I like the sound effects I've used here: "sneak sneak" and "predate predate", a trick I borrowed from Frank Dickens Bristow. More about that in this post.
This strip has clouds in it. I now tend to keep my skies cloudless because I want to have backgrounds that bring the mainly uncoloured characters into relief, rather than blend in with them.
This is my first gull. Living on the coast, I tend to treat gulls as feathery thugs, the kind that will nick your chips and then shit them all over your car, just because they can. If seagulls ever develop talons, mankind is doomed.
For a more positive cartoon strip about a gull, take a look at Piers bakers delightful Ollie and Quentin.
