And here we have it: the dramatic conclusion to Fenton’s 4-page spotlight.
And that’s that! Since this comic was completed in a rapid dash for a deadline there’s still a lot more painting to be done to bring it up to snuff, so I may update these images sometime in the future with cleaner meaner versions. But for now, in typical style, my next comic will probably be about something completely unrelated to this! Get ready for excitement and…I don’t know. Manatees? You tell me.
In the department of exciting news, I have a piece in the upcoming Top Secrets-themed issue of Portland’s own Stumptown Underground! This is my first anthology inclusion so I’m extra thrilled and would love to see your grinning faces at the release party this Friday. The shin-dig goes down at In Other Words (14 NE Killingsworth St.) this Friday from 7-9pm. Hope to see you all there!
The cannonballs! Now I get it. I thought it would be a mistake to end this comic just as the story was taking hold — but now it all works as a leadup to that one famous, controversial photo. Thanks.

Glad it works for you, Alan! These shorter, self-contained stories have been a real challenge for me narratively, so it’s nice to hear that they wrap up neatly enough in practice. Thanks for continuing to keep an eye on the blog.
Congratulations!
