graphic novel progress five years ago

There have been a lot of false starts but I finally feel like it's getting somewhere. I'm doing this long chat show sequence because I think it'll be the easiest to draw and hopefully then I'll have worked up the chops to take on the harder stuff. I'm enjoying this now. My plan at the moment is to scan this in and photoshop greys into the background so it's more like TV (whereas most of the time it'll just be black and white, no grey).

The line was actually supposed to be 'It cuts at my skin like tiny piranha teeth you shits!' But I was hoping to find a way to make it one of those things, in the days of live television, where you wondered if someone swore but you weren't sure, it was indistinct. Well I don't know how to make that happen here.

I'm pretty pleased with the audience picture.

Would live TV have been on a seven second delay like live radio interviews where the producer could insert a sound to cover up swear words or cut transmission if anything happened that they couldn't broadcast? In this case rendered like "...you **BEEP**". Although I guess that would make it obvious there was a sweary. Maybe "...you **UNEXPECTED SILENCE**"?
