Midtoon 207

Today's episode took me a little longer than usual and it features several sets.

I was not sure if I was portraying the fact that Erik was filthy and had a bad odor, so I went to the social media with a sample picture and several cartoonists and readers gave me their opinions. The two suggestions I used were from Nate Fakes, who suggested (indirectly) that there should be flies buzzing around Erik, and Bill Murphy, who suggested a change in the colors. I really appreciate the opportunity to share and discuss comics with them and with others who also collaborated. I love how social media, including the comments section below, can be used to establish a conection between reader and creator, which is something that could not be done in the past, and is still not done by traditional media.

Today we profile Leslie. She is an extra, so her presence in the comic has been sporadic. I can tell you that she goes to school with Erik, that until today she had only spoken one line in the comic (but she took the opportunity and performed it well), that she has been seen wearing long pants, and that she is looking better than the last time we saw her. If you don't believe me, ask George, who might have taken bus number 65, even though it took him far from Addanac City, just to check her out... Also, as an extra, her name has never been mentioned in the comic itself.

We may see more of her in the future, (or less, if she wears more clothing). For now,
SEE YOU IN THE COMMENTS!
