So this concludes the first issue of Rosie the Reuse Rabbit, and this page marks the last of the first updates! This is really exciting, guys! I need to give a shout-out to all my friends for being so supportive, keeping up with the slow updates (hey, if I can make this a paying job, I'll totally update more!) and giving tons of positive feedback. The more pages I do, the more focused and especially more confident I become. So, while I'm not 100% happy with today's page, I know that there will be other pages in the future that I will be happy with; it just gets better, and you have to keep moving forward, right?
Some notes about how this comic is done:
I write out a really rough draft of what I want said. Then I divide it up into pages (I try for around 5-7 pages), then I sketch them out onto reused paper (from advertisements on my windshield to invoices to concert tickets), then I ink with sharpie or a black gel pen, color with prismacolors, and scan it into the computer. I use Gimp (a free art web application) to alter the image so it looks nicer on your screen (very rarely do I actually alter the art), then webpublish. Simple and old-fashioned, I know!

You won't want to miss Rupert's next installment, my fellow lolbunnies! See you next Monday!
