Flying on Fumes 16

Transcript

We see Kraal with tears in his eyes as Chris leans forward, looking concerned and saying, "Whoa, hey man, are you doing okay?" to which Kraal sniffs and replies, "I... yeah..." Kraal glances sideways and says, "A little emotional is all..." Chris smiles sympathetically and places a hand on Kraal's shoulder saying, "A little? I think this is more emotion than I've ever seen from you." We see a closeup of Kraal as he says, "I know, it's just... I've been trying so hard to finish early so I can get home sooner. I've really been missing... my family lately." Next we see a closeup of Chris's face, looking surprised as Kraal continues, "It'll only make a day or two of difference. But still..." to which Chris replies, "Ohhh... wow. I had no idea." Finally, Chris smiles and gesters behind him with his thumb saying, "Well then, eat and get out of here! You've got some exams to finish!" as Kraal glances up at him and smiles gratefully.

Kraal’s like an onion. Peel back enough layers, and you’ll eventually see him cry.

Behind the Scenes

I got to the end of the process of creating this page and realized I hadn’t been consistent with the placement of the lunch bag in Chris’ hand… In one panel on the previous page it’s there, then it’s not. Then in the first panel of this page it’s not there, then it is. Guh… 😖

It’s not a huge deal, and it’s plausible he could have set it down and then picked it back up again. Plus, there’s a decent chance that no one will notice. At times like this, a comic artist needs to decide whether going back and fixing something will be worth the extra time. Once again, any time spent fixing this mistake is time that could be spent on the next page.

My plan is to see if anyone notices it (without me pointing it out to them 😉) and decide what to do from there. I may just leave it be. If a bunch of readers find it distracting though, then I may go back and fix it. I guess we’ll see!
