I’ve been looking for it but I can’t seem to find it. Help?

Some time later, when I read the complete Narbonic filename story, I confirmed it.

And also, I can’t seem to learn to draw faces properly in profile. The mouths and chins never seem to work. Which is a bit limiting.

I’ve always admired the way your characters seem to be properly grounded in their surroundings, even in the early art.

You object to all characters looking the same … and yet your job is editing manga?

Now, for good variance, El Goonish Shive is very good– Height and race differ all over the place, and people actually have different frames and body types. Which is also a trait of Sarge and everything she works on.

and http://girlamatic.com/mell/2000/01/01/page-twenty-three/ for Lil’ mell.

You can find the Narbonic comic yourself.
