The Dregs #58 and MGI News

This episode's dialogue actually did not come from working at the bar. This is purely my pet peeve and how I feel a lot of other cultures feel about Americans. I don't know about any of you, but I hate bad grammar. So, who better than these ignorant, smart-ass characters to deliver my judgement? Bolek, being able to give my view of foreign opinion, made this one easy to write, other than the Polish translation. Thanks again for that, Delilah!

On a technical note, I drew this one on a larger bristol board (11"x14") and had to scale it down after scanning individual panels. I hope everything looks right to you all (especially the legibility of the dialogue). I do have to say, it was a hell of a lot easier to draw the details vs on the 9"x11" boards.

On to the news - I'm sorry that I haven't been able to keep up with The Dregs with the weekly schedule I hoped to publish, but for good reason. I am in the early stages of working on illustrating a children's book as well as working on a personal poster project (enjoy the alliteration), so my time has been more limited than usual. But, rest assured that I'll keep punching them out even if you stop reading them.

Cheers!

The Dregs #57

A couple I know invited me over to watch the Bears game and one of the other guests just got back from running a half marathon that morning. I have never been a fan of running. I don't think I'd do it if someone was trying to chase me. But. we all talked about this woman's athletic feat and how great it is to be fit, I couldn't help but write down retorts to everything she was saying. These were the best two.

Cheers.
