More little bits from my work in progress, context-free.

These drawings were all done by hand, pencil on paper, and are finished except for digital editing . . . and cropping . . . and composition on pages with other panels . . . maybe a spot or two of color . . . and the addition of captions and dialogue.

a woman in an old-fashioned dark dress looks aghast, staring wide-eyed at a bearded, balding gentleman with one arm casually raised
