Description

As close to a perfect Clowes as it gets for me: Standalone single page story, self-portrait, peak reading period, ridiculous incel humor/commentary. One of two dream EIGHTBALL pages that I never thought I'd have a shot at. Went a little nuts to get this one. No regrets.

Does your large art and huge porfolio explode in ink dropped happiness when a lady approaches?

Are those ink drops in the bottom panel or is he just happy to see her? Very happy. Ink studs, indeed, though it is a handy skill to be able to draw the girl of your dreams.
