I don't blame you if you don't recognize this guy. He's TQ Cervelle from Com'c R-001. Last time he appeared, he was wearing his cap that said clearly who he was, but I couldn't justify him wearing it in the shower, especially since he's about to wash his hair. Thus, this is the first time someone who by default wears something on their head is also seen bareheaded.

This str'p was complicated (and as a result, late) in that it needed a bunch of new art. First there was TQ's hair, which is made from a section of his mustache (which he shares with Cal). Then there's the shower itself, particularly the head. You'd be amazed how tricky it is to draw a shower head, at least in this art style. I'm still not entirely pleased with the result, but I'll take it.

The shampoo bottle was originally green, but that made it too easy to miss in panel one, so I made it red. This had the curious side effect of making the right side of it look slightly wider than the left side for some reason. It might be related to how pixels work on the screen, I dunno.
