"Hi guys! i'm just sending a message to say how much I've been enjoying your comics. Theyre great! But I thought the latest one was a bit dull with all these text boxes floating about. I think uyo should cut down on them really.
Keep up the good work!"
I love fan mail, especially those who point out my many errors. I too hate text boxes covering up my lovely art and backgrounds. It's very inconsiderate of them!
I spend days working on a panel with awesome artwork only to be shadowed by these rude text boxes. They suddenly think they own everything. I hope Stan Lee realizes what he's done when he created Spiderman.
But thanks to the fan who sent in that email.
Trivia
-It's the first comic strip that shows my new hair style. Ironic because of how I would whine about my writer, Mary, changing her hair a lot while I'm drawing her.
-A cameo from Freelance Astronaut, Ferr, of whom never shown his face to the universe.
-On the last panel it was actually very hard thinking up words to go with the text boxes invading Ferr's personal space. It was pretty much me making up crap and little easter eggs as I went along.
If you enjoyed this strip feel free to check the rest out at my website or drop by some more fan mail.
