This comic took me a long time. My original comic for this date — the first Dumbstruck I ever posted online — was hasty, slapdash, and didn’t make much sense. With this do-over, I’ve tried to capture the same feeling and events in a more coherent way. It was a scary time, which I think is easy to forget now. I also struggled to keep my drawing style like how I was drawing 10 years ago, which is always an odd challenge.
