    I… cannot see the watcmen reference.

    But. God damn. £1.20 for two coffees, and they don’t have silly names?! Lucky lucky lucky. Makes me wonder what minimum wage is.

    I don’t want to be too critical, I love this comic and I love your art style. Faces you got down, bodies you do well, hands you do well (example: Takako holding that cup in the second to last panel), but your heads are often too large for the bodies. Just something I notice at times.

    Like I said, love the comic, trying to give constructive criticism.

    Watchment reference, five minutes to noon. Doomsday clock. Countdown to nuclear armageddon. How it relates to today’s comic, not sure. There’s a Big Bad Thing coming and no one expects it?

    Gah, wish I knew how to edit my own comments. Title, and clock in the upper right panel.

    Damn, that is subtle.

    Nope, just an in-joke since everyone has Watchmen on the brain these days. It would be bad form if I did real foreshadowing by just stealing symbolism from Moore and Gibbons.

    Thanks for the feedback! Now that I’ve taken a second look at this page some of the heads– especially Cassandra in panel six– are pretty egregiously huge.

    the joke is that she’s perpetuating imperialism because those coffee beans come from exploited third world countries
