I hope this works – mostly The Mayor’s stance. Maybe at that angle, from his back at a 60degree angle instead of my typical front or 45 degree, his right arm works. It might have to be extended along with his bottom hand. I have saved the original art files so I can go back and clean that up. I also included the previous strip, so that it looks like Dee is running into…the next panel. Does it work because the actual new page, it’s a closeup of the Mayor’s back? OH, and the trees? I drew those on a separate page. Merged them in. None of the characters are in the composition they’re in on the original artwork. I shrunk Dee down in the new panel.

ANYWAY, after all that agonizin’, this setup and action beat is done. Now for the next pages!
