It's shaping up beautifully, Allan, although a little linear for my personal tastes.. I'm used to plots within plots and multiple storylines, all weaving into one huge "holy crap, they ARE all related!" at the end... but with a comic, especially one under the clock like this one, that can't really be expected.
On a more positive note.. you put JUST the right amount of cliche into the conversation between John and his grandfather, making it amusing to read.. which is important, as exposition hardly ever lends itself to interesting visuals either, hinging the comic upon the actual writing rather than pure drawing talent.. The drawing enhances it, but the real work shines through in the way the characters are able to go back and forth at each other, and manage to express the familiarity between family. Even if I had simply picked up the comic at that page and read it without any backstory, it would have been obvious that the two knew each other just from how they talked to each other...
I'm rambling again. I'm off to go douse myself before I end up in a full blown rant on art vs. plot and the importance thereof...
All fear the RP character from the completely private RP ^_^.
Current psuedonym/RP character count: 25
-Adding a touch of sanity, or insanity, where needed to balance the flow. .... Nah, I just like playing devil's advocate ^_^
