THE BLACK FIST 39 – Inside Baseball

I can’t quite put my finger on why, but I had a lot of fun with this week’s strip.

    “Governor Reagan”. Love the little details.

  2. It’s the product placement of popcorn. Now you just need to cut a deal with Orville Redenbacher to fund the movie and your set.

  3. MAS says:

    The contrast between the fine lines of Haworth’s face and the blockier background really works! It makes his face truly engaging.
    I bet if you told me about the concept before the execution I’d have said don’t do it, it’ll look “stuck on”…bold choice, well made!
    Loving these baseball scenes, good fun!

    Not to echo what others have said, but this is a gem of a strip.

    One thing, though: In the second panel, it looks like Pastor’s speech bubble has no “tail.”

  5. CaptAmerica says:

    I’m laughing at how Pastor’s mouth is jammed with popcorn in that second frame. heheheh.

  6. Mistah Pete says:

    Did you hit an old ballpark for reference here, or vintage photos? Surely this isn’t all from memory?

  7. Doug G says:

    I can’t quit looking at the third panel. Haworth’s face does, indeed, pop. And, I swear you need to start a WoH clothing line. I want that sweater, too.
