You Don't Have To If You Don't Want

Rio is obviously avoiding any alcohol himself after his first - and last - encounter with it, when he was sick all over Halifax's shoes and somehow agreed to be his student. If I got sick on someone's shoes and then agreed to be someone's pupil the first time I got drunk, I'd probably have sworn off it for a while as well.
Although I complain every time Mary gives me a new script (internally, I mean) about the fact that I have to draw things again, I realised recently there's another part of me that really, really, loves making comics, even at the times when they're a complete pain in the arse to be bothered putting together. I'm especially happy now the comic has started looking really nice, everything kind of pulling together to make this cohesive whole. I like to think that Mary and I have built, and still are building, a little gem of some form here on Raincannon. We're both still learning, of course - the point at which anyone stops learning is the point at which their work begins a slow, inexorable decline - but things are working well right now, the deadline issue aside.




DAVID'S DVD EASTER EGGS:
The amount of drinks it takes for Holly to get from sober to piss-arsed drunk is nine. Five has her dancing on tables. Seven and she starts asking everyone if they need anything from the bar every five minutes. Eight and she starts chatting up men that are completely unsuitable for her.
It will not surprise you to know that she and Halifax decided to get married after eight drinks.
