JAVA JAGUAR (a webcomic)
by Matt S. Law (a webcomic creator)
Happy Thursday!
Sorry about the Java Jaguar delay... I'll even make up that missed strip from last week soon. I just got back to southern California after taking 3 Spirit Airline flights from Florida across the country yesterday. And I can't draw on the tiny little tray tables on the small Spirit jet's, they aren't big enough for a tablet. Also, there was a lot of turbulence, possibly from that hurricane that attacked Jamaica, no doubt hurting their chances of hosting a winning bobsled team this year. Also, I slept most of the time on all three flights.
Golden Sphinx is doing his villain monologue which is when the heroes should be attempting some sort of ninja plan. But they have elected instead for banter. For those of you that have played the KICKMAN adventure game for PC (yes this is a real thing), this sort of synonym attack was a big part of Kickman and Sidekick Matt's debut superhero fight against Count Mole. So if we are accepting that Barista Matt is Sidekick Matt's origin story, then we can assume that Matt learned not just many parkour and fighting skills from Java, but also his banter and taunt proficiency.
Wait... I'm sorry, what?
I've just been corrected, I called "The Golden Sphinx" just "Golden Sphinx" in a preceding paragraph. My apologies.
Boilerplate:
JAVA JAGUAR is a webcomic based on the true story of a talking jaguar cub found in a coffee shop. Yes, I said based on the true story. Java Jaguar is produced by the nomadic cartoonist, Matt S. Law, on his mobile art studio consisting of Clip Studio Paint Pro on a Microsoft Surface Pro 7+.

Created in Clip Studio Paint Pro on a Surface Pro 4. Here is the time lapse video.
Do you struggle to keep up with all your own characters? I assume you have an archive of reference images to keep them consistent plus some notes on their characteristics.
There's some wild weather going on. I feel for those who are in the path of it.
I usually just pull up an old comic if I need to reference what an old character looks like. Especially when coloring, I can just sample colors from an old image.
I haven't checked in on Jamaica since early yesterday, hopefully it wasn't as bad as they were expecting.
