About

The comic is drawn on 11x14 Bristol Board. A variety of pens and materials have been used over the years, but currently I use a 0.05 Micron for pretty much everything except text and solid blacks. Text is done with a 0.3 and 0.8 Micron, and solid blacks are done with a W&N brush and whatever black ink is cheapest that week.
