Huh. That shopping cart is abnormally small in this one. I bet no one will notice though.
Hey guys! I was just out of town for spring break, so that's why I haven't posted in a few days (I should really get better about announcing these things before they happen instead of after). Hope you all have a good break as well!
Anyway, back to the story. If you're just joining, here's what's happened: Harley took Billy and Pete to the grocery store, but left them alone for a few minutes, so Billy took the shopping cart and started filling it with junk food of his choice. Meanwhile, Harley came back to where he left them only to find that they and the shopping cart were gone. Cool, now you're all caught up.
Here's a little colored interlude to the grocery store story.
I experience uncomfortable silences all the time, but I don't feel like Harley does. They motivate me to get better at talking to people so they don't happen as often.
Springtime is here! (It's actually snowing here today, so it doesn't quite feel like it. But still.)
Honestly, what was Harley thinking?
Originally, I thought a grocery store would be a cool setting for a whole series. But as I drew more and more strips, I realized it was a real hassle to draw all the products in the background of every panel. It did end up visually interesting, but I don't think I'll be doing a full series with it again.
I had to make sure not to draw any popsicles in the freezer, as it would have created a rather confusing scenario for Billy.
It's pretty difficult to fit six panels into a normal strip, but the dialogue required it here. In drawing this series I realized it was rather hard to fit a full shopping cart into every panel, so you'll tend to see just a thin sliver or corner of it being cropped by the box. This was a blessing, as shopping carts are very annoying to draw.
This is the start of the next storyline for Billy and the gang. I wonder what captivating events will transpire this time.
Interestingly, all of Pete's sentences in this strip are questions, and all of Billy's sentences end with exclamation points. This wasn't intended when I wrote it, but it just turned out that way.
