THE MOST CHALLENGING PART OF THIS COMIC? The script. The punchline changed somewhat; I originally had Carrotfoot's mom in the last panel say, "Oh, its ok, Peter. It was only an accident." And then Peter would say his line left in the final comic. The other version was Peter saying the "Minor error" line in the first panel, and then in the third panel he would say, "Like I said, it was a minor error". This is one of those comics where the jokes build upon one another. There are three jokes being juggled around in this comic: The absurdity of the outcome of the play, how badly Peter screws up all the time, and Peter actually knocking over the tree on purpose. So if a person doesn't understand one joke, they'll get the other two, or vice versa.
The most fun part of this comic? Costuming. Having short little bunny rabbits yelling at each other in indian and pilgrim outfits is just plain outrageous. (I especially like the second panel.)
I just had to stick in an indian headress in this comic. It was fun to draw, but I had to refer to Greame Base's picture book, The Eleventh Hour in order to draw it. I tried to make my drawing similar to the one the tiger Max wears in the book, just as a small tribute to that book I grew up with.
Happy thanksgiving!
Keep reading, and I'll keep drawing!
