"MechEng Online!" 3/3



This is the final Nov.19 strip for the first plot arch. It's pretty tough trying to tell a continuous story in only 4-7 panels that is still dynamic and enjoyable for the reader who hasn't been following along the whole time -- all in a 4x10 inch space. By my third hack at it, though, I think I'm catching on (I still like last week's formatting better). I was told my characterization is stronger this time around as well, as I get more familiar with drawing them and developing my own style for how I want the serial to look overall.

Fun Fact: panel 5 is depicted in front of the destroyed University Hall. The name of the reporter is the pseudonym of the real-life opinions editor for the student paper.
