So worth it.
First off, I think the character’s backstories make the smut so much better. I can see the argument that the word balloons might block too much of the art, but really I prefer to have the dialogue to inform the characters’ thoughts and emotions.
Both these characters are also well-developed, and we can easily understand their motives, particularly the trials of loving someone who is quick-tempered and slow to forgive. I felt kind of whipsawed by Ramon’s “calling,” as I’m not at all sure how to relate to it. I’m just relieved it worked out (Fate?).
I really appreciate the window into Miami culture. For a resident of North America, my Spanish is woefully deficient. Everyone should be able to manage some basics, like giving directions or ordering food. I was recently passed over for a job because another candidate was bilingual, and it was absolutely the correct decision. The way you did the Spanish word balloons was much better than the standard practice of putting English dialogue inside <brackets> to indicate a different language.
Finally, this is just an excellent comic in terms of how the layout captures the motions and perspectives to tell this story. The colors really make it pop, too. Your years of experience in drawing size-fantasy has really paid off here.
Bien hecho, chiquita!
