Damn You, Lawrence!!

Hi Hi.  

Yes.  Too long since last post.  Yes, I'm supposed to be on vacation and what am I doing not drawing this comic every day and getting it done like I said I would.  Ok, ok.  Complaint noted.  But lookit this... three pages!!!

OK!  Well, I think the action is really good here and quite clear, but looking at it I think I could have made it a bit more obvious that Fancy flew past / through the wreckage on page 23's middle panel.  Even adding a "Whoosh" sound effect would have helped.

The drawings are pretty solid, the weakest being the last on page 123 at the bottom right. 

So, as you may know this thing is taking WAAAAAYYYY too long to draw.  Nearly two years, I think, and as you know, it's twisted and turned in ways I haven't expected, but those turns have made the story more interesting and unexpected (I think).  Yes, it probably needs a re-write and some of those twists unkinked and some others added.  But to my original point, it's taking too long and over the past few weeks I've been quite dis-interested in the story.  But the great thing is, by posting these pages, I'm a bit re-inspired, even if the dialogue and the repeated use of "Damned you, Lawrence" is a bit tired!

Glad you're with me in this journey, and yes, kids... we're almost there!

  1. YOU'RE BACK! YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!

    You deserve a break, of course, but don't do that to me again. I need my Fancy Fix!

    These pages were worth waiting for. Big action -- and very nicely drawn!

    I don't like the "gasp"on page 2 and I kinda think it should be "God damn you, Lawrence", not all past-tensey, the way you have it now.

    But those are picky details.

    The big thing is that you're back and the story is looking great. ESPECIALLY the last panel on the last page. I don't know why you don't like that one -- it's easily my favourite. (I also love what it's showing us -- Fancy and Lawrence in a death spiral -- about to talk things out as they rush to certain doom. Cool!)

    And -- don't you DARE get tired of this story. Keep it coming! I'm HOOKED!
