I thought long and hard about whether or not I wanted to tell the story of Stonewall and Smokescreen in the bar. I do someday, but decided I’d rather introduce the first archenemy of the S-Team instead.

These two cops were originally throwaway characters, but I changed my mind after deciding that there was too much comic potential in them to leave them in the box.

All the background graphics that I use are from Broderbund Print Shop and Clip Art. Again, I have outdoor scenes that require a lot of post-production with layering of backgrounds.

One of my bigger gripes about LEGO minifig scale is that their cars don’t allow for characters to sit side by side. They’re more like go-karts than automobiles. I like a little more realism, so I try to build vehicles that are more representative of those you see on the road. I’m not sure what this one is, but it’s a convertible and it’s got tailfins, so it’s probably from the ’60s.

One of my regular readers suggested that I ought to use a different font for Stonewall to imply the resonant, gravelly voice I imagine he has. Most characters use the Comic Sans font in this strip. I switched him to (fittingly) Cornerstone.
By now you may notice a consistent black border around each panel.
