Today’s comic is another example of how drawing digitally can let you get lost in details that can’t even be seen (damn unlimited zoom).
If you click the panel to the right, you can see the little logo on the Baroness’s uniform, which I think is pretty cute. It’s a throwback to a character I did a few years ago for a breast cancer research fund raiser. His name was Huby Booby and I missed drawing him. I may have to try and figure out a way to work him into the comic more often. Then again, booby-jokes may be a little too easy.
The treadmills at my gym have little fans mounted in their control panels. Ages ago, I got into the habit of holding my hands up to them while I’m doing my cool down walking. It probably looks like I’m heading into some kind of armed-criminal negotiation situation, but it feels so nice, I don’t really care.
According to this month’s issue Best Health magazine, I’m actually on to something. They’ve featured a study out of Stanford University which suggests that cooling the hands can help you exercise longer. The explaination they give is that the palmer surfaces of the hands and feet are the key radiator heaters of the body and by cooling the blood through the palms, you’re able to cool more blood returning to the heart. Furthermore, helping to avoid overheating and keeping more comfortable acts as a positive reinforcement to exercise. Neat!
They caution against using ice. It’s too cold and causes blood vessles to constrict, sending blood back into circulation before it’s had a chance to cool and suggest that holding a cold water bottle will do the trick.
I like it! We should save as many boobies as we can set them free and let them go wild I mean back into the wild. :^)
I can only imagine how much longer this comic took you to draw with all of the characters in panel one and three.
