"Ant-lers"

Long-time friends & fans are well aware of my weakness for the worst gags in the world, and I'll admit to only a relative handful of my own panels are so good/bad that they'll make me giggle to myself. Which is rather weird when sketching out alone in public, hence the reason I camp out at cafes in the early morning so as to not disturb fellow patrons. 

While the initial doodle - the ant with antlers - was amusing enough, flipping the concept on the second take was even better, and was refined a bit more in ballpoint with the revised, second sketch. Also uploaded here a process piece with the penciled panel + pre-inked verbage (more often than not the usual order, mostly so as to have a better, more clear idea of where to start and stop the inked-in lines), and then lastly a fully inked example before erasing the pencil lines that are still visible.
