As always, sketches! Panel 3 has notes for a more ambitious angle I ended up ditching. I'm also including extra rough sketches of the final panel, which I was really struggling with; Alex helped a ton with that, it wouldn't have turned out as active without his help.

Also including my sketches, and the two cheerleaders in panel 3 that got blurred and partially obscured; not sure why I ended up drawing them fully, but I may as well share them.

and as usual, the sketches! not much got changed with this one

And as usual, the sketches! A lot of small changes here - the originally nondescript characters at the seminar became webtoon character cameos (Alex had suggested it for comics months ago but there was never a good outlet before now), final punchline ended up reworded, the usual types of things.

As usual, here are the sketches as well! Also including an alternate version that only shares a final panel - Alex and I both decided the one with the vaguest hint of a "story" was more interesting.

The first three panels are callbacks to my older art styles - I don't feel like I have the original look quite right, but it's close enough. Instead of the usual strip sketch, I figured my references for the older styles with those sketches would be more interesting. - Coleslaw

and as usual, the sketch to go with it
