I was looking through one of those high end food magazines the other day, they had gorgeous pictures of pre-cooked steak and lobster (at prices of $140 and up for 2 people) with home delivery and everything. WAY out of my price range. The images were so well done that you could practically taste what was shown in them.
The phrase Licensed to Krill popped into my mind. Nice way to end a comic strip, but how to set it up to give the payoff dialog line? There had to be at least two cats in the frame, to work off it.
What I came up with was the previous panel would have one cat commenting that he felt like James Bond. All the cats (or maybe only the one) would have a shrimp. The comment about Bond would be stated, one of the others would ask why, then the payoff line in the last panel, to which the other(s) would respond ‘lame’.
At that point I figured, heck – give them all a shrimp to nosh on. So the first panel was them being given a shrimp each by the owner as a treat. Either just tossed, or they already have one each and are digging in.
The strip still needed a counterpoint, so at the very end the final cat in line in the picture would add something like ‘actually that’s very appropriate’.
Done. Now to draw it…..
