Cultural Differences (Patreon)

It's funny, twelve years into our relationship and Matt and I continue to bump into cultural differences that take us by surprise. Like, I know as far as cultures go, British and American aren't that different. And yet...

Okay, so Matt became a citizen last week and we're including a note about it in next week's comic.

Matt typically makes edits to the layout of the pages while he's coloring them, which lead to this...

He mirrored his pose so that the direction of the reader's eyes would be drawn TOWARDS me, instead of off the page. It propels the visual path forward through the comic. It's a good design decisions! But, if you're American, I'm sure you understand why this will not suffice. So I dropped Matt a note:

He's still insisting no one is going to notice >.<

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHHH

I'm gunna go sneak back into the file and fix it later today.
