The Flatjack Incident (2022 version)

I dug up one of my old comics and tried adding color to it. I think it turned out swell! “The Flatjack Incident” was drawn and printed in 2009 in pen, but the digital colors were added in Procreate yesterday. This is based on a true story that took place during the first day of the Mediocre Tour, a nerdcore rap tour I did with Beefy and MC Router.

The cover of the Flatjack Incident comic. It shows a closeup of a stack of brown pancakes, covered in butter and syrup, on a table. Behind them is an excited person with their mouth open and smiling, like they are excited to see pancakes.
Page 1 of the Flatjack Incident comic. The first panel shows someone lifting a flaming car in order to save a baby. The text says "Sometimes ordinary people can find the extraordinare strength to overcome disastrous events. This is the story of what happened to me at a Denny's". The next panel shows me and my friends at a booth, waiting for food. The text says "I had just ordered. I wish my meal came with pancakes." The next panel shows our server delivering two big plates of food on our table, the server says "Here your Grand Slam & your pancakes." In the next panel, I say "Woot!" as I start pouring syrup onto my pancakes. The last panel on this page is a close up as I cut into the delicious pancakes.
Page 2 of the Flatjack Incident comic book. In the first panel, the server comes back to booth and tells me "Oops, I'm sorry, I made a small mistake. Your meal doesn't include pancakes. Those are someone else's. I'm sorry." In the next few panels are a close up of my face as I go from surprised to confused, to angry. The text says "Time... Stood... Still.. We've probably all wondered what we would do in this same situation. My body was paralyzed. I was out of ideas. Suddenly I felt my muscles tense and my instincts kick in as I..." The final panel is me staring at server as I lift up a knife towards him.
Page 3 of the Flatjack Incident comic (the final page). In the first panel I hunch forward and slam my face into the plate of syruped pancakes with a giant "Wham!" sound. The text says "... slammed my face into the pacakes." The next panel shows my friends staring in shock and horror at me, as I still have my face planted into a giant stack of pancakes. The server is seen from behind. In the next panel the server says "I'll just get aonther order" as he looks at my syrup covered face. I look back at him sternly. In the final panel the text says "teh winner!" as I finally take my first bite of a pancake. I'm smiling as syrup drips from my glasses and beard.
