Yeah that panel did give me some troubles. And you're right, I didn't get it the way I really would have liked. When I had first roughed this page out, it was even in worse shape in that I was trying to fit Zip's dialogue from panel 2 in there as well. I talk a little bit about the troubles I encountered with this scene in the blog next week. It's good to make mistakes though with comics. It's what keeps the creative juices working. :) Hey Jas.

It took me a couple reads to get the right flow (Zip's words followed by Willoughby's words). I kept reading it the other way for less impact. It'd be interesting to get your thoughts on how you place your word balloons to ensure the right flow...(in general, not necessarily on this specific panel). jas Trade, did you struggle at all with the placement of the speech balloons in panel 3?

Is it the balloon shape in the first panel that you're looking at? Or the hazy yellow color in the third panel? If it's the first, it's just the yellow balloon from the kayak. If it's the third panel, it's a color change that I tried to use to show the glow from the porchlight. Looking at it though, it doesn't work so great so I may edit it a little when I have a chance. That's the beauty of the web. You can always change stuff if you need to. :) Hey Maia, Thanks for the question. Is it the balloon shape in the first panel that you’re looking at?

Did Zip and Li'l Bit manage to bring the moon down with them? What is that yellow floaty thing doing above the kayak? Did Zip and Li’l Bit manage to bring the moon down with them?

Mark, I've seen that Little Nemo book in the store. It is freakin' huge! I haven't had a chance to look at that book. When I'd seen it in the store it was all wrapped up. I bet it's incredible. I've got a Nemo book that I got about 10 years ago that I really like called The Best of Little Nemo. While not as extensive as that one, it's a more comfortable reading size, and has introductions for each section by Maurice Sendak, Charles Schultz, Bill Watterson, and even Chuck Jones.

Love to read it, hard to hold it. Great comic today BTW! I bought that gigantic Little Nemo collection a while back (the one that’s like 10 foot by 5 foot) and it’s the same problem.
