"Rexach: A detective travels around the US (and other places), solving mysteries found in the background of photos sent to her."

That's the pitch I gave on Patreon some years ago, when I still had a Patreon! This was for a poll where patrons could help me decide which comic I should do as an exclusive Patreon-only comic (temporarily of course, as all Patreon comics are wont to be), so that way I could make headway on a story!

...Nobody voted, so uh. I ultimately just chose for myself and that was Rexach. It's very neat story if I may say so myself, and to do the whole Internet thing, it would have involved me writing the main character as Puerto Rican, whose last name comes from one of our poet laureates, Sylvia Rexach. There was no deeper meaning behind that, however, as I named it after the abandoned theater that carries her name. I always passed it anytime I went home from school: http://www.puertadetierra.info/edificios/cines/teatro_sylvia_rexach.htm

Here, the intent was to do test pages for the comic, because I really want to do at least one comic where it doesn't take me at least two years to do 5 pages :| I want to see if I can get over my need to do "proper" art on the pages and see if I can do not quick, but fast and understandable and loose pages. Rexach in my mind has a certain aesthetic look and I'd like to see if my experiment ideas fit. This all takes place in 1979 but because these are test pages, I didn't bother with historical accuracy for the fashion HAHA.

(more in replies below, this is already getting too long!)
