Rawhide Vindaloo w/ Commentary, Page 17

   We are continuing our introduction to Shia LaBeouf's character, stepping out on a cow brothel (it's not explicitly stated in the comic, but yeah, that's what that is), which is full of cows in various stages of anthropomorphization. (Rawhide himself is the offspring of onesuch cow hooker and a photorealistic drawing of Jeff Bridges.) I drew that drawing of all the cow whores as an exploration of what the Rawhide Vindaloo universe would entail (yes, it was purely for research purposes, I swear!) and I cut and pasted it in there.

   There's a stagecoach being pulled by humans in the background of the last panel here. This, just like the train in the background on page nine, represents a vehicle in the background that had to be added later. There, it was because westerns need trains, and here, it's because westerns need stage coaches. I had forgotten both of those very essential things in the first draft going through, so I had to add where I could. This panel was simply the only space I had to fit such an item, which was kind of necessary because a stagecoach being pulled by non-sentient (feral?) humans illustrates the idiosyncrasies of this universe.

   Fun fact, too. Not only was that panel the only place to put that, it was the only place to put that: page 17 and page 9 are the only pages in which color appears, in both brown (in the vehicle, on both pages) and red (here, in the sign above Shia LaBeouf's character's head; on page 9, in the headshot of course.)
