Just the idea of them trying to figure out what a DS is makes me smile

From:


(New art idea :D) 

WIP of 'Vanity'

Yes! I'm finally working on it (https://planetmenahat.blogspot.com/2024/12/comic-script-vanity.html)

This first panel seems chill; they're just doing research for the boss. Beht seems to be the only one interested, though.
I mean, he is canonically interested in ancient history. Maybe he and Neal would get along in this respect, if it weren't for the whole kidnapping scheme xD

Scrapped panel:
I just didn't want to bother with the close perspective of the table objects, I came here to make a quick slice-of-life comic and not to do any studies xd
'm starting to get how to draw Dyrus's damn face. Literally Cyrus without that little goatee he has. I don't even know why he has a pipe, I just feel like he would smoke one.

This is just the start of the scene, the rest of the strip will be set in a different location. But it will be in a similar nature to an old comic I made (2021): https://choccoscomics.blogspot.com/2021/03/gorrik-gets-coffee-spectrobes-fan-comic.html (where it focuses on the actions of one guy at the front while the other two talk behind him)

COMIC SCRIPT: Vanity

INT. DYRUS'S OFFICE - DAY

Zig, Beht and Gorrik research old books and take handwritten notes. Zig looks up. Dyrus signs paperwork. 

ZIG: I gotta go. You two, cover for me.

Zig strides to the bathroom.

Gorrik and Beht wait around. Gorrik brightens up and runs to Dyrus.

GORRIK: Oh, Boss, Boss!

DYRUS: What now?

GORRIK: May I please catch a bathroom break! I'm busting! I gotta do the number one!

DYRUS: Wh- Ya don't even have to ask! Just GO!

GORRIK: Thank you, thank you, thank you, SIR!

Gorrik runs to the bathroom. Beht waits around. 

BEHT: Hey Boss, I'm going too, I'll be back.

Beht walks to the bathroom.

DYRUS: ... What in the...


INT. MENS ROOM

Beht looks into the mirror. Gorrik is at the urinals.

Beht removes his head accessories. First his hat. Behind him, Zig exits the stall, who sees him and  then Gorrik.

SFX: Flushh...

Beht removes his goggles.

ZIG: (To Gorrik) Are ya kiddin' me?! I thought I told y'all to cover!

Beht removes his mask.

GORRIK: Sorry! I just REALLY needed to go!

Beht starts washing his face

ZIG: Then, what's Beht doin'?!

BEHT: ...Gimme a sec.

Beht dries his face with his mask.

ZIG: "A sec", huh? (To Gorrik) I swear, it's every mornin', noon and evenin' with this bull.

GORRIK: Yeah, why does he do that? That's just baloney! 

 Beht unties his ponytail and takes out a comb.

ZIG: I couldn't agree more. We're always runnin' late 'cause of his antics!

Beht starts combing his hair.

GORRIK: Oh, really? I was worried that it's because I sleep through the alarm.

Beht ties his hair back up again.

ZIG: Oh nah, don't act like you ain't part of the reason too. 

Beht takes out a bottle from his pocket and sprays it into his mouth.

ZIG: But, at least you got a sense of urgency.

GORRIK: Oh! Note taken!

Beht begins coughing.

ZIG/GORRIK: Ah! Beht!

Beht spits out his cough.

GORRIK: Are you okay?!

Beht sprays himself with the same bottle of cologne.

BEHT: I'm fine.

Beht takes out a bottle of mouth spray and sprays it into his mouth.

GORRIK: What about you, Zig? Are you ever the reason we're late?

ZIG: HAHAHAHA! Catch me dead!

Beht throws a mint into his mouth.

ZIG: Seriously? A mint?!

BEHT: Shush.

Beht puts his mask back on.

ZIG: Dammit, who's he tryin'a impress?!

GORRIK: Hmm... Maybe it's the boss. Speaking of which, I should fix myself up for him, too! Presentability is key!

ZIG: Aw, c'mon now. Sure we gotta be our best, but this is just overkill.

Beht puts on his goggles.

BEHT: Done.

ZIG: Finally!

Beht puts on his hat and leaves.

GORRIK: Aw man! Now I'm worried that I stink!

ZIG:  No time! Let's get outta here now before the boss goes jumpin' mad!

GORRIK: Oh yeah! Of course! Let's go!
