Ah, succor at last. Water, safety. Scott's gonna take care of everything. If I may permit myself to be a bit critical of...myself, given the whole scheme of 'Desiccate,' which you will see is only eight pages, this page is almost unnecessary. A good editor would probably come along and tell me to cut it right out to make the tale a spot punchier. And really, I'm inclined to agree, though I'm still partial to the various 'camera' angles showing us a bit more of the gas station. It is COMPLETELY arbitrary that I stuck an angle outside in the second panel though. Experimentation, that's what it's all about!
One thing to point out. The case with the drinks is the first time I ever tried out what are called 'color holds.' A color hold is when the actual inking (the black) is replaced with a color, in this case a sort of blue in an attempt to show bottles behind cool glass. I felt it was reasonably successful for a first go at it. Thoughts?
Oh wait, you know, I just realized, everything behind the gas station windows are holds too. Okay, new game, spot the holds.
