Catalina also didn't knew about the magic hammers. For Asgard!

Sooo, another strip where we don't see if Sarah is missing part of clothes now ...

I imagine all her clothes were still in the pile, at the least, she might not have bothered to tie her coat around her waist this time.

 

Anyway, one more puzzle to go it seems, so there's still another chance for more clothing changes.

Actually, since Nanase says she's going to go get Sarah's clothes, it seems reasonable to assume that Sarah still hasn't gotten her clothes back yet - let alone gotten any of them on.

She said she was going to get Sarah's clothes back in the last strip. Their dialog in this strip strongly implies (and in my opinion only makes sense if) Sarah has now gotten dressed.

So Mr British Editor is, for reasons decent human beings could never understand, editing the appearance of normally clothed Sarah and Nanase to imply that they are actually without clothes?

That just isn't Cricket.

Unless, of course, the transition to the next puzzle is a chase involving barely dressed women that has been accelerated on film and set to Yakety Sax.  That would be extremely British.

No, he's probably editing them in spite of them being clothed just cus he liked the cavewoman look.

You could say it triggered something "primal" in him.

Nothing makes sense anymore, Sir Editor.

If he will be sacked, see to it that we will not sack the one who will sack the editor.

That one's to show how Dan shades the comics, which is nice cus he doesn't show the process very often.

(not) very often? You mean this isn't first time? ... well, ok, unless you count the comics with different eye size and stuff like that ...

Dan used to put a lot of his concept sketches and colour tinkering.in the sketchbook section in the early years, I consider this to be part of that group.

Those sketches were mostly concepts and not sketches as part of process, later made into full images. Although that color thinkering example might count.

Behold! An extremely old and out of date behind-the-scenes comic. A few ten-year-old images with blue pencil lines left in. A couple of rejected panels, with in-image commentary. An image actually titled "behind the scenes".

Also, searching for these I ran across but didn't bother getting the links for a font test and some experiments from the transition from landscape to portrait format.

Interestingly, besides the recent color-palette tests, I couldn't find any behind-the-scenes material more recent than 2011.

Ok, totally forgot about that.

... true, blue pencil would count ...

THOSE I did remember - those were in the "stuff like that".
