Outclassed - page 6 - WIP & PSD

So we have made the full transition from a comic set in university to a comic set in a gym which is a setting I personally prefer and opens up more jokes, which I intend to fully take advantage of with the next couple pages.

First of all everyone I've shown this page to fucking loves the rhino and that's a happy accident. If you look at the rough draft I intended to have an uninterested receptionist but as I was about to draw it I decided to go with something different.

I don't know how many people will get the Rich Piana joke in this panel. It's an affectionate parody more than anything, I highly recommend looking up his videos, the guy was really entertaining to watch. The 8 hour arm workout is a real thing.

As for the Miles cameo, he's only going to appear on this one page and that's it, I figured it was a fun way to limit access to the squat racks (along with PTs flirting with female gymgoers while they do 30 rep sets with the empty bar which GOD DAMMIT LADY THE AEROBICS SECTION IS RIGHT THERE) and also builds on a joke from a previous strip.

I'm not satisfied with the way the shading looks here, maybe I'll touch it up before this goes public next week.
