This is one of those strips that doesn't make sense in black and white. What is Smith doing to Eric the Circle? Only once the post production and colouring has been done does it become apparent that Smith is standing behind a big picture window.
So this is the first example of me taking the standard TV production method of 'fixing it in post' and applying it to comics. Beforehand I would have laboriously tried to convey the shine and transparency of the window in black and white. But now I'm working in colour, in Photoshop, it gives me a whole bunch of new effects I can use. But I always try not to binge on the effects - at heart I still want this strip to look hand drawn.
