Love the colouring, though I feel that the highlight around Stephan's head in the fourth panel would have been more effective if it wasn't also around Millie in the second. A kinda 'light bulb of enlightenment' thing, due to his pose.<br><br>Even taking that into account (which isn't so much a complaint more a 'what I'd have done', Ghostway ^^) , I do love the colouring job you did on it.<br><br>...Though I have a feeling that the second panel would have been lacking in background had the strip been later on in the archives, hm. And I didn't notice the fact he had Trading Cards with him in the first panel until now. The day must be really, really dry and windless for him to do that...

Actually, I believe those are floppy disks in the first panel, since he's using a computer.<br><br>Also, I use the "white-to-color" gradient arond a character is being ignored. Sort of like they're in a "bubble" of reality seperate from others around them. I did something similar in the "Ozy's first day of school" arc.

Quite like the dramatic effect (now you explain your personal rules to me, it makes sense... And as my drama teacher said, the audience complies with whatever dramatic rules are defined by the production)<br><br>As for 'trading cards or floppy disks'... Not many laptops have floppy drives, and he doesn't seem to have an external floppy drive with him... But you could be right...

Keep in mind, this was from '98, and we had a laptop back then. (Well, "portable computer", really.) It had a floppy drive.

Fair comment. Now adays they try not to give you PS/2 ports :/
