BACKMATTER: The original designs for John, Yona, and Nemoman. Originally Nemo was literally going to be Batman, but I decided that was the kind of surrealist high concept that would trample the execution.

(Plus now I can reprint it without watching my back for Michigan J. Frog)

A small thing, potentially of interest to process heads: I had a clear idea for panel 15, but my initial stab at it felt crowded and inert. I scrapped it and started again, pulling the camera back and raising the background, giving it the sense of depth it needed.

If you'd like some more content in this vein (sharp dialogue, people in masks having feelings, feet) my mystery/adventure series LAVENDER JACK has been running on #WEBTOON for nearly three seasons and it won't cost you a dime: webtoons.com/en/super-hero/…
