Surely, a mystery for the ages. Or just one for the next page.
I call pages like this "Grand Central Station pages," because I have to coordinate the interactions and expressions of more than three or four characters at a time. That can get overwhelming. Crowd scenes are fine, since those are just strangers. But pages like this are full of characters people know, or are going to get to know. Requires more. So, I can usually be heard muttering "Grand Central fucking Station." while I'm inking and coloring stuff like this. Aren't I dainty.
Y'know, I should stick up a "The story so far" synopsis page for this comic, with CBR downloads of chapters (Or rather, the one complete chapter so far) and summaries. That's probably important for comics like this one, with long-term plots. But that'll have to wait until I at least get Scip on the cast page. Poor guy.
While toning today's page, I got some Sprite up my nose. The drink, not the creature. To my credit, I didn't scream.
Honestly, I'm still surprised that Scip is straight. I mean, he doesn't act like it, and the whole "penis disintegration dream" comment made me think otherwise.
Or maybe it's a future plot point!
Nobody would think less of you if you had screamed. That hurts like nobody's business.
what, you mean you've never met a sweet, gentle, auto-castrated big straight dude in your life?
Then what ARE they talking about? 'cuz right about now I'm expecting Reagan to ask Ben if he's ever been part of a family before :)
What's going to drive me nuts for the week is trying to figure out who that last text bubble in the corner belongs to.
Anyway, this is my first post, but I've been reading for a bit. I have to say this is one of the best webcomics or even just stories in general I've ever read, good job.
They're not talking about what I think they're talking about? I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to think they're talking about, 'cept it apparently involves blood somehow. Oooo. wait. This wouldn't be about "you damn well know what", would it?
Anyway, I'm still chuckling over "Supermandingo" from the other day.
I don't think you need a summary or guide. People will be interested, then click on "first" and away they go.
I don't really care for written guides in general; they make concrete interpretations which sometimes prevent me from making my own based on the more subtle artwork.
jesus, comics philosophy on monday morning. where's my coffee.
I heard George W. Bush is headlining the "Monsters of Democracy" Tour this year. I bet tix are hell to get hold of!
You know damn well what!
Yea, that.
I was looking at the sketchbook pages lately...
I'm thinkin' that bubble might be Gene. It's in his font...
And MP, you wouldn't be thinking of C12-H26 would you?
You mean:
Dodecane \Do"de*cane\, n. [Gr. ? twelve.] (Chem.)
Any one of a group of thick oily hydrocarbons, C12H26, of
the paraffin series.
Ionan: Funny you should mention that.
...
Yup.
