Good art in this one. Fun drawing the characters with coffee mugs instead of alcoholic beverages. The couch gave me a chance to show the characters in a more three-dimensional (ok, two-dimensional) way that the bar couldn't. I had long wanted to do a coffee shop series but didn't have the confidence to draw it...after almost two years, I finally got up the nerve.
The characters in the last panel are from Killroy, Marty Smith's comic in the Daily Illini. In this week we did a crossover with each other's strips on the comics page (I think Blue Rice characters appeared in his strip as well). Killroy was hands-down the best drawn strip in the DI at the time. Marty, if you're reading this, let me know if we can see Killroy anywhere!
