I wrote this one as sort of a "thank you" to the other two characters featured in this one: Patrick DeLaney and Matt Limbago. I wanted to do a comic with them involved as they were the two guys who really helped me out last semester while I was doing student teaching. It's pretty straightforward, and there's really nothing for me to say about it. I do like how it turned out considering how rushed the process was for this particular strip.
I did plan for two alternate takes in mind for this comic, but I ultimately went with the one that you see before you. It mostly had to do with what I had in mind for the third panel. The third panel was either going to consist of a real-life photo of myself (probably rendered in photoshop to look sketchy), or to use the yelling Kevin face from Blaine's Dissect My Brain comic. The final take was used as I thought either would be a "cop out" from doing my own art.
