Second page...done!

So I completed the second page. I used the same techniques as the first one (still haven't figured out anything better on the coloring), but I did letter it in Illustrator, relearning the program thanks to a wealth of YouTube videos I found. Once I learned it, it went by pretty fast. I even went back and re-lettered the first page for consistency, and was able to do that relatively quick. I'll probably go into more detail on how to letter in a later post.

This page continues Stickboy's viewing of shooting coverage from page one. Love the gag with Rivera pestering the sheriff.  It's a scene that's even truer with media coverage today than it was back in 1999.

And then we switch over to watch Rev. Jesse Jackson. Between leading the Civil Rights Movement alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and wanting to cut Barack Obama's nuts off, Rev. Jackson had a show on CNN.

This is a take off  on an episode I watched where he was single mindedly on the topic of gun control, making every segment about it, regardless of the guests. There was a Columbine parent on there he kept asking about gun control even though the father had no interest in the issue, and instead wanted to talk about how the shooting made him realize people should come together. It was just a bit odd. It's one thing if you experience something like that and it drives you to become a gun control advocate like some of the Newtown families but, if not, then it's just damn weird to try force feed the issue to someone like that.

And so here's page two. Next on the agenda: Page 3...with actual on-panel appearances by the main character! Amazing!
