I love that you have a section for allusions, just in case. I used to make similar comics where I'd allude to things no one got, so I understand why!
BUT LOL I LOVE THIS. Especially Castiel. HAVE I EVER GEEKED TO YOU ABOUT HOW YOU DRAW HANDS? Hands always kill me. Even shorthand hands, no pun intended. Got any seekrits or tips?
There were so many allusions I thought I may have to put them all down.
Hands are practice. Practice, practice, practice. The palm is an upside-down triangle, and the underside of the hand is curvy and pillowed compared to the hard ligaments and bony protrusions of the top of the hand. Draw hands from every angle. Draw them curved around objects, or relaxed, or angry claws. Draw, draw, draw. ( drew them a lot when I was young, and made my mother pose for hours. ;)
Seems as though you learned the hardest thing ever when you were younger - pushing yourself to draw the things you suck at to improve. Where I definitely avoided things I didn't want to draw, so now I'm stuck with practicing now. Thanks, though! I read in several animator's guides how everything in the body is one side straight angles, and one side curvy. (Like an arm, a leg, etc.) And the hand is no exception! Thanks for the tips. :)
I've been lurking and reading your comic for a couple months now and I keep meaning to review but I'm lazy. But after this I couldn't not let you know just how chock full of awesome you are!
I secretly wanted Dean to answer Castiel just like that, and the look on Dean's face in the second panel is perfect! I also love that commercial, I laugh like a crazy person every time he says "The towels are kinda scratchy" you captured his expression exactly!
I look forward to this comic every week and you never disappoint!

That commercial just screamed inspiration for comic. Especially after Castiel's line in 4.02. It all clicked too well, towels and all!
Thanks! I'm glad I don't!
