    Nice knockout in panel 1. I sincerely hope that the plan improves over what it appears to be right now…

    Are we sure that’s a bottle and not a bowling pin with a label?

    By the way, where does One-Eye get his clothes? And does he own a red outfit as well as his black outfit? Although, there must be two of each color, I’d guess.

    That’s terrifically offensive, bassman.

    Panel 3: One-eye’s decided that if this whole ‘crooked casino manager’ thing falls through, he’ll take up a job as a Kabuki actor. He already has the outlandish costuming down. Also, how large-scale is your plan if, once complete, it won’t matter that you hit a cop over the head? Are you planning to take over the world or what?

    kerowack, when you do your version of DT, don’t alter the storyline—such as it is—just act as if you are the cartoonist, not the writer. use your own version as to how the story is presented, like different poses, views or character placement you’ll probably find you will be putting more time into it than you thought, if you get into an extensive rework. It would be great to see a comparison of just the artwork itself, showing a better grasp of human anatomy, consistency and perspective than the current strip producers.

    good luck!

    He probably has four “suits”.

    With apologies to the late Jim Croce, Jack’s face in panel 3 looks like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone.

    Well, I once had high hopes that this would be a good story. But, no more.

    On the bright side, when DT quality deteriorates, the comments get better.
