I swear I must have had this idea for years but never remembered to doodle it down and thus get it actually drawn and done. I would remember the setup almost daily during my walk to work over the winter as I routinely pass by someone on campus who habitually props up their Subie's wiper blades, so as to not have them freeze to their windshield during the day if the weather is trending warmer. Also a chance to touch on basic biology with antler dominance exhibited more often by moose in this neck of the woods, but as of late, 'boo have been on my brain.
Another aspect of this particular panel is how after scanning the original line art (digitally coloring the print version posted above), I went ahead and experimented with some Posca markers, which are all the rage with the hipster set in my classes. *Note that we had better results with the vastly cheaper Sharpie knockoff sets. The meta behind this was to point out a couple other things as well: 1) don't get too attached to your work, in part so that 2) you won't worry about wading right in and playing with new toys - the old "see what happens" mantra and MO of my studio sessions. Now, it turned out I absolutely loathed the end result, effectively ruining the precious work of Fine Art I had created (but safely backed up) - even tried resurrecting it with Photoshop (still failing). Lesson being never be afraid to experiment with your own stuff, and this has direct bearing on the recent foray into AI art that was published at the end of last year.
