Mock 3

Here’s another mostly-finished “Mockingbird” page, sans text. It’s my least favorite so far, but it’s come a long way since I first scanned it. Specifically, I’ve had to do a lot of painstaking redrawing with the track pad, reworking facial expressions and keeping Irving’s ‘fro in check.

I’m thinking about adding some sort of emanata or background motif to indicate Jerry’s mounting anger. Maybe some stylized flames, jagged lines, or little darts of rage that radiate from him as he fumes. They could slowly invade the middle tier, finally catching Irving’s attention in panel six, when Jerry interrupts his monologue. I’m not sold on the idea, but I’m considering it. What do you think?
