This page was infuriatingly hard to write. I had to look up a lot of stuff about billionaires and the wealthy to try and get a mindset for how Colt would talk, while also try to be coy and make him not be obviously evil. Which was just baffling since so many things rich people say are blatantly immoral. Finally I just said "Heck with it." We're setting him up to be evil, why by coy?

The exact WAY we plan to use him to that is gonna be a bit different, at least. Offhand the character's not gonna play anything like Spencer.

Fun part of not trying to hide it was that meant Grant didn't have to be fooled by it either; he doesn't like what he's hearing and is bristling at hearing someone try to sell this mentality. Given his literal worst nightmare is being rich and selfish, it makes sense he'd be pretty conscious of it from someone.

I know Grant's Mom can sometimes come off as kinda awful, but I like giving her little moments that does show that for as selfish and materialistic as she is she does care about her son. She can tell he's uncomfortable in the fourth panel and pulls him away, and afterward she does compliment him for doing it.

I was a little nervous leaning into the horse thing with Colt, but guess it makes sense and was a fun gimmick to make the character stand out a little bit more. I wish I'd had time to put some more decorations and whatnot in his office; it's pretty barren here. But I was having a bit of mental health problem earlier tonight and wound up a little rushed for time on the page as a result. Better now.

.....

Heh. Well. I guess that's all the noticeable things to talk about for this page. ^_^

This one was actually really late to come together, though I think it worked out well regardless. Kind of a mix of being the second half of the previous page before we cut it down as well as new content, though moreso the latter; decision was kind of made to retool some of how this was going to be approached and think it works out for the better for it.

Kind of a difficult page to comment on for me, though might be the fact I'm doing it at a point when I really should just go to bed, but either way do hope that everyone enjoys.

She's no mother of the year and never will be one but at least she does care, oh sure decide not to talk about the lady in the last panel.

He certainly sounds like Doug Dimmadome. All the horse puns though. I want to kick him in teeth. XD
