Description
Final project for Survey of Computer Art Applications. We could do whatever the hell we wanted as long as it used Photoshop, Illustrator, In-Design or some other Adobe software. I decided to do an 8-page comic and throw some halftones on there using the super-duper technical-sounding bitmapping technique.I can tell you everything that is wrong with this comic right now, including, but not limited to:
MOIR in the halftones
The dock keeps changing sizes
The fish turns into Supergator in the last panel
I stopped caring about black placement halfway through
etc, etc
BUT DESPITE ALL OF THAT I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THIS. It turned out much nicer than I expected, especially since this was my first time using halftones. I was also kind of experimenting with angles and the 180 degree rule the whole time, so it was quite a learning experience. Thanks to everyone for the feedback for the first page.
ONLY ONE MORE FINAL TO GO!

Awesome. XD But I never thought you'd have such an ordinary name: Madeline Rupert?!? 
(PS: Does SuperGator drink Gatorade? XD)

your comics are always so random, yet with an underlying hint of something along the lines of "You should have seen that coming, I know I did."

This is wintastic. This thing, that you have done here, is absatively excelleriffic.
That long shot on the third (fourth if you count the title?) page - with the path from the house - is especially keen.

Great comic! Every sketch could prove to be a separate piece, and they are mostly interesting compositions.
I can't tell what he is standing on in the "WHUMP" frame.

He's supposed to be standing on the dock and the fish fell around him

Great job.
What's the 180 degree rule?

Here is wikipedia's take: [link]
In short: if you have two characters next to each other, they better be on the same side the whole time unless you have a panel specifically devoted to them changing sides.
People don't think about it a lot, but it can really take you out of a story if the people are randomly popping up in different positions the whole time.
