In order for this comic to be 24 pages long, we have to use the backs of the pages. It's alright, though. The marker bleeds through, which I guess is almost perfect for analyzing the page layouts, which are important especially in this comic where I experimented with them quite a bit. It's especially convenient because the marker is used not only for the panel borders but also with this unique technique where the marker is used for some outlines, making the edges bleed into the drawing. It gives this sort of exotic '70s feel and helping draw attention to what needs to be emphasized. I guess that only having 12 pages is a sort of blessing in disguise.
See, look, here, the outlining helps give a sense of depth to the streets of Armadillotown and to the बड़ा दालान, where it looks like it's going deeper beyond the swinging doors. The map of the Old West, and on the bottom row of panels where the guy walking there transverses the panels.
