Great piece, man! I love the silent storytelling.

Hey, thanks! I haven't done it in a while. Trying to be less obvious in my storytelling.

Pretend I'm dumb. The moral is don't peek cause it will turn out what you got is smaller than you thought?

Nice art, but I don't get it, is the boy disappointed because the toy is smaller than he was expecting? Sorry I'm probubly missing something simple :-P

[amandaferguson0]

I think he's bummed because he got the small cheaper doesn't-separate-into-the-lions version of Voltron instead of the big deluxe set.

Unless I'm missing something more obvious (which is possible; I know way too much about Voltron toys).

This one's not very clear to anyone who doesn't know the toys.

[9mmed]

Nope, my anonymous friend is right. It does help if you were more into the toys, but I got the "consolation prize" version of Voltron.

Part of me feels that if I hadn't peeked, at least one of the larger lions would be under there. This is Santa's karmic way of punishing children. ;)

I also don't understand why Eddie is disappointed. Voltron is in the package, so....?
