Hello?

Sorry. Things have been… less than ideal. I still intend to pick things back up again, I just don't know when that'll be possible yet. Hope everyone has been well!

Hey, so you may have noticed that things have gotten a lil quiet here… sorry. I still intend to see OTBT to the end; I just have been able to set the time aside for each one.

I will finish them all though.

How effective are those "binoculars" though?
#InkTober #OTBTober #Pokemon #Comic
Single panel comic. CLOVER the Bulbasaur and a Patrat are amongst some tall grass looking for something. Clover is looking to the left and has a vine stretched out above his eyes, as if to shade his eyes and help him search better. The Patrat has cupped both eyes as if it is holding a pair of invisible binoculars and is looking to the right, declaring, "Please don't move, sir. I'll find it in a jiffy."

Clover witnesses all of this from a distance. Photograph of the same single panel comic, which was drawn traditionally on bristol board.
