Awesome Marcus Ninja - Volume 1 (with apologies) Behind the Scenes: This strip is the first Marcus I wrote that actually made me laugh. The thought bubbles showing how vastly different Marcus' thoughts are from what he is saying become a big part of the scripts... I really like the idea of showing how this unfiltered man chooses to filter his language. I'd like the record to show that I would never let this strip by now... "chicks dig the lurk" is something that Marcus wouldn't say in a million years. If I were to rewrite the line it would probably be something like: "she stirs. Perhaps love's sweet kiss will outlast the carnage of this eve" or something weird like that. Ian has offered to redraw these, but at this point we want to move forward rather than putting energy into old stories. Maybe one day they won't look like junkity junk junk...
