GC#4, page 47 complete — just before Earl

Working quite hard over the last 2 days, I have finally finished page 47. Ripe with a plethora of effects and detail, this page took a hell of a lot more work than I had anticipated. Just looking at the Photoshop file confirms this, with 87 layers total. Panel 2 — which this preview is from — was 23 layers alone, and took me about 5-6 hours to complete. Luckily, Hurricane Earl is looking to just brush my area (tropical storm strength, 2-3 inches rain, 30-50 mph winds), and thus, my storm-prep time was kept down, allowing more time for "grOw"!

Enjoy the preview! I am also including an updated "issue map", which I have reformatted so as to portray the "halfway" mark more legibly.

    That's quite the butt. I wonder how much bigger (if at all) it gets?

    Earl was merciful and turned away from us, thanks. Still working on page 48, though going a little slow due to "rl" work. Hard to say when the next update will be — Wed or Thur.
