I end up designing a lot of outfits for my comics, which is lots of fun, but every once in a while I’ll come up with one that I like more than the others, but I’ve used it on a character we’re not going to see more than once. That’s the case with this woman’s outfit. It’s a very Maida style look and I should have saved it for her. But it wasn’t until I coloured it that I decided how much I liked it, and by that point it was too late.

Panel 1: From the sidewalk below where Maida and Tahmaseb sit, a woman in a head wrap and a stylish black and white dress with a "safety" arm band looks up at them crossly. Woman: "What are you doing up there! Get down!"
Panel 2: Tahmaseb, not moving: "Just admiring the view, Ma'am! It's lovely up here." Woman: "Admiring each other, more like! Clear off before I contact your parents!"
Panel 3: Tahmaseb, quietly: "That would be quite a trick for eivver of us." Woman, off-panel: "What was that?"
Panel 4: Tahmaseb: "I'm finished here. Let's go."
Panel 5: Tahmaseb and Maida get up from the billboard support they were sitting on. There is a construction scaffold right next to them. The woman looks up, still cross. Maida: "Alright! We're coming down."
Panel 6: Maida reaches the ground while Tahmaseb follows her down the scaffold. Tahmaseb: "Have a nice day!" Woman: "Devils!"
