EDIT: Proof that it's useful to have someone critique your stuff. Fixed the perspective to make things a bit more dynamic.




Paolo usually turns to waiting tables when the thieving isn't so great (more often than not, lately). His older half-brother is a chef at an Italian restaurant, and Paolo knows enough of the staff to beg for a job when it suits him. Even though he tries his best to be as obnoxious and surly as possible, it's a high-end establishment so his snooty behavior isn't entirely out of place. His older bro wishes that he'd get a real job and stop slumming it, but knows deep down that this is an impossible dream. Even so, he lovingly threatens to hit Paolo with a cleaver whenever he slacks off, since this is the sort of character-building thing that they both missed out on as kids.

I didn't see all the snapping before the editing set in, but the fixifyed version looks spiffy to me! Next he has to deftly catch them all and save the day, before someone else knocks him over again and the dishes all kersmash. otherwise, there must be something wrong with the universe.

I like that you used a gradient for his shadow and how smooth your line work is.

Heh, you'd think a thief would have better balance.

You would think so, wouldn't you? He's still pretty wet behind the ears, so maybe he'll get better at this whole balabce thing eventually.

In some infathomable way, I think Paolo's sort of pathetically cute. Just like, "Awww, look at him try to do that normal, easy task! He's failing so miserably! Awww."
There must be something wrong with me.

haha, he's meant to be ';pathetically' appealing. It gives him a little growing room as a comic progresses.

Oh! Mission accomplished, by all means. Good tactic... I wonder if that means maybe he'll muster something vaguely badass at the end of everything. I say vaguely- I think genuine badassery is likely beyond Paolo...

'badass' is not a word I would use to describe any feat attempted by Paolo. Maybe ill-advised or alarmingly dangerous.

Yeah, gotta agree with you there, and not just because Paolo's yours. However, could a case be made for an ill-advised and/or alarmingly dangerous attempt at badassery?
