These eggs clearly come with a side of beef.
I know, bad joke. But c’mon, you should expect them by now!
This past week’s strip was tough because I (Tony) got the sketches for it before I left on a whirlwind trip to London and then Beirut, so the image below of a beefed-up Egg Devil catching Tuna’s famous right jab (the same right jab that took him out so easily the first time they tangoed) has been sitting in my mail inbox for almost 2 weeks. I know I know, you’re probably thinking “Tony, just because you decide to go on vacation you’re not off the hook for Tuna Carpaccio strips!” and you’d totally be right. So in the future, I shall take my laptop and work work work on all of my vacations. Promise, cross my heart.
Anyway, here’s the ink… purty, ain’t it? Click on it to enlarge, by the way.
More comin’… and, of course, more strips!
Here’re a few rough pencils of this past week’s catch and more Egg-Devil madness. Honestly, I feel a little ashamed that we didn’t name him “Deviled Egg” because that would better fit the pun scheme we put together for this comic. But on the other hand, having him thrown in as the first gimmicky villain sorta does set the tone for our comic. What say you?
And what say you about these sketches, which you can click to enlarge?
Plenty more where that came from.
I see that Egg Devil has been hitting the weights since he landed in the pen.
He’s all Yoked ! heheh
