Comic for Wednesday, April 22nd
Once more I struggle with how to make thought bubbles. I’ve left them as just simple squared off bubbles with no tails, since I think its pretty clear whose thoughts are being represented here (and since I don’t use the square bubble for narration as I don’t have narration) I hope it’s clear enough.
Will try to get a new vote incentive up in a bit (you’ll know its updated when the thumbnail changes. Not making massive progress on the buffer, but I am very slowly getting ahead. Even given the circumstances though I really do want to make sure the art starts making progressing again – was okay with it stalling out for a but don’t want to sort of plateau (which would be a generous description of where we’ve been at the last couple weeks).
Little over a week till surgery now; still not a ton of info of what will happen after it. For now I am not hiring an artist to cover for me and hoping there will be no break in updates. No promises yet though. No real improvement on the shoulder either though, unfortunately.

The boxes are violating thought/speech bubble conventions. Dnt violate our understanding of this.
A light is starting to dawn. ^^
Um did Tyler say that out loud in the last panel? Is Kallisto about to have a poop fit when Tyler puts two and two together and spills the beans on Peter? So many delicious questions…….
No, that’s just a thought. Sorry that’s not clear 🙁 I was discussing in the commentary I had some debate how to show thoughts again. I don’t like the cloud bubbles 🙁
Got any ideas?
I guess now we gotta wait and see if Tyler manages to keep beans unspilled! 😀 Would be hard to blame anyone but Peter – the guy’s greatest weakness has got to be his mouth.
Aaargh. I missed the word “thought” in your commentary. Communication is so much more effective when the reader is paying attention. 🙁
I won’t have a problem with it from now on, but if you like the shape and still want a greater differentiation, how about tinting the thought bubbles? Pick a color you don’t use for backgrounds very often? I have some vision problems, so I couldn’t read low-contrast color combinations. (Black on dark red, dark green or dark blue; white on gray–that sort of thing)
I think Peter’s biggest problem is his desire to be clever. I don’t think he realizes how distinctive his speech patterns are, and doesn’t expect anyone else to be able to pick up on them. ^^
That is a disturbingly good summary of Peter. 😀
