#251-Shavin’
In case y’all haven’t figured it out yet, these little friday strips are me letting you, my readers, into my craziness. Everyone has some crazy, and these are mine.
Speaking of craziness, the colored version of that alien flora/ingrown hair cluster in panel six is one of the final products I’ve been happiest with in the 2+ years I’ve been doing these comics.
Also, sorry if these strips gross any of y’all out. Honestly, in this strip, the part that creeps me out the most is the title panel where I tried to draw myself like in an old-school shaving ad. Eek!
Also! There are a few mistakes in the comic, namely: When I was inking, I forgot to ink the reflection of my younger self in the mirror in panel one, and the razor blade package in panel 7! Will fix it ASAP.

I love the alien crater part, very clever. I also enjoy your 16-year-old version of yourself. Oh to be young again.

I don’t think I’d be 16 again for anything in the world, haha
