Hey, everybody! I've got something new! Yes, totally, completely, brand-spankin' new! Hooray!

It's called The Makeshift Man, and it is the assorted stories of an unusual fella who does odd jobs for funny folk. The first story is entitled "Black Dog". I hope you enjoy it. :3

Something I'm experimenting with for this comic is to use only implied motion...meaning no speed lines or impact bursts to denote that things are in motion. I hope it works!

My parents have an old, banged-up church key bottle-and-can opener like that, and I adore it. I hope it's in my inheritance.

He's drinking Tecate, if you're wondering.

Dude, everything's so. . .pretty. It's awesome, and that panel with the bottle cap is. . .the only word that comes to mind is cinematic.
It's way cool!

Wow, I'm really digging this so far. I've got to say that my favorite thing so far is how you express music. I know, a weird thing to zero in on, but it caught my eye. Can't wait to see more!

"Black Dog" page 15, wherein Kenneth Boon and J. P. Grange hold a brief discussion of philosophy, and wherein it is revealed that the Affenpinscher's name is Roosevelt. (He is named for one Franklin Delano, of that surname.)

Page 18, in which MM is surprised, and in which it is revealed that he wears mismatched socks (as, I suspect, everyone already assumed.)
