I've posted these in a few places (Tumblr/G+/my comic's site) but I should post them here as well:

These are Brilliant. I especially loved the scowl at the phone during the 11 am hour. So good.

I love the style of these, and a seemingly boring day is made interesting to read!

I kind of really love the use of yellow as a shadow, unexpected but the final result looks really nice.

Thanks for your kind words!

I tell you the secret behind why I use yellow for shading: I started doing it so I could scan in art with bluelines, black ink, and shading, do a CMYK separation, and retain the black as linework and yellow as shading.

Usually I then change the color in Photoshop, but that's too much to do during hourly comics say, so I leave it yellow.
