Dated 4/18/03. I had a lot of fun drawing this one. I have no idea what Astro Gecko thinks he can do in this situation, but I admire his courage. Abstract Gator reappears just in time to help Astro Gator and Astro Gecko.

You can see a little bit of white out on the third panel. Free-handing straight lines can be tricky. I didn’t mind using straight-edges on backgrounds, but I didn’t want to do it too much on characters. Besides, the slightly janky straight lines on Abstract Gator add to the abstractness.

The top-down perspective in the middle panel is meant to mirror the bottom-up perspective of the middle panel in the previous issue, for what it’s worth.
