This concludes this storyline and we are back to the regular schedule. Meaning the next episode will be posted next weekend.

I am not very fond of religion as you might noticed. But I do like horror-flicks and -books based on catholic mythology. Did you ever read The Bible? Well, I started and have to say there are a lot of interesting stories in there. But very poorly written.

That leads us to “The Exorcist” I mentioned in this episode of bITTER!. I realised that a lot of people out there know but had not watched this film. So, I dare you to watch this scene I am referring to. But be aware: it might be… disturbing.

Not much to say about this episode.

See you next weekend.

See panel one? That is the establishing shot I was talking about a few posts back. Here I started to pay a bit more attention to the backgrounds. Not very happy with the colour palette though.

Oh.. and next episode? Wednesday. 27 October.

As you might noticed I tried a different kind of outlines in this episode. More dirty and sketch-like. But I dumped that idea for the next episode already. Didn’t work.

And although the majority of comments on episode #4 spoke against the exclamation-marks-in-a-box… I will hold on to them.

See you again this weekend.

This story actually happened to a good friend of mine. And I impudently used it for this comic. And it sparked the idea for the next four episodes. Thank you Hannes.

As this kicks of a five part story-arc I will, again, do mid-week postings. Meaning the next episode will be posted on Wednesday, 20 October.

On art: This is the last episode I had drawn the lineart on paper and the first I did 100% digitally. “What?” you ask. And rightly so. But yeah, I used pen and paper, scanned the inked lineart, did the layout… and threw away everything and redid the whole comic with my wacom tablet. Almost exactly as I did it on paper. I assume I had a pretty good reason for doing so. I just can’t remember what reason that might have been.
