I was going to do a Halloween poster. Then this idea came to me out of nowhere and I couldn’t resist.

I’m quite pleased with this one. It’s a different grouping of ducks, and I used four different camera positions. The first, second, and third panels are zooms in from progressively further away at a lower height, and the fourth panel is from the “normal” height & distance. Art!

There, see? Not so scary now, are they?

It’s been a while since I tried something really new around here. A wild thought struck me a couple weeks ago, and this is the first opportunity I’ve had to give it a go. (The last few comics were produced either in reaction to a news item or late at night when I lacked the energy to draft a whole new layout.)

These are harder than they look, by the way. A lot of hand-tweaking and research and fussing and fiddling went into this, which amuses me because my original thought was, “Hey, this would be a neat way to ‘cheap out’ for a comic or two.” Hah!
