I had a lot of fun with this strip. It started as the usual 6-panel grid in my sketchbook; then I remembered that an online comic isn’t limited by paper size. On a separate page, I drew the kitchen timers and ticking sound effects. I also redrew one panel, which I almost never do, to make it more readable. (Stupid crowd scenes with music stands!) I had to touch up a lot of messy drawing, too. Then I put everything together in Photoshop. It involved way more computer-time than usual, but it was worth it.

Having seen the comic in drawing form without the timer running along side the panels, it definitely makes more sense in it’s final form. I think it was worth the extra computer-time.
