Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments. To Ladyfingers88, it is not a photograph. To do the sky I used watercolor pencils, markers and blender markers. I then scanned it at my studio in Seattle and uploaded it to Kansas City where my digital colorist at Universal Uclick, Brian Whitmer, gave it even more life by marrying the black and white line work and bringing everything together with his digital art expertise — a great collaboration. He’s one of the best in the business.
For some reason my strip did not load properly. This has happened quite a bit this summer and I have no explanation. I apologize and will try to find out what happened. In the meantime, you can view today’s strip the following link. -BB http://www.arcamax.com/thefunnies/redandrover/s-926335
