The idea for this strip is a more modern take on the walk and talk that I used to do, like here.
I didn't want to put George in the beanie/ear muffs since I'm still getting his new version of his old hair "right".
After this strip, we're going to bounce between George with Zoey and John with Lyn strips until we get to the wrap up strips. Sometimes the strips' themes will feel like they're rhyming and I tried to get things to play off of each other that way. I don't know how successful this way of telling the arc's stories will be as I haven't tried to do something like this since the bachelor parties' strips... but even then we'd stick with one location for a few strips then bounce over to the other-- this is one at one and then one at the other, then repeat...
If after it's over and done with, like forty strips or so, and you folks either liked it or didn't, let me know. It'll inform me on whether or not to try something like it again.
