Tenderness on the block

I had a rather ambitious idea for a large story arc in the comics spanning over Christmas that would visit the death of Sally’s parents and also coincide with the holiday season. I then learned it’s a bad idea to plan major story arcs around Christmas, and the time I normally would dedicate to making comic strips has been busy since then. I’ll get back to it eventually.

Part of the plot I want to get to is also during that holiday season and with John’s unexpected shore leave, he made sure to propose to Becky by the end of it. I’ve been dinking around a bit with digital stuff in Photoshop, so here’s a sketch of that happy betrothed couple just in time for Valentine’s Day.

I’ve also been listening to a lot of Warren Zevon hence the piece’s title, and am waiting for the copy of Excitable Boy I ordered to finally ship. Give the song a listen yourself.
