Art Notes: Beautiful - are you sure?

"......YOUR MORE BEUTIFULL THAN I THOUGHT"

One of the first attempts to extol Leia's beauty! 9 or 10 year old boys really don't have much of an appreciation of the opposite sex's charms do they? Actually I DID have a couple of Farrah pinups even when I was 8 - but to try to depict that beauty would be just a bit cissy! I did make one concession though. See the lipstick there? So there's something else that one can use the colour red for. You know, other than bloodbaths!

Film Notes: Why is there a cement mixer here?

"Why do I suddenly look weird?"

Poor Mark Hamill looked weird in this scene - in the film. His hair's all girly and he seems to have suddenly got this odd thick orange tan that contrastingly increases the luminosity of his blue eyes. It might be a make-up blunder - he's wearing more than Carrie Fisher - did he have a sudden acne break-out? - was he sun-burnt after shooting in Tatooine? Looks a bit skinnier too. He delivers a great line though. I bet he found it hard to keep a straight face! Careful Mark - it'll crack!

Thanks for reading! Care to comment?

Thanks John.
Thanks for wiping out my memories of strange sensations when I saw Leia being all flirty and stuff in the prison block. Now she looks like the Big Momma of the prison block.
:D

At least you made the storm trooper look short in the first panel. :-)

As for Leia, ah I've been drunk enough to date her at times. ;-)

JOHN!

That's 5 days off, without prior permission from me, do I have to dock your already miserable salery?

Fine your SWage9 artistic stipend has just been cut by 14%. Don't make me take away your company car, and dental plan too.

Anxoiusly looking foreward to another laugh;
T.
