Sorry this one took so long to draw. I had a tonne of Photoshop crashes, and I tried a few things which I’ve never done before, particularly with the shading on the dolphin statues and stuff. This comic is actually pretty important in terms of the overall storyline, so I wanted to put some extra effort into it.

Speaking of which, I’m not used to writing a story where I’ve got the plot planned out in advance. I kind of feels like I’m cheating.

Oh, and I redrew the final panel of Interlude #24 a couple of weeks ago – if you’re wondering why, just compare it with the original.
