As always with this comic, the art says so much if not all that needs to be said. Her distance in the middle panel struck me first which brought me back to the rather frustrated looking partner in the first who seems to be saying words she is not paying any attention to, and then of course the flushing of the loo to say it's over followed by the washing him off.
I just wonder how long their relationship has been going on like this.
PS: The water flushing in the bowl is very mesmerising! I looked at that panel for way too long! lol
Once again, your observations are spot on: I try to build as much storytelling with visuals as I can "A picture is word a thousand words". In this case, many pictures. Silence is very precious for me in my comics, and if I have the chance to do an impactful scene that uses silence as part of the narrative, I will!
I am glad you liked that effect, I try a lot of different brushes/techniques until I found that one that I thought was good enough :3
Speaking of relatable experiences, I have to go back to the grind before my buffer runs out lol.
