    So I’m thinking of mapping out Tracy’s office with all his team’s desks, chairs, computers, etc. I’m kinda/sorta keeping track of that now but wanted to incorporate more angles, background elements and details to make it more believable. Any input is appreciated. I know there’s a wall of Tracy’s hats? gadgets and such from the vintage strips which would be cool to put in the background somewhere from time to time.

    Trust me, I nit-pick my own s**t more than you do. You know how much brain power I have to use to keep track of how a character rests on furniture, room decor, heads and shoulders (the Annie story was a nightmare to keep that room consistent), MAKEUP, accessories, etc lol? That doesn’t mean some things won’t fall through the cracks in detail, especially when I’m cranking out these at an inhuman pace to try to get back on schedule.

    And Lizz keeps adding eye makeup because every day you chucklenuts keep telling me to. She’ll eventually morph into just a solid black mass. You’re welcome.

    Yesterday she just pulled the pad and pencil out of her purse, The coloring I think didn’t allow for the distinction. I do try to pay attention to these things ;)

    So, question for the writers and story telling folks: What is, in your opinions, the best pacing formula for these stories that that have a maximum 3 panel daily and the Sunday layout?

    If he were any more generic, he’d be in black and white.
