HAPPY PI DAY!

It's yet another submission for the long suffering March M.O.D.O.K. Madness Blog!  This time it's in celebration of Pi Day -- March 14th (3.14).  And yes, that’s really Pi to the first… I dunno, how many ever many digits fit in the balloon while still being vaguely legible.  So, I guess you could say this post is actually educational (you’d be wrong, of course, but you could say it).

I copied Pi to the first 10,000 digits into a text file and it would make Clip Studio Paint choke for a little bit when trying to import and place it, so that was fun.

Now, in honor of Pi Day, I'm off to have a big ol' slice of cake.  Er, I mean Pie.  Wait, why not both?

STEP ONE:  Since the pencils will look almost like the inks, here is the doodled idea that lead to this cartoon.  It was a 10 second sketch done on a corner of an index card.  In actuality, it is about 2" x 2", give-or-take.

STEP TWO:  And here are the digital inks.

STEP THREE:  And, finally, here are the colors.  I decided to keep the colors simple as it was 1) a cartoon version 2) the wall of text/numbers behind M.O.D.O.K. was enough noise in the background to warrant keeping everything simple in front.
