Panel 1: A bar interior with a muscular, red-haired man in a green and orange suit, labeled 'BT', wiping a mug behind a dark wooden bar. To his right, a blonde man in a green t-shirt is slumped over the bar, looking dejected. Three other patrons are seated further down the bar: one in a red and blue superhero suit, one in a white tank top, and one with spiky black hair smoking a cigarette.

Panel 2: A close-up of the red-haired bartender, smiling broadly and holding a frothing beer mug in one hand and a rag in the other. He is still wearing his green and orange suit with 'BT' on the chest.

Panel 3: The bar scene continues. Sebastian is now sitting upright at the bar, talking animatedly. Captain Righteous in his red and blue suit, a man in a white tank top (Mark), and a man with spiky black hair (Alex) are looking at Sebastian. A fourth patron in a blue and yellow suit is visible further down the bar, with his back mostly to the viewer.

Panel 4: Outside the bar at night. A neon sign above the doorway reads 'CAPES', and a smaller sign below it says 'NO SIDEKICKS'. The bartender, still in his green and orange suit, is forcefully throwing Sebastian out of the doorway. Sebastian is airborne, screaming, wearing his green t-shirt and blue jeans.

Any Club That Would Have Me

I had Sam Malone with a huge gut in mind for the Bartender. I like how Alex posed him with his beer belly sticking out over his underwear…er, superhero shorts. I think he ends up looking a bit like Conan O’Brien let himself go, but it definitely works. The “No Sidekicks” sign that Alex added reminds me of a Tick episode. Makes me almost want him to go back and draw Arthur sitting forlornly on his haunches by the door.
