This is my way of redeeming myself for a horrible, terrible, no good crack drawing I was goaded into posting (but ya won't find it here, no sirree!).

Anyway, you're probably wondering why this looks so rushed. I'll tell why -- because it WAS rushed. Unfortunately, this is the second attempt at this comic, as my dog pooped on the original. No joke. MY DOG POOPED ON MY ARTWORK!

Luckily I had inked and was coloring a traced copy of the original pencil work. Because I wanted this done before the weekend, I've spent half the day re-inking and coloring it, sacrificing what were once actual backgrounds for plain colors (except the first panel, where it was absolutely necessary). I ended up cutting out the bloodstains on Leo that I had as well. I swear, I have to be the laziest artist ever to grace the internet.


SO! This little plot was basically spawned by this line from Nekotsuki's Underdark:

"I swear, one day he’s gonna come home with a couple of swords sticking out of his shell and covered in blood, and he’ll tell us he cut himself shaving."

Now, I've never done a serious attempt at a comic before, so any comments and concrits would be most helpful!
