Long Time Coming

Original Release Date: May 18, 2010

Another page of me venting my angst concerning my job situation at the time.

Mike lets Todd know exactly how he feels about him. The last panel is a little ambiguous, though. Todd is under Bob's mind control, but the readers don't know that, yet. It seems like Mike has struck a nerve, but why would Todd care if he's being mind-controlled? But, it's also possible he's just upset because he knows he's losing his control over Mike. My original intent when drawing this was to imply that Mike had struck a nerve, but I think you can read it either way.

The background of panel one is based on a particular intersection I crossed every day walking to work. It's not 100-percent accurate, but I think it turned out pretty well!
