I’ve been sort of dreading drawing this set of strips with Jones on the toy yacht. It all looks deceptively simple but my main worries were

a) how to draw Jones clinging to the yacht and make it look convincing

b) how to convey the movement or the lack of movement in any particular frame

c) how to marry it all up with a landscape when I tend to draw everything straight-on from the side

and

d) how to show Jones using her tail as an outboard motor.

I think I’ve succeeded in the first three, but we’ll see if how I did in the fourth one when we see the comments on GoComics on Monday. If there are a lot of ‘what’s going on there?’ comments underneath the strip by the end of Monday I’ve failed.
