He looks determined without being ruthless. Something heroic in his manner. There’s a courage about him, doesn’t look like a killer.

great. The cats have knocked the jar over and broken off a piece of the lid. I’m sure I’ll find the missing piece somewhere. At any rate, let me just turn forty-five degrees and take a single step (barefoot)
If you want my advice (and I don’t see why you would), you should try to have both or all of the characters who are in a given conversation also exist within the same panel. At least a couple of times per page during the scene

Nobody does it the same way, so you have to build your own practice. Hardly anywhere pays you enough to take any lip from anybody, so do exactly what you want. If you’re an artist, start measuring projects in lengths of time out of your life to orient your priorities. Do your stretches.

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

I have not been able to keep up with American superhero comics in the last few months because my brain hit the switch where I only read manga

Having said that

“Batman” is cool. They’re still going with the “Alfred is dead” story
