Oh, to think of all the awful interiors I’ve seen. Acres of gray plastic and CD players jammed behind shifters. Ford’s tragic Reese’s cup two-tone colour scheme. Ages past where wood grain paneling was fair game anywhere. Chrysler’s butt-stupid single, centrally-mounted map light–perfect for casting the navigator’s shadow over the map they are so desperately trying to read. The pungent smell of mid-80’s BMW entry-level vinyl upholstery. It was worth leaving the e-brake on during the way home just to cover up the stench.

ED will be revamping yet again soon. Story arcs really aren’t my forte.

Maria started for the first time today since I pulled her into the Morris Racing garage last month.
With only ballpark timing and an overtaxed cooling system for the new 383, she angrily barked to life, throwing flaming unspent fuel out of the exhaust manifolds before settling into a uneven idle.
Before she runs again, she’ll need tighter timing, a bigger radiator, and new gauges to track her vitals.
I knew she’d be loud, but she’s become twice the harpy I had anticipated.

Well, the inking phase has pushed episode #3 two weeks overdue due to old fashioned inking failing me.
I tried with my brush pen, whose ink seems to have an extreme prejudice against opacity, then switched to acrylic ink that was apparently engineered to dry onto the pen nib after four strokes.
For the time being, I’ll be scanning in the pencils and inking in Gimp until I fall in love with it, or hate it so much that I move onto yet another method.

…maybe not. I thought of posting the pencils, but I wasn’t warm to the idea. I’ll post it as soon as it’s finished.

Like any good ED relaunch, there’s a delay. Comic will be posted Wednesday night.
Damn engine swap is eating all the free time lately…
