I'm sorry. I want to comment on this comic, I really do, but I'm too distracted by the new Elliot hotness that is panel two. Just look at that determination and those inexplicable background ninja stars.

Okay okay. This comic was a lot of SCIENCE!, and not just because of Elliot hotness. Something I've been doing to help with my shoulder and general health is to stand up and move around a bit every 30 minutes while working on the comic.

What's important, however, is that this means I was effectively timing how much I could get done in 30 minutes. Once I got to the inking stage for this comic, I took it a step further with a stopwatch and kept track of how long certain steps took.

I've always been terrible at predicting how long it takes to make comics, but... I'm gathering data now. I'm going to have something to go on. I might actually be able to plan accordingly and make halfway decent estimates of when things will be done.

I know. I'm scared, too o__o
