Oh, you're not slow. You're not the only one who needed a second read. :)
I decided not to give too many clues or spell it out too obviously for people -it was part of the fun. I sincerely hope people got the pun though! hehehehe. I so hate puns, you'd not believe how much. It's shocking I came up with it as a theme. But this first attempt has helped me see the power of comics, so it won't be my only attempt. I'm just so busy wanting to finish my novel, I don't have enough time to explore graphical elements. I'm inspired now to do some drawing for my other projects. Thanks so much for the motivation! <3
:D I'm glad that you got inspired to follow this art medium :) we'll be waiting for you here you have time to join more comic contests :)
