I have to reserve at least two days of work for each of these pages- with the normal
story, I only had to plan out at least one. I will NOT do this again with another story
for a long time, as it's pretty intense. I love the results, though, and it makes me learn
tips on how to get them through painting.
I have no idea how he tied all those things to his tail, so don't ask. The last squirrel on this page is based on a character in the original 2000 hand-drawn story, only he was a gray squirrel. 'Glad to have him finally appear here, if not for the canonical series.

This is the first of three pages for a new mini-story featuring the characters from Norm
& Cory. I had this in mind for an intermission during the main storyline for a while,
and now seemed to be the right time to make it, considering it has to do with harvesting
and whatnot.
This story will be completely painted, not just drawn.

I did want to continue doing the tradition of a Halloween pic, since I have been having
fun doing it in the past. I DIDN'T want something I seen before (yes, yes, yes, the
pumpkin's stem is phallic- I get it). So here we have them all as zombies, taking off
their masks. The Mystery Man in the far back still has his on- it's not that clear.
There is also Burt, who has not been introduced in the story yet, as well as Gunthrie, Madame and Yvette here. Burt's design was one of the many driving reasons why I discontinued the comic as of now, as he was REALLY HARD to pin down. Hopefully, if I continue, you'll get to see him in his normal clothes.
This also marks the first time for me using custom brushes.

TO ALL READERS: Yes, a page is skipped before Page 077. I don't know how that happened,
but it basically explains that Leo died of unseen causes. It is implied, by the last panel
we see his face, that he did himself in.

Up until this chapter, I had always drawn Norm & Cory with an actual pen, and scanned
in the characters into the computer.
It isn't noticable, but this is the FIRST CHAPTER that is drawn entirely with a Wacom stylus, so it is completely digital! I think it helps with the sudltey of the lines- they're a bit cleaner than what was previously used.

The best way to explain why the squirrels only run half a mile is with a map. The
punchline DOES make sense, anyway.

Despite being the actual cause of the red squirrels changing their mind about the birds,
Cory is doing nothing here except fooling around. It shows how much control he has over
others.

Wow, I started AND finished this all in one day (yesterday)??! Well, I didn't really have much ELSE to do. :( I wanted to finish it on my birthday so I could have something to submit then. It really makes me reevaluate my abilities.
That's Philbert's arms and fists in the first panel. I don't know if that's clear enough, especially since we haven't seen him in a while.
If you notice in the last panel, some of the bird houses and characters are standing sideways vertically to the tree trunks. In cartoons, tree animals and their nests or whatever can defy gravity and can open up even more possibilities to get around. That is a very novel idea! Why didn't I think of that before?! Why don't you ever see it anywhere else in any cartoon? It really makes me want to continue the actual comic.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
