I’ve discovered the secret to happiness. The secret to happiness is making other people happy. Fictional people. Like Tiny.
I don’t know about you, but when I draw faces, I unintentionally make the faces I’m drawing. Not only do I have a mirror over my desk so that I can draw expressions from reference but, for some reason, my face also maps to the mood of my subject. Must be like how wifey tells me that she knows when I’m writing dialogue because my head bobs like C-3PO as I imagine voices and their inflection.
When I draw a strip like this, where Tiny is overcome with gratitude for his new situation, it involves a couple hours of me grinning, tittering and generally swelling with Tiny’s newfound joy that the world doesn’t have to be the way he thought it was.
So that’s the secret – make your hero happy.First, of course, you must abuse them terribly.
I don’t know why but that part’s fun too. Probably because I’m a bad person.

I think this may be my favorite, though it’s a tough call between this one and the one with the guys shooting arrows from the trees. The reason why it ranks so high? The “Heeee” in the first scene. I love the face and the dialogue; it’s just so ludicrously happy.
Likin’ it, Jackson, I’m likin’ it!
