Foetal Transaction
20-12-03
Mmm.... foetuses. You'll note the lettering's changed to hand-lettered. Subsequent strips are also hand lettered, but with smaller text than the half-inch letters in this one.
The unwieldy size of the lettering meant a couple of scripted lines got cut: Halifax commenting that you can 'see his little face and the withered arm that got him aborted' and Shakra's culinary opinion on foetuses. ('Not very nice. Too crunchy.')

However improbable this may seem, strips in the upcoming week required me/will require me to use Elton John, Bettie Page, woodcut illustrations and Brad Pitt as reference material. This will all make sense very shortly, I promise you.
