Finally got this sucker up! This weekend was a bit rougher than expect so I didn't have time to draw the comic until tonight.
Timelapse:
MOUSE OVER
Head on desk means winning!
PANEL 1
Bodie returns and tags Ally. Kane looks miserable.
BODIE
Posters are being printed. Tag!
ALLY
Oh, thank god. Time to spread the word.
PANEL 2
To Ally.
BODIE
What’s up with him?
ALLY
Don’t ask. I just spent an hour trying to convince him that his girlfriend doesn’t hate him.
PANEL 3
Bodie tries to reassure Kane.
BODIE
Well, nothing like a bunch of work to distract you from your problems.
KANE
GAHHHHHH!!!!!
PANEL 4
Ally laughs while Kane slams his head on the table. Bodie raises an eyebrow.
