Hi Everyone!

Today we're back with Sarah and Iain. And we're joined by a friend of Iain's called Dave, a Burlesque fairy and Gary on the phone. Not entirely a typical afternoon at the pub. To top it all off, I think Sarah has just put her foot in it. 'Oops' is the word.

I loved drawing the fairy, I loved Jo's extra spikey 'on the phone' balloons and Bella's expression in the last panel. The music was a pain in the ass. Don't ask!

I also think the acting has turned out really natural on this page. That's mostly because as I was working with Bella getting the right expressions, the other actors kept asking me what they were meant to be doing. I kept saying, 'You're just talking in the background.' So when I was regiging the writing for the page I rewrote their lines to fit what was going on.

Jo and I worked really hard to ease the busy panels on the page so it wasn't overwhelming. I think it turned out okay. It was a difficult thing to do, two conversations in two locations. The next page will be the same idea. Although after that I won't be trying this sort of thing again for a long time. It's tricky!

Before I post this up I have a few things to do, the gallery stuff and the new character. So I'd better get on with things.

Have a great weekend!

Lynn
