This one is a little unusual. When I composed this page and the next one, they kind of ran together. So, sorry if there’s a little overlap this week and next week. But I think you’re used to my comic art experiments by now – I’ll find a way to let you all see the two pages together when they’re done.
Boy, this week was a really serious situation. On Tuesday, I found out that I was going to be doing 350 miles of driving on Wednesday. For which I would have to work until 8:30 at night without a break to get all the drawings together. So I did, with the help of one of our interns – and then traveled to see our client with my boss. Then came back and made a whole bunch of changes and edits and updates, pretty much at the drop of a hat. So, yeah, it was a lot to do in one four-day week.
Well, nobody told me I had to do this for a living. Hopefully this week will be a little more normal. We’ll just have to see!
All the best, folks!
Not meaning to lower the tone or anything but… Okay, thats the scar where a sniper shot Hauley as a Sargent, in the back and through out the front, right though his armour and SOMEHOW he survives that. To which I can only say, Hauley must be tougher than balls on an elephant for that.
I am hereby adding my casting choice for Hauley in the never-to-be-made 6-COmmando movie, to have Hauley be played by Keith David.
Halley was very fortunate. The bullet was high-velocity and struck him obliquely at the split in his body armor, so it didn’t tumble as it went through his abdomen. It took a lot of surgery but he did okay – he lost a kidney and had some liver damage but he is a tremendously resilient person, and passed his physical recertification and stayed in the military. ronically, had the bullet struck his body armor he’d have died, as the armor would have made the bullet shatter and tear through him in many different directions.
For taking command for a few critical seconds and rallying his troops at great personal risk in the face of an entrenched enemy, leading in no small measure to the Canadian victory at the Battle of the Singapore Parliament Building, he was awarded the Cross of Valor, and he was fast-tracked for an officer’s career when it became clear he was going to survive in relatively good condition.
Keith David would be AMAZING as Col. Haulley!
Top notch page!

Thanks, man!

Well, unless the commies decided not to bomb Vancouver.
How arnor piercing was that ammunition? At least in our time, breaking theough service issue armor inserts with anything less than tungsten core AP is considered next to impossible unless the attack is truly massive, like antimateriel ammunition.
