I had a feeling JayJay was a snitch. I’ll wait until it’s explicitly confirmed before I shout “I knew it!” though.
Of course, If beck were a sadistic sort, she’d leave it vague – have jayjay never return, and only leave readers with the implication that he betrayed the doc. Ragefaces abound.
If I ever meet you, you’d probably would be my favorite person ever.
you’re so clever. I love it. c:
And. And you have such an awesome array of facial expressions. Someday, I’ll be as good as this. Gotta keep chugging. -practicing artist/kiss ass/also serious-
I love how much Schtein shrinks between those last two panels. It really shows his reaction well. And omigoodness the lights! You do such an amazing job of making them look like they’re actually radiating light!
Way to hold your poker face there, Doc. In the last panel he might as well say, “I have bombs, and drugs, and booze, and, oh yeah, prostitutes under the mattress.” Looks like this is shaping up to be a Very Bad Day for him.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Also your inks really stand out in this page. Amaziiiiing. Your art is so realistic now. And the backgrounds are really quite beautiful.
You, good sir, make me want to pick up my pen & wring some drawing out sexily as you have.
This is gorgeous.
& I have fallen in love with Schtein’s ultra rat-titude in that first panel. Y’know, not for the mind-blowing colors & value & composition or anything. So expressive. I should stop talking before I make a mess.
In the fourth panel, doesn’t that closest guard’s head seem a little small? Maybe it’s just me. Sorry for taking this visually stunning page and picking out something like that, but I just gotta mention it.
I think it’s funny how quickly Schtein’s posture and bravado fade with the appearance of the warden. There must be only a few seconds between those last two frames, but his entire body language is different!
I just found this comic, and read it all straight through. The art has evolved wonderfully over such a short period of time, and particularly since you started using sai. However, the real thing that has kept me reading is how expressive the characters are, not just with facial expressions, but with body language as well.
The faces also remind of Monkey Punch’s style for some reason, which is a good thing in my book.
I must applaud you on the emotions on the bottom two panels. If I didn’t read the words, I could still understand EXACTLY what was going on. Plus the range from “Oh hey, ready to start this again? You still won’t find anything'” to “Awe snap” made me chuckle when I took the time to actually LOOK at the facial expressions and such.
Well she did pay insane amounts of cash to have him listed as dead to exact revenge on him. See what happens when someone sleeps with siblings? A loving family…..
Whoa, that first panel really jumped out at me. The colors on this page are incredibly vivid yet harmonize with the blacks nicely.
Something still looks a little weird, but I imagine that’s just SAI. It’ll take getting used to.
The mustached gentleman in the last panel clearly likes where this is going.
Never trust a man with that type of mustache.
No exceptions.
Dick. Valentine.
That clearly just supports his assertions.
don’t take your shoes off because I’m about to blow your socks off
HOLY SHIT. THAT FIRST PANEL. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE. BUT HERES A SHOT: FUCKING AMAZING.
(mandatory shutdown? more like mandatory CAPSLOCK amirite?)

*he. stupid typos.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s where this is headed (him being a snitch). Beckey did keep telling us he’s not a nice guy and to not be fooled. Oh my…
OMG! O_O When did Beck warn us about that?
But didn’t JayJay want to come with Schtein?
If a guy in prison said no to a chance of escape, it’d be pretty suspicious!
Steins plans did involve walking for weeks across an empty wasteland. Some people might not appreciate that part.
Probably not.
Also it’s spelled Schtein. c:
Schtein. Schtein. Schtein.
If I ever meet you, you’d probably would be my favorite person ever.

Aw….. balls.

He has 50 prostitutes under his mattress! oh no :c
You can’t fit prostitutes under a mattress, you can only fit prostitutes in prostitutes. Like with Matroskas. :D
Maybe they’re dead prostitutes?
I just wanted you to know how much I love your improvement. And I’m really excited for the story’s advancement.
i see you are enjoying sai
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

WARDEN’S ARM IS BEEFIER THAN SCHTEIN’S NECK
LOOK OUT, FELLA.
The coloring on this is superrrrbs.
Your art just keeps getting better! I love it so very much!
Jay-Jay WHY YOU DO THIS
Maybe you do this anyway- we shall see >:C
Als-Warden i ready to throw down. Definately an excuse to beat Schtein…..definately.
Aaaah the wardens face in the last panel. Scary!
Just look at the other two guards. You’ll feel better.
This page is gorgeous. I love the colors and lighting you used here, everything looks simply amazing!
Lighting good
I dislike the ‘missing JayJay’ + ‘surprise cell search’ combo… foreboding…
STUPID SEXY SCHTEIN
Hmm… I’m thinking of something a little different. I could be wrong.
You, good sir, make me want to pick up my pen & wring some drawing out sexily as you have.
This is gorgeous.

Keep making amazing things.

This page looks excellent! You said you were using a new program, right? I like the way you’re doing the shading now. :)
When did Doc chip his tooth?

Ahhhh yea, I forgot! The new art program really makes it pop now. Thanks G man, your comic rocks!

This just makes me inexplicably happy. =D
It occurs to me that prison has had the exact opposite of the intended effect on schtein’s personality. And I blame the warden.
Well she did pay insane amounts of cash to have him listed as dead to exact revenge on him. See what happens when someone sleeps with siblings? A loving family…..
I love all of Schtein’s evil expressions! >:D
