Business Tactics Cont. (Preview WIP) (Patreon)

aaand the rest of the panels

messy af with wonky perspective that i gotta fix but i'm pretty happy with layout! Gonna need a lot of spit and polish to get to being a finished full color comic

also, hi Smoky. Smokescreen works as a intelligence agent for the Equestrian government, but he's also on Jam's payroll more often than not. Ever since Jam figured out Smoky's unsavory secret day job, she's brought him on as a spy/bit of muscle/bodyguard. Jam is super thrilled about having her very own goon. Smoky is less thrilled about the arrangement, but he's well compensated, and it didn't exactly take much convincing to rope him into terrorizing Filthy Rich. After all, Barnyard Bargains could put Sugarcube Corner and BonBon's candy shop out of business, and then where would Smoky get his precious sweets? Barnyard Bargains?? Sorry Fil but u gotta die

(ps. they're not out to actually kill Filthy. Although if a certain old businesspony were to accidentally be terrified into having a heart attack, Jam wouldn't exactly complain....)

(pss. smoky can't speak, but he makes a whole lot of spooky vocalizations. Sounds like a velociraptor crossed with a chirping insect, a bit like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifgCsFPo3jE )
