Haha on reflection, I dont know why I didnt just say 'Moments later'

I think i should have split that 3rd panel into 2 as well, getting a closer look at the explosion.

The Legendary Shark


No, I think that third panel's great as it is - emphasizing the distance between Bill and the control he has over his own life.

As above, and I love the percent symbol and the cowering/surprised expression in the penultimate panel. Very nice.

Ah, I did not spot that at the time. Nice one. My art stars entry was considerably more rustic than most art-wise but it was a really good challenge to come up with a complete one-page story and then translate it to a comic. Much more involved than I expected!
