Secrets behind the Comics

Published on by Charlie Boatner.

I’ve taken the opportunity to make corrections to some past strips that really needed it.

One change I thought worth making was to our heroes’ arrival at the City. In one panel, they were on the bus, then in the next, they had arrived, with some tiny buildings in the background. The caption said “Big City,” but you couldn’t really see it.

So I added an establishing shot. Inspired by the view of Manhattan from a bus in New Jersey, I drew two things -- a bus on a bridge and a skyline (below).

Then I combined them in PhotoShop and gussied them up, as usual. You can see the result by going to this episode http://www.bureauofbeasties.com/comic/2017/4/16/welcome-my-friends-to-the-bus-ride-that-never-ends and scrolling down, lower than usual.
