Pea Soup #10




Ok, So if you didn't notice, "Gramps" had a heart attack and dies. Why? Why did I do it? Well.. 'Pea Soup' was a learning experience and a "pushing" experience for me. Not only did I adapt my comic format to an irregular size, but I've also pushed away from always using medium distance framing. ( which Pea Soup #10 is a Medium distance, but its not a standard for Pea Soup) In the end I thought I'd push just a little more and have "Gramps" have a heart attack, because it may just be the most "uncomic" thing to do. I wonder if its been done at all before this? Well.. for comics with main characters anyways.

OH!! If you think you've caught a mistake I made by having him grab his right chest instead of his left (left being the side with the heart), you may just have. I intentionally did this because I decided I would look better to have him grab with his right arm. Most people wouldn't grab with thier left arm, but unfortunatly "Gramps" arm isn't long enough to reach. oh well.
