TORCTOBER: I've Run Out of Clever Titles

New Quixote Coyote.  Click on the Image to see it all bigger-like.

The problem I had with this page was that given the rather, somber, nature of this page, was that I couldn't come up with an actual punchline for this page.  Eventually I just gave up and decided to punctuate the strip with Quixote's Facial Expression.  I don't know if it works or not.  Sometimes old Peanuts strips would end this way, less with a gag and more with a melancholy moment.  I'm still experimenting and learning.  Comic Strips are a different animal than Comic Books.  It's like swimming with Whales for years, then trying to swim with Dolphins.  Same family, different rhythm. 

Regardless, that's a really well drawn Mailbox.  Seriously.  I drew the heck outa that Mailbox.

The January Try-Out Comics Poll is still going until Friday.  Current Standings:

3 Points: FAIRY TALE
1 Point: BIZARRE
1 Point: SCI-FI
1 Point: HORROR
1 Point: FANTASY/DUNGEON CRAWL
0 Point: PIRATE

The Good News is it looks like I don't need to learn how to draw Pirate Ships.  Anyway, if you haven't voted yet, drop me a line here on the Blog or on either Facebook or the Twitter.
