Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoy the new page. Coming up on the end of this chapter rapidly! Also, new vote incentives up! At last, previews of next week’s page. Geeze, sorry about the delays, with the puppies and all it’s been a wreck here. Also, please stop by our chat room and have a talk. The creators of several popular online comics stop in time to time, so come by and say hello. =]

Thanks, I don’t plan to change it much, just seems I drag things out sometimes. I suppose all stories and comics have their differences.

I dont think the story is progressing slowly, its more just a problem that comes with most web comics for someone like me, where I find it easier to read a lot in one go =3
But I've pretty much caught up now! I quite like the 'slow' progress of the story, it switches back and forth between various characters and situations perfectly, and it works very well this way. The pacing allows for a good detailed introduction to the intricate world and interesting variety of characters :) I think it is hard to keep up a good sense of pace/story telling when you are doing pages only a few times a week, but the comic is perfectly paced when read all in one go, and the little excerpts of information in between chapters (of which I never read before) is a good idea.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. Yeah, I sometimes feel that I’m working on 4 or 5 different comics, rather than just the one. I think it’d make a better tv show or something. X_x

I get so excited about world creation I’m afraid I sacrifice character realism. They’re not supposed to be characters, they’re supposed to be real people as far as I’m concerned, so lots of times I try to make them sound as such. Messing up their sentences, using slang, etc, which makes the pages drag out more. I pick up comics today, and they read like scripts. Not people talking, I try to make people talk. =]

ummm…. so, he's talking to a box? wonder what's in the box

and I wonder if what he has is the same as what Sadat's kid has and that's why he's so cool about giving Sadat the medicine for him
-Posted on Jan 07, 2008
Whoa, very cool and interesting, and possibly correct, observations! Thank you for putting so much thought into this. ^_^

I love his little "evil eyebrow." I think it finally clicked as to what's happening. I'm going to squeal with glee if I'm right!

Awww, I hope you are! =P

Hey Hyp… that 2nd panel… did you cut and paste the guy into the frame? It looks it sorta. And, I gotta say… it kinda looks cool. Sort of a 3d effect. Anyways… the pages are still doing great. Loving it.

Nooo, but it is a bad frame. I was outlining him some to pull him out of the background, but I shouldn’t have left the halo that bright. I had a rough week during this page’s creation. That is my excuse for now. =)

This is getting curiouser and curiouser by the page…

Hee…evidentially whatever deal he made wasn't very well explained to him.

HAH!
