what do i do?!
it’s always rough seeing your significant other going through a rough, frustrating day. it’s not about you but it’s definitely impacting you. so, what do you do about it? i think my natural tendency is to try to solve it. i would ask questions, get to the root of the problem, and then offer suggestions. my thinking is if we could solve it, the situation wouldn’t be frustrating anymore! wow, was i wrong. what i learned was if they’re frustrated, most likely they just want someone to listen and to understand/sympathize. it’s not that they’re not smart enough to solve it themselves, so it’s patronizing to solve it for them. it’s a very interesting dynamic - wanting to jump in and help, but instead just sitting there and listening.
artwork wise, nothing too new, just got more expressive with the border in the third panel. i really wanted to highlight the urgent, time-critical situation finn was in so i was trying to ‘jar’ the camera and have him pop outside of the panel framing. hmm, maybe i should’ve drawn some motion blurs around his head too…
