My comment below is purposefully vague-ish, but talks about something from later in the comic, for those of you reading who haven’t finished the chapter. Just an FYI.

In re-reading the chapter again (as you recommended at the final page), I must say that I love panel three and the volumes it speaks in retrospect. Knowing your attention to detail and careful planning, I’m sure it was deliberate and makes me love the comic even more.

Use the washroom? After he has his gloves on?

He’s cynical and suspicious. Those are virtues in a monarch.

You’re doing well. Congratulations!

Well.. i’ve always considered “…” as something which should be used. I mean, looking on that comparison made by Link Man – it looks like “sigh” on Phe’s side. While with bubble it looks like “Oh, you’ll suffer for this later…”. I don’t know why it is so. Maybe cause of personal experience with that “…” ? ^^
Best regards.

I laugh a little inside my head whenever I see Luca, now, knowing his name.
My great grandfather moved from Italy to the US as a small boy. The name of the town he was from…? Luca.

Ah :B When I think of the name Luca I always think of Luca Brasi from the Godfather… he was pretty badass himself.

Thanks for the comparison! I dunno, personally I still like it better with the bubble there. Maybe I just don’t like all that space, haha. Once the whole chapter is done I will reread and see how it looks in context, maybe by then I will have a different perspective on how the th whole thing should flow.

Luca Blight has been considered one of the most evil villains of all time in video game history and is the main antagonist of Suikoden II.

I don’t know, I did a quick mock-up without the bubble:

Honestly, the eyes say a lot more than the speech bubble.

That’s a fair question. I actually drew the panel first without any speech bubble, then addd it in… from experience, I think the transition doesn’t work as well without some kind of visual/ written cue that there is a silence there. Without the elipses is could be interpreted as a pause between chunks of dialogue.
