Comic for Monday, January 4th
I mentioned previously (sorta) that Kally’s new jurisdiction was a double edged sword – while it puts her out of reach of IDS interference, the Military’s inter-dimensional jurisdiction is a lot more complicated. They probably sort of hoped no one outside the IDS would know the difference, unfortunatelyย I’m fairly confident Peter’s knowledge of things is directly proportional to how inconvenient it is for other people for him to know that thing; much like Kally’s ability to appear at the top of a flight of stairs is directly proportional to how little the person she’s appearing in front of wants to see her ๐
Of course… Arron’s plans may not be all that simple themselves, whoย knows what the ol’ man is up to.
If you didn’t check out the new voting incentive, it’s up over on Top Webcomics available on the button to the left or here.
The art is pretty sketchy here to be honest (for the comic I mean). I’m still muddling along with some problems with a defective drawing wrist. Hopefully I’ll have more to say on that sooner or later, but still a week off next doctor visit. Unfortunately it’s sort of the situation where some days are better than others, but without a buffer I’m not quite able to draw enough at the moment to get comics done before their due. All that aside… well, if you’ve made here through the archive, I’m sure you’ve suffered through worse. It’ll (hopefully) get better again.
I’m not sure if “you too” or “you to” is correct. I imagine someone’s going to tell me that ‘neither, it should be “you also”‘, but hey, blame Peter. He said it, not me!
We’ve had quite a few new readers around it seems, so to all those that are just getting used to these endless spiels under pages (cause I really hope people aren’t reading these as they flip through the archive…), welcome! ๐
Geez, Peter, FEED THE KID before you get into a one-up snarksmanship match. O.o
Honestly, the artwork doesn’t look all that bad–you even have backgrounds. ๐ Save the hand, and don’t overdo. *Stern look of incipient reproof*
Nice alt-text, and possibly the cutest Naomi Vote Incentive ever. ^^
Snarksmanship ๐ I like it.
As for the art… I suppose. I have unfair expectations of linear art progression, if ain’t better then the last page, I ain’t happy! I think I’d be more sane if I only checked back every 6 months or so, cause I’m pretty sure it does get better when I go look at/replace the old stuff, but blarg.
If history is any indication, I’m pretty bad about the not overdoing it step. I think its the overdoing part. ๐
Its a running theme with vote incentives when I can’t decide what to draw… just resort to the ol’ formula [Naomi] + [Doing Thing] = Vote Incentive! Seemed to work so far! ๐
Just curious. Your donate picture shows you playing violin. I’ve been a violinist since I was 8. I’m 45, now. I’m no virtuoso, but I don’t sound too bad. Anyway, thanks for your cool comic, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
If the curiosity is if I plan violin, sadly I do not ๐ ; the character Peter does in the comic, but I’m honestly not sure if/when it’ll come up in the comic… if it ever does, I know who to ask about the technical details now though? ๐
Thanks for the comment and the kind words, and hope you’ve had a great start to your new year as well! ๐
Hey Peter, “you too” is fine, but you sound like you’re at a formal dinner party. Maybe “you’re also”? Also, Naomi in P5: “the last one tried” seems like it might be missing a “that” in it or something.
There’s something about the way you’ve drawn Peter in the last panel; I quite like it. Maybe it’s the smirk…
And yeah, I’m a new reader who read every spiel on my way through the archives. I guess I should get out more.
I fixed Naomi’s speech. Decided to leave Peter’s as long as it’s just ‘weird’ then I get to blame Peter for it! ๐
It’s what I like to call Peter’s “are we sure this is the good guy” look, but yeah, it’s also called smirking ๐
Well, on the bright side if you read them through the archives it means the time spent writing them was a little better spent ๐ – hell of a thing to do though… I’m a rambly-fellow it seems. Personally I think going outside is borderline overrated, and best done in moderation. Especially in winter.
