The comic's done, finally. This introduces Rich, who will become a standing member of the cast showing the world picture. Or at least, his idea of the world picture. It was a challenge coming up with a character design for Rich, since the person he's based off of (in part) has long hair and laughs all the time. To say the least, he wasn't exactly ideal for a military character. I think that's why I like Rich though (both as a person and as a character). His personality creates a juxtaposition between army regulations and his own laid back ideals. That's not to say Rich isn't hard-working, you just won't get him to crew-cut his hair. Thankfully this is fiction, and I can play with ideas that don't happen in real life. Rich is in the International Air Force by the way. More on that later.
