Not happy with my inking here, but it was still lots of fun to work on.





Emile is itty-bitty, weighs maybe 90 lbs. soaking wet, and has no problem scurrying up walls, dashing across clotheslines, and running into all sorts of death-defying, horrendously dangerous situations. At one point, he had the flexibility of a ragdoll, the reflexes of a cat(burglar), and the depth-perception of a person with two whole eyeballs. Now he's considerably more cautious about undertaking daring and/or suicidal feats, since he is now swiftly approaching forty, is rarely fully sober, and is no longer in posession of his right eyeball (or his right kidney for that matter, although that has less to do with acrobatics and more to do with (an admittedly deserved) shanking).
