Boy howdy

Here we go! On time, in the Eastern Standard timezone at least. Ah well, progress continues to be made, new notions continue to be learned (particularly in the "Things Not to Do" category, but hey that still counts).

I believe we've found Triplex's brother: Sauce Man.

Love the art work. "Ouch" for the baby boomers!

Thanks for the compliment, I'm continuing to practice with my tablet so I can draw straight into the GIMP - saving time and giving you guys bolder lines.

And don't worry, us trendy twenty-somethings will get their due sooner or later!

... all the way.

Also, does it say "Tomato Class" on the bottle or is it just me?

Good eye, especially considering how much I shrunk the original image. It actually said "Tomato & Class" but I guess some people can't read an ampersand written in my terrible hand-writing that has then been pixelated and shrunk down by about 250%.

Gawd

Also: I guess I was trying to be funny? (the jar I was using as a model was Tomato & Basil)

It is, essentially, comedic detrius from my re-working the joke at the eleventh hour. Originally I had a punchline for the final panel about Flloyd (his name, also on the jar and pretty illegible) asking Charlotte to let him "put [his] silver spoon in [her] mouth". But I abandoned that for good reason!
