In retrospect - a nice byproduct of waiting to put these posts up until a while after they've already run in the newspaper (subscription here) - I think I subconsciously copied the coloration of an old cartoon (the beloved family classic) (no, not that one, also no him either).
Much as I think the aesthetic detail of gigantic feet are a crucial component of the character, I succumbed to the critique of a suffocated composition, and wound up digitally editing it into the snowbank, thus opening up some visual real estate in the layout of the panel.
It really looked awesome in print too, so another reminder to support local journalism, and the peripheral talent in our creative community - thank you to subscribers.
