I try to put atleast one joke in every strip, but sometimes, I just want to do something a little different. This is the first of 6 comics I drew during 24 hour comics day, and throughout those strips I’ve played around with some new effects. One was the last panel here (chosen from 2 alternatives), where I try to visualize sensations, something Scott McCloud taught me. I think it’s a very fitting description of what Tom feels at that moment.
