Diana don't take no guff.
There's really not much to say on this one, but it still gives me a chuckle, and I'm still pretty happy with it.
One thing I always try to do is throw in a little "B-story" if I can. Like in this strip, I have Hal quickly escorting J'onn away from the situation because he knows the direction it's heading. It would've been pretty easy to just have the entire strip be Bruce and Diana, but by adding J'onn and Hal in this way--though It's not much--I think it helps the world feel a bit more populated and alive.
It's also kind of wild to see how much Diana has visually changed over the years. Her general design is intact, but I really don't figure out how to draw her until a decent bit later. The same can be said for most of the characters, really, but Diana sticks out in my mind. Maybe because she's my favorite to draw.
Also, Bruce is screaming "Oh no!" because now he's afraid he has cooties. I'm not sure I did a great job connecting those dots.
Until next time. Take care, everyone.
