Gaz Redemption AU comic - page 30

aka *presses fast forward on a lifetime of increasingly crippling problem gambling and debt to escape flashback land*

side commentary:
- sometime in the last couple of months i started stylizing his hair so much they stopped looking like greasy curls which is what they’re SUPPOSED to be and ended up looking like cute baby hair. We need… To go back. Put some more grease on this boy.
- I had the hardest time figuring a good way to depict Gaz’s gambling problem. I read up on it a lot but it still doesn’t really help translate in a comic. I did my best tho.
- On this subject: I feel kind of weird because so far i’ve depicted Red and Vathah as sort of beneficiaries of Gaz’s gambling problems - as this whole flashback is about, he’s REALLY unlucky and so they’re shown sort of making money over a crippling problem they’re aware of. 
And like, that feels really unfair to them… Kinda untrue too. In OB there’s a scene i thought was rly nice where Vathah puts his foot down and has them stop playing for real stakes despite Gaz’s insistence when he runs out of money. So that’s the type of guy he is. I will try to rectify in the next page.
