Ok so this is the big apology post for making it 12 pages into a smut comic without any lewd stuff, now that we're finally here. Even stories like these, I think, benefit from traditional storytelling techniques like build up and pay off, a three act structure or giving the protagonist a character arc.
Point is, now that I've spent 12 pages setting stuff up, it's time to start paying it off.
Not much to say about this page in particular other than I didn't know what weight to put on that barbell. 4pl8 (180kg) not a lot for someone that's been doing powerlifting for decades, but still on the range where you really should use a belt, especially if you're cautious about your health as Suarez is, so that's a small inconsistency. That or the dude is such a powerhouse that he can deadlift that weight for reps with no belt. Regardless it's more than enough to work up a sweat, which I'm sure plenty of you will consider a plus in the next couple pages.
