So at some point in Citrus!, we learn that dear Nate was around circa 1895, selling newspapers. It's quite the good thing, for several reasons, but in any case, I've ben wating to draw him like that for quite some time, because boys in suspenders are cute like that.

So last night, while chatting with my girlfriend, I was just generally playing with pencil and paper to keep that part of my mind occupied, and came up with the pose for this. And just kept running with it.

The look on his face desurved some speak. It really did.

Small bit of irony here. I wanted him in a newsboy cap, obviously, so I was looking about for pictures of how a newsboy cap looks while on a live head. Felt my hair coming out of my hat, reached up to readjust it— and realised that I was wearing my newsboy cap. *Facepalm*
