Can’t wait for the next page?
Vote for I, Mummy to see a preview! (I really hope this works)
Jane has a slight deficiency in street smarts. Return to this spot on Thursday for an exciting chase through streets and down alleyways.
Original Script
Jane and the boy exit the alley onto an unusually deserted street. BOY Whispers through clenched teeth. Do not glance back. Unless you wish to appear guilty. They round the corner on the next block and pause. BOY Phew! That was close. I’m too pretty for the hoosegow. JANE They can’t imprison children. Can they? BOY Feigning offense I’m older than you. But, ‘Lewis’? What kind of name is— A series of gun shots rings out behind them, from the square. Then lots of screaming. Boy steps around the corner and is spotted by the two police tailing them from the air. BOY Aw hobknockers! JANE Looks around the corner Where those gunshots? BOY Run, eejit!
Well, that’s one way to save money on show trials.
Network air time ain’t cheap, even for a monarchy.
Love, love, love the perspective and Dutch angles in this page. It really puts everything off balance and cranks up the energy level of each panel.
Yeah, Jane sure is lacking in the street smarts. 1st lesson: Don’t step out into the middle of a street where you’ve just heard gunshots.
Stick with “Louis,” Jane. He’s going to save your life.
And “I’m too pretty for the hoosegow” is a phrase I’ve used on more than one occasion. I know exactly where he’s coming from.
Are you sure you’re not just putting “dutch” in front of everything?
Oh, nope. I see Dutch Angles is a thing. I did not know that’s what the technique was called. Thanks. I do like the angles, even if they’re German. 🙂
Stay tuned for more of the “Jane & Lewis” show, CSI edition.
I can’t believe you’ve ever been at risk of imprisonment. They gotta catch you first.
nothing like vigorous ‘peacekeeping’.
have to question the cops’ shadowing strategy. when stealth is in order, batcops seem just a bit obvious.
i agree with groovy, kinda about the dutch angles.
Thanks, I love doing angular scenes, too. But, I gotta save them for when it matters. The batcops would probably do better had they made it to a roof top to spy from, but I don’t think they’d expected their targets to double-back and spot them so quickly.
Technically, she’s gotta be older than him in years, doesn’t she? But then again, some of those years really don’t count.
Lewis is just short and Jane is a giantess. I guess Jane is technically a bit older, but Lewis is more worldly wise.
4th panel: “I am AS old as you”? (Not a native english speaker here so I can be wrong.)
🙂 You are correct, but the error was on purpose for the character. Plus, it flows off the tongue better.
