All the art supply stores seem to have simultaneously stopped carrying my favorite inking marker, the Pigma Graphic 1.0 millimeter.  They’ve all still got the microns, but the 1.0 lets you go fine or thick… sometimes both with one stroke!  Hence, today’s was inked with a 0.5mm Micron and some Staedtler where the ink runs and size is defined roughly as Medium.  Still, I’m happy with how this one came out… though, as usual, I wonder if certain things aren’t confusing.  Panel two is Chipper opening his eyes to the crack of the bat making contact, but it could easily be read as his eyes making that sound, however absurd that would be.  And then there is the gray area of ’soaking’.  If you glance over episode No. 0 (Rulebook, Found), you’d know that in this imaginary league, you can get someone out by pelting them with the ball.  But until that is clarified dramatically in the next episode, you might think Jimmy Pelikan just got strange and vengeful for no reason.  Chipper’s instructions to just ‘throw it in’ as well are somewhat vague… after all, isn’t that what Jimmy does, in a sense?  But he’s really telling him to throw it to Audrey Kimble at Center Stake, and not try and do something nigh impossible.  Maybe I’ll change that text.  Any thoughts?
