Gay Cowboys Eating Pudding

Look! Superheroes having tea! Why isn't this book getting more recognition? I should have an Eisner, a Harvey, and a Grammy because of this brilliance.

But seriously, here we go with another flashback panel. The Crusader has gone to visit Amazonia at her office tower, and then they have the aforementioned tea. This page was hard to break. I knew what ground I had to cover, but I couldn't figure out the jokes. I struggled with it for three days, and then...

Well, when I was a kid, I used to sit on my bed and toss a ball into the air, all the time thinking of stories and ideas. So much of Raider was originally written that way and a bunch of other things that haven't seen print. At least not yet.

So after three days of racking my brain, taking walks and long drives, I sat on my couch to watch some football. I grabbed a beach ball that I got as a promotion from some photo stock house, and tossed it in the air. Before it even came down, I had both jokes.

Sometimes the old ways are best, I guess.

Actually, I'm pretty happy with this sequence. The next page is pretty strong. And, since this is page eight, I am officially one-third of the way through issue six.
