Having a Ball

Brock has invented...a ball. The jury's still out on whether or not he's aware that his invention is an exact duplicate of the Buddha's body structure, but the smart money's on no. In fact, pretty much everything Otto believes about how this went down is dead wrong. Come on, bribery? Brock can't spell it, let alone carry it out.

We have Achewood to thank for both the way stuff that is not exactly the main part of your attention is all semitransparent and also the way Brock is laughing. Otherwise pretty much everything here is all me and one hundred percent original to this strip, which is sort of a rarity for Polytopes. Of particular note is the difference in Otto's posture and placement between the first and third panels. I am continually impressed at how something as simple as moving a character a few pixels and rotating him a few degrees can imply aggression and indignation.

You know, I really don't have a lot more to talk about. The rest of this arc is all lined up in my head to the point that I could churn it all out tonight, if I really felt like it.
