[Begin Commentary] In this comic and the next one I’m on a trip, and that typically means that I use my Travel Wacom for drawing, which is actually the one I used to use every day. It’s smaller than my usual and thus a bit easier to pack.

However, there’s one odd side effect; the circles in my travel comics are subtly wider, because the surface of the tablet is smoother and my drawing instincts aren’t used to the lack of resistance anymore. The pen moves too easily! I have to make a concerted effort to ‘rein my hand in’ in order to make shapes that aren’t too fat.

Here, I obviously didn’t try very hard. [July 23, 2015]
