Before the usual commentary for the page, an important issue, Patreon has just changed how posts are made and I no longer have the option to attach non-image files, I'm not sure how many people like to download them to take a peek at how the hotdog is made or something, but please let me know if that's something that matters to you and I'll try to find a workaround.
I had intended for the professors to cheat in fun ways but this whole peeking under the table bit wasn't in the original script for the comic, I came up with it around the time page 20 was done. It's very shower thought-y. That's an advantage of working ahead, it helps organize your ideas better. Originally Suarez was just going to hold Walter in a princess carry position for this hand, to drive home the "NOW he's acting possessive?" thing, but that would have made him holding the cards very difficult to draw, and I wanted there to be some escalation with the horny antics. This is more fun. And I get to draw armpit stuff, so, that's always a plus.
I struggled a bit with the diagram because you have to show 1) Horacio's line of sight under the table and 2) Walter's bulge in between him and Suarez, both on a single 2d plane. I'm thinking now that I could have done a POV shot from Horacio's perspective, but pulling up a diagram (non-diegetically of course) feels funnier, like this is some asspull move in a shonen anime that requires the author to go on a tangent to explain.
