to stay "in-character" when off-stage too. Why? Well why not? :-) Most of them are just regular guys outside of the drag gear.

The one drag queen I knew was an asshole, but a friend to a friend, so I had to put up with him. :) My problem is probably transferrence. ;)
