Thursdays are busy days, what with the podcast, grocery shopping and laundry to be done. I also managed to get some time on a new video game I've been interested in. This means I didn't leave a lot of time for the comic, which is bad. Still, I might have got further if I hadn't had to struggle with the perspective of trying to make the flyers look as if they'd been folder over a mailbox. They're not perfect but I think they'll do considering the time I took to play with them. I wish there was a straight line warping tool instead of one that so wants to make things curve. Still, got a background, setup, warped flyers and a third flyer drawn and placed. So that's not nothing.

I have only used the warping took a couple of times but for my stuff it worked well. I have never tried a sharp line bend like you have on the mailbox. I guess I would have done and you likely did, cut them in two at the fold point and use the perspective warp to take each section the rest of the way. I am writing this morning in vermont before going out to the barn.
Glad you made it to Vermont ok! We're getting slammed with snow right now. As for the perspective, I tried the method you mention but I couldn't get the edges to meet up without really throwing the whole thing off. So I just used the mesh as best I could. Have fun!
It looks good but some of us can be picky about our work. Maybe small of us. I might have got really frustrated, made a 3D model of the mailbox and mapped the posters to it and then cut them out and out them on the drawing that way. Which would have been overkill for sure.
