This most important poll of the year should open on Tuesday… Santa Hats are at stake. We’ll see if we get something unusual or the predictable…
The cars in this world tend to look a specific card in our world frequently, but I wouldn’t put much thought into that. A common way things are drawn these days are to use 3d models as reference – a great deal of comics and things rather extensively use 3d models to reference rooms, objects, and even characters. I almost never do (which is probably obvious) but cars are pretty much the only thing I do (as is also probably equally obvious). The drawing program I tend to use doesn’t have sophisticated support for it, but I have that 3d model for it, so lots of cars are loosely outlined via one particularly brand of cars.

Those two are a TERRIBLE influence on each other.
I look forward to seeing the smoking remains of the consequences 🙂
The question now, is there really a family mage problem requiring all law enforcement hands on deck? Or did Mium decide he needed to be more aggressive than a “Do Not Interrogate | Interrupt” warning on Kally’s ID?
With sufficient scheming on Peter/Mium’s part, it could be BOTH….
Eh, now that you’ve pointed it out, that DOES seem the most likely scenario, doesn’t it? Is it almost time to revisit the Consul assassination team? Perhaps they’ve found themselves in hot water?
In panel seven-typo?: that “means” family mages
Kally definitely wants to have a race.
“Your ideas are bad. Tell me more.”
Three pages back: “…before Kally gets up and gets herself into some sort of trouble….it sounds like the Kally situation is mitigated for the time being”. Of course, that may be a Peter definition of trouble, not a normal person definition.
In Panel 3: I wonder what “miuse” means?
If this seems condescending, it is not, I really have no idea what it means.
typo I assume – Misuse
Fixed, thanks 🙂
I guess “miuse” is “misuse”
“miuse” is an ancient Malsan word meaning “to use inappropriately”.
Have you considered investing in a bucket full of Hot-Wheels? That and your phones camera would give you a nice large assortment of body styles to work with.
Mmmmmm. Now I want a bucket of hot wings.
That is actually a brilliant idea: I am totally stealing it for my drawing. AND I already have “a bucket of Hot-Wheels” (a.k.a. I am totally raiding my son’s car collection (they’re not all Hot Wheels: but since I worked hard to get him a good selection of designs (and colours): it’ll make an awesome reference).
I dig the color coded speech bubbles in panel 7.
While it was fairly clear who was talking, as I ended up using an un-tailed balloon I decided it’d be for the best, and there’s some precedent for doing it (I typically use hair or eye color for the bubble color… in some cases those are the same, in this case hair color wouldn’t work very well…)
Which was effective, but possibly the coloring of the speech bubbles in panel five should be different to avoid confusing that with the panel 7 bubbles?
Panel 5 and 7 speech bubbles ARE different colors on my screen.
I know we’ve seen this system at past before, but it makes following the conversation so much easier it just makes me happy.
I’ve read books, like Steven King novel type books, where I wished they’d color coded some of the conversations.
I’m not arguing for them all to be color coded. Whatever amount of time spent doing that would be squandered for most panels. Even if it was a small amount of time, it could be better used elsewhere in most cases. But here? I’ll take my guilty pleasure in being inordinately happy about it. Thank you!
