Fever Dreams 085

An April Fools' Day joke about to go very wrong ...



**This comic was particularly difficult as I've been experimenting with papers. This is a 110-lb Bristol card stock, and it soaks up the ink from my regular pen (a Pilot V7 Rolling Ball) to make wide and smudgy lines. I switched to a Staedtler .01 Pigment Liner, but the tip is not holding up to moderate use and the ink isn't flowing particularly well. Skunk was colored in with a Faber-Castell PITT artist pen, which produces some really nice broad lines, but again, has the ink soaked out of it by the porous paper.**
