Nigel kept his eye patches far longer into the comic than Marcus did; finally I got rid of them and added a "blaze" in his forehead, and converted his hair to the DiCaprio/Simba part-in-the-middle that I think looks so gosh-darn cute.
Note that I was trying my damnedest to find excuses to add little atmospheric elements from my own college experiments, like comic strips and editorials tacked to doors and taped to walls. I wish there'd been more opportunities to exploit the transoms above the doors, too—I can vouch for there being plenty of comic relief in the real-life ones in my dorm. Think flinging a handful of superballs in through the opening late at night...
