When I first conceived this comic over a year ago, and I came up with the idea for Kat's character, this is one of the original strips I had planned to make. It is one of the few of my original ideas I didn't make in the first few. I could never seem to get Kat alone in the house in the storyline until just now. I think it turned out pretty well, though. Almost exactly how I had envisioned it.

I had a lot of trouble drawing this one. You should have seen the first few times I tried to draw Kat with her legs crossed. But as I did it more and more, it got better and better. I'm happy with the result. It's times like this when I'm glad I still do an initial sketch of the comic in my sketch book before I try to draw it on the final paper. It adds more time to how long it takes to finish a comic (and this one took me three and a half hours to write) because I am drawing the same picture three times, but it can be well worth the effort to see a beautiful piece of art like this one.

I had not originally planned to draw Kat so small in these panels. I'm not sure why it turned out that way, but I kind of like it. All that empty space on the floor really adds to the sense of aloneness that makes the comic work. Plus, I really love coloring that tile pattern I came up with from my very first comic.
