I really enjoyed this strip, though that’s probably due to the preponderance of pernicious puns.
The second panel takes some of my techniques and really throws them for a loop. I shaded everything in the foreground by my usual 15% opacity black shade layer, then erased the edges. I desaturated the background and then used a light filter (not a lens flare) to give the impression of a projector. To give a hint of…womanness…I added another 15% opacity shade layer to add an extra level of shading to Joelle.
