The Long Hall series (weeks 7-8)

One of the following comics might not have been published.
Not much to say about these.  This one was originally going to be implicably PG-13.  I don't really care to explain that, and I most certainly won't explain online.
Overall, this one is supposed to tie into the drawing that Little Johnny made during therapy of Dr. Milkcowski.  He was initially frightened of Dr. Spot because she is white with black spots, as Milkcowski is.  I don't think I explained it very well in the comics.  In comic strip format, it's really difficult to get the storytelling just so.
You may notice a difference between the spot pattern on Milkcowski's head between panel 3 and panel 4.  the extra spots were experimental and won't be used again.  The same is true of the three little spots between Spot's ear and the spot on top of her head.
I'm still not sure how to draw a cow lying down.  I may have to get visual references.

I think the top one works better than the bottom. The pun in the top one is funny and your drawing is a bit more clean and overall consistent. The pun in the bottom one is a bit stale and your panels are a bit crowded and overall not as clean. The spot inconsistency on Milkcowski is apparent and, even should you not continue a certain pattern for a character further, I would suggest you remain uniform within the panels of a single strip. You don't want to have a somewhat jolting Charlie Brown Christmas tree effect.
