Outclassed 2 - Page 42 (WIP)

Added 2025-10-18 15:05:22 +0000 UTC

I'm throwing in a little production extra now that we have certainty that the game will conclude with this last hand: I hardly expect anyone to keep track of this but I have been consistently drawing the number of chips every professor would have throughout the comic (and you can see in previous WIP pages I had the number of chips everyone would have next to each pile).

It's a bit of a wasted opportunity to squeeze some extra drama out of the game, like Suarez looking at how little chips he had remaining and going for one of the more meta plays we've seen up until now, but I'm not too concerned about it since the focus has stayed on showcasing all the sexy stuff and plot twists. You can tell I started from "who wins which hand" as the priority with the number of chips being secondary to that, hence that little X on the spreadsheet marking the initial number of chips (Suarez starts out with one less).

I figured having Walter and Alfonso blurred on the foreground while Suarez and Horacio have their discussion on the background would make for a cool panel composition I haven't done yet, it did however make it very tricky to avoid tangents on the latter two but I did manage.
