Okay, self-indulgence time! I was particularly pleased with how Bob Zombie turned out, and wanted to share some details. Since the flesh needed to be dropping from his bones (à la Henry Lee :)) he needed a skull under the flesh of his head. Additionally, a later strip calls for the skull to be articulated and for him to have a thick, meaty tongue. Add in a few cutesy worms crawling about in his hair, and there you go – Penny starts another new year with another new boss!
A special nod of thanks to Jason Freeny.
