    There’s a lot covered in this one panel – such a major dialogue on an immense topic. but somehow their expressions are perfect for the whole exchange. Sadly, I think I agree with his friend, at least in terms of life. Space is still kind of fascinating though :) Your use of shadows is excellent!

      Thanks Ian. I admittedly did struggle to get all that dialogue in there and have it all read properly. Eventually, I just went for a simple, down the middle approach.
