And here we meet Dr. DePantelones (which, in Spanish, means "The Doctor of Pants!"), played marvelously by my good friend Troy Smith. I'm a little disappointed at how this page turned out because I wanted to show more of his leg - but again, Erica was away and we were having difficulty switching out photographers with a 30lbs+ camera set-up. Your wrist starts to hurt after about 5+ hours of shooting, and that's about where we were here (hint: these photos were not taken in order).

Again, this shoot took a lot of coordination and hard work over the grueling (but very fun) 6+ hours that it took to do it. A lot of help went into it, and I appreciate everyone's contributions (of which, I will be recognizing towards the end of the story arc).

We just make this look easy. We're professionals.... ;)

Anyway, Troy was very enthusiastic when I told him about this role - and honestly didn't wear any pants during the entire shoot! He did, however, have on boxer-briefs. He was my first and only choice for this role, because I knew that he had the look and the energy required to play the part. Overall, I'm not disappointed with my casting choice at all. ;)

Also, if you guys have been digging the photo comic and haven't been following the 2008 Drunk Duck Awards (shame on you), then check out the Best Romantic Comic and Best Political / Editorial Comic presentations for a pleasant surprise. ;)
