Villains Inks
Shaenon: Here’s the first page of “Villains,” the bonus story for Skin Horse Volume 10. I forgot to scan the pencils for yinz before I started inking, so all I have to share is the inked page. Next: color!
Channing: Was there ever any question that we would do a bonus story involving the suspiciously-convenient doppelgängers of the main cast?
The answer: yes. Yes, this was a question. But we decided to do it anyway, and I’m happy about the choice.
Will they mention Georgia’s name?
http://skin-horse.com/comic/tip-wore-white/ is a nice match…
But what is he? Obviously not a phsycologist
Well, he’s a psycho something.
Well, of course not, phsycologist isn’t a word!
Oh, now I’m going to have to get volume 10. When does it come out?
Lame. Cease immediately.
First panel – it took me a while to figure out those lines are supposed to be shadows, and not speed / motion lines indicating the robo-lion somehow reverse moonwalking forward at very high speed.
This is already delightful. I suspect things won’t go as well for this particular lion, though.
I have a question. What’s a yinz?
‘Yinz’ is a Pittsburghian version of ‘Y’all’
Apparently it is just the most recent step in a long line of corruptions.
It started out among the Scots-Irish as “you ones”, morphed into “yous ones” (possibly the Bostonian “yous guys” comes from that?), then got clipped to just “you-uns”, and then got shortened even further to “yinz” – all over the course of a couple hundred years, and winding all up and down the Appalachian seaboard.
