All Eighties, All the Time.

What better way to date your material than with topical Top 40 references? This is a cheap shot, one-off strip, loosely relying on characterization. I remember the most challenging aspect was to devise a convincing handwriting for each of the characters. "Keeping the Faith" most closely resembles my actual handwriting at the time. These days, of course, it's nearly illegible, as the keyboard has subsumed everything I used to do by hand. Well, almost everything. I still like the linework and the overall balance of this strip, particularly Patty's upper body in the last panel.
