Did anyone notice how Lommy's eye's change in the last four clips?

I wonder how all this will turn out? Roast pumpkin seeds, or lots of pumpkin pies!

I did! The character's expressions are my favorite parts of the strips! For this last one, I sat there looking at Lommy and wondered, "How does Hookbill do this? Does he sit there and draw it just so, or does he just wing it and it turns out like this - consistantly good?"

A bit of both.

Lommy and Alien are quite difficult, I have to say, as they only have one visible eye at a time. The Phantom offers different problems since I have to rely solely on his eyes to get an expression across.
Who knows? perhaps one day we'll see what's under that hood of his.
