"Yeah, I cheated a bit on the background of this one... >.> I may actually make a bit of a habit out of it, as I've been playing around with it and rather enjoy the results. You can see an example on the next page. I have a Parchment pattern in Fireworks, and such a thing is just plain impossible for someone like me to do with my Crayola colored pencils. So, with a convert to alpha and inner glow filter, I was able to add some color to what on the hard copy is a plain white panel. Woot. I probably should have saved that rant for the next go, as I'm talking about the next go... I'm done.

I got to draw Mark! *laughs sinisterly* Mark is one of those characters that will spawn one of two reactions from you: You'll either find him hilarious or be absolutely terrified and/or appaled by him. He's either loved or hated by any given person. I have yet to meet a "so-so" about Mr. Hamsta. I hope he meets a broader appeal than he usually does. So something short of a bunch of picketers outside of my house would be nice. XD"

It was funny until the mob came.
