“The Button” was mentioned on page 10 and is referred to in the title of the current story.
This page had a bit of a Eureka moment for me. Throughout the story, the character designs have been tweaked here and there, but none more than Faye’s. I could never get her quite the way I wanted to look…. until this page. Because I work quite far ahead (I’m about a third of the way through the next story, at the time of writing) I can tell you that from this point on, Faye’s design really starts to settle down.
When I wrote this page I didn’t plan on making it look like a 3 by 3 grid. It was only when I started to layout the speech bubbles that I realised I could use the repetition as a quirky way to present the page. Hope you like it!
Maybe they should play that Stolen Babies song if they are going to push the button. You know, this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHDhA35KR_I
Great song! I didn’t know the song, but now I do! Funnily enough the song I keep hearing in my head whenever I write the name of this story is Galvanise by the Chemical Brothers, which says “Push the Button” a few times at the end.
I think the button should open up a parallel universe where their dopplegangers come out and face off against them, but they all have mustaches to tell them apart…
Haha! It’s funny that you should say that. In my notepad I have a single panel gag where Faye is standing next to a bearded doppleganger and Red is pointing a gun at them saying “but which one is the *real* Faye”. Great minds think alike!!
And here comes the BUTTON! Dun Dun Duuuun~
