Description Well, that's one way to get the captain's attention. For lack of extra frames (these full body poses are always challenging; I apologize for the anatomy) we can imagine Kit tried the coattails first but to no avail. Yep, I just can't stop so have another random comic of sorts. This didn't even start out as a comic, the second panel was the first one I sketched and it was basically just because I wanted to draw a funny picture of Kit pulling Karny's tail. Then I did the follow-up reaction and it turned into all this. I don't really have any dialogue in mind for this one but Don Karnage is clearly distracted by his own scheming (and how brilliant he is at it) while Kit has a better idea he's eager to share. Maybe if the captain actually listens to this plan he'll be very happy he thought of it.

Y'know, while putting these -- and the panels on my last comic -- together, I noticed how some of them almost look like (very rough) animation. Especially when flipped really fast: sta.sh/01r8swdid3g5 and sta.sh/0oxi9ncpdbn I mean, obviously they'd need a lot more frames to look like a decent animation but they're kinda storyboard-ish and I find it fun to turn them into gifs.

Ha ha!  This put a big smile on my face. I started hearing a Jim Croce song in my head, Don't Mess Around with Jim, and the basic life advice given of things NOT to do:

You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit in the wind
You don't pull the mask from that ol' Lone Ranger

And you don't mess around with Jim


I love Karnage's surprised expression, and Kit's showdown scowl not giving a shit that DK didn't like that (being ignored isn't fun, either!).  Also, that contract between the first panel (all smiles) and the last.  That escalated quickly.

I remember that song, haven't heard it for a while but now the tune is stuck in my head. There's often a lot of contrast when sketching these two -- from happy to threatening on a single page -- and it's one reason why they're so much fun. XD

Maybe they both learned something here -- 1.) pay more attention to your protege & 2.) NEHHVER pull the captain's tail.
