Magical

magical-completedAviation, itself, is a magical thing. To think that we can take these hulking machines up tens of thousands of feet into the sky successfully, it is a remarkable bit of engineering. Selling retail aviation products, however, well, it is far from magical. That really goes for all of retail. None of it is enjoyable.

This comic was recycled from one of my earlier sketches (I may put the original up one of these Thursdays or something). Not much about it has changed except for one of the characters and the character designs.

Throwback Thursday: Black Friday

throwback-thursday-black-friday-completed

Here is another early retail comic sketch that I did a couple of years ago, before I fleshed out the characters and the store dynamic. At a small shop like Aviation Supply Company, they would probably not participate in the Day Which Shall Not Be Named. There is not much reason for it, since it is a small shop, and most Shoppers abandon the smaller stores in favor of big box retailers offering ridiculous special pricing. It just would not fit the current dynamic in the webcomic as it currently sits. But, since we are nearly to the Day Which Shall Not Be Named, I figured I would share this with all of you. Note that the only character who has remained the same is Poe. I went ahead and framed it up for y’all to give you a better idea of how it was supposed to look. Enjoy, comrades!
