Largin' It #5

Pulchritudinous, premium panels, presented prodigiously for your perusal.

A few moons ago (actually quite a few moons), on my original blog, I had a habit of posting enlarged panels from some of my favourite comics. Not only do they look cool that way, but you really get a glimpse of the seemingly effortless techniques of the artists with this kind of detail, so I’m doing it again…
