Happy Halloween, everybody! Hope it's a spooky one.
This one's weird. And bad. And doesn't make much sense. Please, do forgive me for this one.
More Billy-Harley prankin' shenanigans. I've always loved the comic strip Spy vs. Spy, because whenever you think one of the spies is going to win, the other one somehow finds a way to outsmart him. This strip is a sort of attempt to recreate that.
Well, that ends that story. I should have thought of a better punch line to end it off, but it's okay.
For those just tuning in to the story: Billy is teaching Pete how to score a lady with rigorous training.
I didn't really know how to draw a female turtle, so I just drew Pete with a bow. Is there even a difference between male and female turtles?

Oh, okay. How obvious.
This series was fun to write because, frankly, I don't know any more about girls than Billy does.
It was tricky to design a suit for Pete to wear, because (obviously) he doesn't have the proportions of a human. Looking at it now, I think I should have separated it into a shirt and pants, but due to the nature of Pete's body that doesn't physically make sense. But whatever, you can hopefully still tell it's a suit, so it's okay. :)
This is the start of another classic Billy story! Stay tuned!
I like Billy's confidence in the third panel, especially with the line "flying toward you like moths to a porchlight." I swear I've heard that line somewhere before, but I can't imagine where.
As with the last colored strip, I tried experimenting with brighter colors here. I like how it turned out, actually. I'm not sure that it's the perfect style of colors for me, though. I've been through a lot of different phases of coloring styles over the course of this strip, so who knows what the colors will look like in the future?
Ah yes, another fishing strip. I don't really have anything against fishing, but Billy's hatred for it is always fun to write about.
Hey everybody! Today is very special, because it's National Billy Day! It's the day I appreciate all of you for sticking with this comic strip and making this little blog what it is. Thank you all!
In celebration of this day, I have a challenge for you all. I challenge you to tell someone about Billy who you've never told about it before. If everyone does it, we've got twice the fanbase right there!
I spent a long time choosing which two objects to have Harley say in panels three and five. I eventually picked light bulbs and a hammer, but there's probably a million other combinations of objects that would have been just as good.
There are a few things wrong with this strip. First, Harley's left headphone is way too far down in the first panel. Second, Billy's line of sight in the second panel points to the "-" sign when it should be at the "+." Third, the punch line's kinda weak. I guess it was a bad day for me when I drew this.
Hey guys! I'll be out of town for the weekend, so I'll be missing a post. Sorry, but it's not too long a wait, I hope!
Wildlife Billy originated in this strip, and I liked drawing from Billy's perspective so much I wanted to try it again. The problem is, I'm not sure whether it's even clear that this strip is from Billy's perspective based on the angles I drew. I'll try to make it more clear nest time.
Get it? One dollar a pop? Eh? Anybody?
