A little bit of process talk and a happy accident… there’s so much text in this episode that there was no room for our slumbering hero in the last panel. At the last minute, looking at the fourth panel, I worried that some readers might think Quimp had risen or snuck off (or evaporated, or had sunk into the planet’s crust – my readers are very inventive). To avoid confusion, I did something I hate to do – I copied-and-pasted the figure from panel one and added his rump to the bottom of the panel. Once I realized it was a chance to have our hero’s butt facing the sword, it made everything worse for the sword and better for us. :D
