(Historical Notes: Not a lot to add about how cold and windy it was outside, so just a few artistic notes.  First, he transparent snow effect I used in these pages didn’t really turn out the way I intended, I should have done the transparency the other way around so that those dark spots wouldn’t be so dark, but somehow the dreary mood still comes across way better than it did in any of the original pictures I took.  Second, the way this comic formed in my head, I was supposed to have this big, silly grin on my face in the second panel.  It wasn’t until literally the point I started drawing that I remembered the costume would cover my face up.  Whoops.)
