Voting Incentive & Patreon Gallery

(Historical Notes: Barf.  Yeah, if you thought I was being too hard on myself over the previous pages, just LOOK AT THIS HOT MESS.  It’s legitimately difficult to even SEE the art here, because the background image showing through is so distracting.  At best, I would have needed to have a second layer of SOMETHING between the background and the line art to cut down on the noise, but I don’t think had budget out enough time to do that level of extra work.  Remember, I was cranking out two regular comics, two Voting Incentive, and several extra Conventional Wisdom and Patreon comics every week at this point, so it was really REALLY easy for me to find myself scrambling to pound out something at the last minute and not think too hard about the end result.  I’m pretty sure Past Me was unhappy with the line art here, and hoped that a really busy background texture would hide a multitude of sins.  Instead, it just made things SO much worse.

All that said, there is a sort of “Pink Elephanse from Dumbo” vibe here that I do think COULD have been satisfying to look at, if only I’d taken the time to do it right.)
