I love your speed draws.
The only thing about this strip that bother me is the lettering.

Intervention should use the regular "I" without the end caps.
The 4th balloon in panel one should be more round and less like a long oval.
Michael Jackson and Billy Mays and Farrah Fawcett shouls be 2 lines rather than one so the balloons are more round and less long ovals.

LOL, ahhhh someone told me the same thing about earlier pages with the double-crossed I. I need to start looking out for that.

Appreciate the feedback, and I agree about the lettering. Not my best work on that. I definitely have quite a few revisions to do in the letters.

Nice stuff

Really cool watching you work.

Since things whiz by so fast I'd just like to ask... do you use the pen tool for characters at all? To make smooth, steady lines?

[William Blankenship]

No I use a Painter brush that simulates a brush pen called "What I do is secret"

I limit the minimum diameter to 65% and it works really well.

Glad you guys dig it. New one next week, and a guest in the voice-over that should have you guys cracking up.
