Half the Battle

#10 — Man on the Moon

This is one of the very first strip ideas I came up with, and one of my per­son­al favorites.  The idea comes from an episode of the car­toon where Cobra Com­man­der’s grand scheme was to burn his face on the moon with a giant laser.  I saw it as a kid and nev­er for­got it.  It just seemed so stu­pid.  I watched the episode recent­ly, and cer­tain char­ac­ters with­in the show agreed with me.  Destro (who makes his first appear­ance in my strip) scold­ed Cobra Com­man­der for wast­ing mil­lions of dol­lars on what he called, “cos­mic graf­fi­ti.”  When it’s word­ed like that, it kind of seems awesome…

Any­way, this strip has tak­en me the longest to do by far.  Since I kin­da suck at Pho­to­shop, I decid­ed to take a tuto­r­i­al on how to draw a moon. Enjoy!

And now you know…
