Ok, the finished comic. The pages are all different dimensions and that's fine. This version is better drawn than the original and easier to read. Tried to keep the different layers here, the Shakespeare play, Joe's thoughts (poem), his general dissatisfaction with life and lack of drive to do anything about it. Not a happy story, sure. Not meant to be. It's not even bleak as that would take more ambition than Joe has. This and he are meant to reflect those of us that feel adrift in life, that our few moments of screaming are met with quiet apathy. For Joe, life is a shrug. There's beauty all around him, and he knows it, he just can't be bothered to look up and see. This is starting to sound too much like an artist's statement. Hate those. So, here's a comic. The main character's an otter because.
