I was tempted to actually buy a big glass ball and take it to a beach to get the light refraction just right. But, I’d already spent way too many hours drawing this comic, and I think a little research into the science of light bending along with some creative liberties did the trick. Besides, what would I do with a big, heavy glass ball after that? Leave it on the floor for Josie (a cat) to roll around and play with?
Actually, that sounds pretty cute. How much are they on Amazon?
