I chickened out on posting the first strip. I posted it here and on flickr but not anywhere else people could read it. My finger hovered over the buttons, but I didn't do it. Maybe I'll just slip it into the book, if there ever is one. The second one is something I felt before, I think with Fite, towards the end? I don't remember. But if any kind of cartooning becomes easy, is that a sign? Guilt because it's easy, or maybe it's more a suspicion that nothing good can come from something easy. Dunno. But the new Harlon IS slicker, looks refined. Is that a good thing? Does it lessen the sincerity or impact? Hell if I know, current self or younger self.
