1-9 – Zampoña
Thursday, February 1st, 2007– Commentary –
J.D.: I love the band. You kind of drew one member from each different musical genre. And we called them “Eclectic.”
Craig: I think my favorite is the guy playing the flying V with the hat. He reminds me of a cool blues… guy. I love the pattern you used on the shirt of the guy with the ‘fro.
J.D.: I used patterns on the shirts of all the guys surrounding Kate. But she’s not even looking at them. She’s looking at the guy to the far left.
Craig: And he seems to have noticed her as well. 🙂
J.D.: For those of you keeping score, Lucky is in this page too.
Craig: And I see that Leon has acquired a pair of wire cutters despite Jonah’s refusal to help.
J.D.: He probably “borrowed” them from Jonah like he “borrows” the internet connection later.
Craig: I think it’s interesting how this page really draws a line between Leon’s passions and everyone else’s. Even in her pain, Tara chooses to be at least somewhat social. But Leon is happiest when alone.
J.D.: With Shiela.
Craig: Heh. I love the lighting effect you used on Leon’s flashlight. How did you do that?
J.D.: It’s funny how you can make something look bright by oversaturating it with white. I actually don’t remember all the details of how I did that one, but it had a lot to do with airbrushing and translucency. The trick actually came when I had to shade Leon in light of the beam of the flashlight. It helps make the lighting effect work.

Oh, I hadn’t noticed Lucky. I guess you’d have to know, ofcourse ;). Anyway, Jonah is looking worried. Maybe he noticed his wire cutter was gone before he left? Or is he just be disappointed Leon isn’t there ;).

Heh I didn’t notice Lucky before you mentioned it either..
I love how you made the “surrounding boys'” eyes fixed to ‘interesting’ things. Or at least it looks like it.
Jonah indeed looks sad/worried. And the flashlight on last panel looks awesome.
