* This cartoon was the sketch which broke the cartoonist's back (almost literally). I spent two determined hours hunched over my desk trying to get Ol's pose in panel four right, but as a result ended up suffering a week of mild back pain. For months afterwards, if I spent too long sitting in one position and then took a deep breath, I got a little 'pop' or a 'click' in a muscle halfway up my back. To avoid another debacle like this, I then signed up for a life-drawing course...which was promptly cancelled due to low demand. Considering that I was left with no drawing skills and a clicking back, I really hope you fell off your chair laughing at this cartoon (but didn't hurt your back in the process, obviously).
