New B and Fang strip. Calling it strip 3.
OMG why do these take so long? Because I wring my hands and worry, etc. 
The roughs for this had 4 identical panels (identical to panel 3 here) and the text was "fang", "want" and then 3 and 4 like you see here.
There wasn't enough change in the story, not enough emotional flow. So I added the first panel (totally out of place from where I wanted to put that moment but whatever) and then condensed the rest into panel 2.  Adding a change of emotion and rhythm.
Ok, onward! Cheers!
